GERD (GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE) - (acid reflux)

Is a condition in which the acidified liquid content of the stomach backs up into the esophagus. The symptoms of uncomplicated GERD are primarily heartburn (sometimes interpreted as chest pain), regurgitation, and nausea.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

is a functional disease, that is, a disease in which the intestine (bowel) functions abnormally. The primary symptoms of IBS are constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Secondary symptoms include abnormal passage of stool, abnormal form of stool, increased amounts of mucus in the stool, and a subjective feeling of abdominal distention (bloating).

Crohn's Disease

A form of inflammatory bowel disease( IBD). It usually affects the intertine but may occur anywhere from mouth to the end of the rectum

Ulcerative colitis

(Colitis ulcerosa, UC) is a form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Ulcerative colitis is a form of colitis, a disease of the colon (large intestine), that includes characteristic ulcers, or open sores. The main symptom of active disease is usually constant diarrhea mixed with blood, of gradual onset. IBD is often confused with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a troublesome but much less serious condition.

Ulcerative colitis has similarities to Crohn's disease, another form of IBD. Ulcerative colitis is an intermittent disease, with periods of exacerbated symptoms, and periods that are relatively symptom-free. Although the symptoms of ulcerative colitis can sometimes diminish on their own, the disease usually requires treatment to go into remission. The disease is more prevalent in northern countries of the world, as well as in northern areas of individual countries or other regions. Rates tend to be higher in more affluent countries, which may indicate the increased prevalence is due to increased rates of diagnosis. Although ulcerative colitis has no known cause, there is a presumed genetic component to susceptibility. The disease may be triggered in a susceptible person by environmental factors. Although dietary modification may reduce the discomfort of a person with the disease, ulcerative colitis is not thought to be caused by dietary factors.

Ulcerative colitis is treated as an autoimmune disease. Treatment is with anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppression, and biological therapy targeting specific components of the immune response. Colectomy (partial or total removal of the large bowel through surgery) is occasionally necessary if the disease is severe, doesn't respond to treatment, or if significant complications develop. A total proctocolectomy (removal of the entirety of the large bowel) can be curative, but it may be associated with complications.

Indigestion

upper abdominal pain (above the navel),belching, nausea (with or without vomiting), abdominal bloating (the sensation of abdominal fullness without objective distention), early satiety (the sensation of fullness after a very small amount of food), abdominal distention (swelling as opposed to bloating).

Intestinal Gas and ACIDITY

The usual cause of belching is excessive gas in the stomach that comes from swallowed air. It can cause abdominal pain, chest pain, distention of abdomen, belching, flatulence, gastritis

Esophagus disorders

The most common problem with the esophagus is gastro esophageal reflex disease. Your esophagus is the tube that carries food from your mouth to your stomach.Gero happens when the muscles at the end of your esophagus does not close properly. This allows the stomach content to leak back. You may feel burning in the chest and throat called "heartburn" Sometime you taste stomach fluid in the back of your mouth
