Here are some common diseases of the digestive system:

• Constipation: A condition where waste (stool) moves too slowly through the digestive tract, leading to symptoms like excessive straining during bowel movements, hard stools, and decreased bowel movements. Treatment options include increased fluid and fiber consumption, laxatives, and enemas.
• Gastroenteritis (Stomach Flu): Inflammation of the stomach and intestines, often caused by viruses. Symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, cramps, and fever. Staying hydrated is crucial for recovery.
• Acid Reflux and GERD: Acid reflux occurs when stomach acids flow up into the oesophagus. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is a chronic form of acid reflux. Symptoms include heartburn, trouble swallowing, and a globus sensation. Untreated GERD can lead to oesophageal damage or cancer.
• Diverticulosis: Small pouches (diverticula) form in the colon wall. While most cases are asymptomatic, diverticulitis (inflammation of these pouches) can cause pain and other symptoms.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A common disorder characterized by abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits. Stress, diet, and other factors contribute to IBS.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): Chronic inflammation of the digestive tract, including Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. These conditions can cause severe symptoms and require medical management.
