Gastrointestinal
GI stands for gastrointestinal. The gastrointestinal system is the system that includes the stomach and intestines. It is responsible for digesting food and absorbing nutrients.
GI problems are common in both children and adults. They can range from mild to severe, and can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, food allergies, and underlying medical conditions.
Treatment for GI problems depends on the cause and severity of the problem. In most cases, lifestyle changes and over-the-counter medications are all that is needed to treat mild GI issues. However, more severe problems may require prescription medication or even surgery.
