Gastroenterology is a medical specialty focused on the digestive system and its disorders. It deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the stomach, intestines, esophagus, liver, pancreas, gallbladder, and rectum. Common conditions include acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), ulcers, Crohn’s disease, and hepatitis.
