Gastrointestinal disorders are terms used to describe diseases and conditions that occur in the digestive tract.

The gastrointestinal tract, along with the pancreas, liver, and gallbladder, make up the digestive system. It supplies blood to these organs and carries nutrients to different parts of the body. Hormones and nerves work together to regulate the function of the digestive system. The bacteria in your digestive tract (called your gut flora or microbiome) contribute to your digestion, immunity, and overall health. A membranous sac, called the peritoneum, holds all the organs of the digestive system together.

Many different illnesses and diseases affect the gastrointestinal tract and can affect digestion and general health.

Common digestive disorders are: 

Celiac disease: 

Celiac disease is a very serious autoimmune disease in which the small intestine becomes highly sensitive to gluten. Gluten causes your body's immune system to attack your small intestine. these are tiny finger-like projections that are useful resources withinside the absorption of vitamins.

Currently, the only treatment for celiac disease is a lifelong gluten-free diet. Terminology Many people have regular bowel movements, so the time from stool to constipation varies from person to person.

Constipated people usually have small, dry, hard stools that are difficult to pass. Other symptoms include abdominal gas or bloating and painful bowel movements. Hemorrhoids are usually accompanied by constipation.

Laxatives are an excellent option for relieving constipation, and lifestyle changes can help prevent constipation from recurring.

The exact cause is still unknown, but it is more common in "Western" countries and is inherited in families and diet.

Hemorrhoids can press on the rectum but are usually invisible. After a bowel movement, the inside of the rectum can prolapse ("pop"), which is very painful. Treatments include hemorrhoid creams and suppositories. Other, more specialized treatments such as sclerotherapy or laser treatment may be needed.
