About Gastrointestinal Diseases
A gastrointestinal disease is one that affects the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, the passage that runs from the mouth to the anus. Some GI disorders include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), acid reflux, indigestion, colon cancer, and hemorrhoids. The GI tract is responsible for digestion—breaking down food so the body can absorb and direct nutrients to keep you healthy. Many GI diseases disrupt the healthy digestion of the food you consume.
