Gastrointestinal Concerns
Gastrointestinal conditions are disorders of the digestive system. Also known as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the digestive system comprises of a range of vital digestive organs, including the mouth, large and small bowels, stomach, liver, esophagus, gallbladder, pancreas, rectum, and anus. Unfortunately, there are so many different gastrointestinal issues, so it is easy to mistakenly neglect them. Some GI problems are mild and usually go away on their own, but some conditions are serious enough that you have to see a physician or gastroenterologist.
