Gastrointestinal Disoders

Gastrointestinal disorder is the term refers to any condition or disease that occurs within the gastrointestinal tract.

The GIT is a series of hollow organs that form a long continuous passage from our mouth to our anus. The organs that make up our GI tract are our mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. Gastrointestinal symptoms can vary in intensity from very mild to serious.

Our GI tract, together with our liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, make up our digestive system. An extensive network of blood vessels which supplies blood to these organs and also transport nutrients away to other organs in the body. Nerves and hormones work together to regulate the functioning of the digestive system and bacteria that reside within our GI tract play a role in digestion, immunity, and our overall health. A membranous sac called the peritoneum holds all the digestive system organs in place.
