What is Gastroenterology? 

Gastroenterology is the field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the digestive system. The digestive system is a complex network of organs and tissues that work together to break down food and absorb nutrients. Any disruption in this process can lead to a wide range of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. 
In this article, we will take a closer look at what gastroenterology is, the different types of GI disorders, the diagnostic tools used in gastroenterology, the treatment options available, and much more. Let's get started! 

What Does a Gastroenterologist Do? 

A gastroenterologist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases of the digestive system. They are trained to perform procedures such as endoscopy, colonoscopy, and other diagnostic tests to identify the root cause of GI disorders. 
Gastroenterologists work closely with other healthcare professionals, including primary care physicians, surgeons, and nutritionists, to develop a comprehensive treatment plan that meets the unique needs of each patient.
