Digestive Diseases
Digestive diseases encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the digestive system, which processes food and absorbs nutrients. Common issues include gastritis (inflammation of the stomach), ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Symptoms may include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, and difficulty swallowing. These conditions can impact nutrients absorption and overall health. Treatment often involves dietary changes, medications, or in more severe cases, surgery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can help prevent some digestive disorders and promote better digestive health.
