Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders affect the digestive tract, which runs from the mouth to the anus. It encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the digestive system, including the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. These disorders can impact digestion, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination. The symptoms, severity, and duration of gastrointestinal problems vary depending on the type of disorder. Below are some of the most common GI disorders and their key features.
Acidity - Also known as acid reflux or heartburn, occurs when the stomach gastric acids flow back up into the esophagus. This can cause a burning sensation in the chestor throat, often after eating or when lying down. Common triggers include spicyfoods, citrus fruits, caffeine and stress.
Constipation - is a common gastrointestinal condition characterized by infrequent, difficult, or painful bowel movements. It is often defined as having fewer than threebowel movements per week. The stool may be hard, dry, or lumpy, and passing it canbe straining or uncomfortable.
Gastritis - is the inflammation of the stomach lining, often resulting from infection, prolonged use of certain medications (like NSAIDs), excessive alcohol consumption,or stress. Symptoms can include stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and a feeling offullness after eating.
Bloating - refers to the feeling of fullness and tightness in the abdomen, often caused by gas or fluid retention. It can result from overeating, swallowing air, eating certainfoods (like beans, cabbage, or carbonated drinks), or digestive disorders such asirritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Symptoms include discomfort, a swollen abdomen,and sometimes, abdominal pain.
Fatty Liver - It occurs when excess fat builds up in liver cells, often due to alcohol
use or poor diet (high in fat and sugar). Common risk factors include obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
Hemorrhoids: Swollen veins in the lower rectum and anus.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) - is a chronic digestive condition where
stomach acid or bile irritates the food pipe (esophagus). The most common symptomis heartburn, a burning sensation in the chest.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) - IBS is a functional GI disorder characterized by
chronic abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits (such as diarrhea orconstipation). Unlike other GI conditions, IBS does not cause inflammation orstructural changes in the digestive tract.
Celiac Disease - It is an autoimmune disorder in which the ingestion of gluten (a
protein found in wheat, barley, and rye) triggers an immune response that damages thesmall intestine lining. This damage impairs nutrient absorption and can lead to avariety of complications
Crohn&39;s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis These are two types of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), conditions that cause chronic inflammation in the GI tract. While bothdiseases share many similarities, they differ in the areas of the digestive system they affect. Disease can affect any part of the GI tract, from the mouth to the anus,while ulcerative colitis primarily affects the colon and rectum.
Lactose Intolerance occurs when the body cannot properly digest lactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. It happens due to a deficiency in lactase, theenzyme that breaks down lactose in the small intestine.
Peptic Ulcers are open sores that develop on the lining of the stomach, small
intestine, or esophagus. They are commonly caused by infection with Helicobacterpylori bacteria or the overuse of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
