Gastrointestinal Disorders

Gastrointestinal disorders affect your digestive system, including your stomach, small and large intestines, esophagus, liver, gall bladder, and pancreas. Some of these problems are brief, while others can be chronic and serious. There are many types of GI disorders and the symptoms vary widely depending on the problem. Some conditions can even affect your entire digestive system at once, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). As the most commonly diagnosed disorder by gastroenterologists, IBS affects about 10-15% of the general population.
