Intestinal Disorders

Intestinal disorders are conditions that affect the digestive system's functioning, primarily involving the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. These can cause symptoms like pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and malnutrition. Common disorders include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis), infections, and food intolerances. They may result from immune responses, infections, genetics, or lifestyle factors. Proper diagnosis and management often involve medical treatment, dietary adjustments, and ongoing monitoring to maintain digestive health and prevent complications.
