Recent research suggests that around the globe more than 2 billion cases of digestive diseases and disorders are diagnosed each year, making them some of the most prevalent medical issues.

This book explores 30 serious conditions affecting the digestive system, including autoimmune disorders such as celiac disease and ulcerative colitis, cancers, chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), stomach flu and other infections, and more. Utilizing a standardized structure, each entry discusses a particular condition's causes, prevalence, symptoms, potential complications, diagnosis, and treatment options. Treatment options highlighted include medications, surgical procedures, complementary and alternative therapies, and diet and lifestyle changes. Summaries of key research studies are included to help readers better understand the scientific community's findings about each condition. Introductory essays offer a broad overview of the digestive system's anatomy and physiology and discuss the most common GI symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bathroom habits. A further reading section at the end of each entry points readers toward additional resources to expand and deepen their knowledge.
