What are gastrointestinal disorders?
Before I can answer this, I must explain the GI tract and the stomach. Gastrointestinal Tract (GI Tract) is a tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It releases enzymes and hormones that help digest food. The stomach is an organ that is between the esophagus and small intestine. It stores food, breaks down food with stomach acid and sends the food to the small intestine.
The organs in the GI tract collect food and water, takes out the nutrients in the food and excretes the waste. To successfully do this, it takes a cooperative work on body components that includes the heart, brain, liver, and pancreas. Each organ will move around digestive enzymes in the body, which could cause individuality. In a short explanation, something can go wrong while the enzymes move around the body and can cause irritable conditions to certain organs or send the wrong message to another organ.
