Types of Gastrointestinal Disorders

1. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) – Acid from the stomach flows back into the esophagus, causing heartburn.
2. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) – A chronic disorder leading to abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements.
3. Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) – Includes Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, which cause inflammation in the intestines.
4. Peptic Ulcers – Sores in the stomach lining due to excessive acid or infection.
5. Gallbladder Disorders – Conditions like gallstones or inflammation affecting digestion.
6. Celiac Disease – An autoimmune reaction to gluten that damages the small intestine.
