GASTROINTESTINAL

The gastrointestinal (GI) system, also known as the digestive system, is responsible for digesting food, absorbing nutrients, and eliminating waste. It includes organs such as the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines (small and large), liver, pancreas, and gallbladder. Common gastrointestinal conditions include acid reflux, gastritis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Maintaining a balanced diet, hydration, and regular medical check-ups can support GI health.
