Background
What gastroenterology covers
People often think of the digestive system as just the stomach and intestines. It is considerably larger than that, and problems in any part of it can cause symptoms elsewhere.
- Oesophagus
- The muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach.
- Stomach
- The muscular sac that begins breaking food down.
- Small intestine
- Where nutrients are absorbed from digested food.
- Colon and rectum
- Where water is reabsorbed and waste is formed and passed.
- Pancreas
- Produces digestive enzymes and insulin.
- Gallbladder
- Stores bile, which the body needs to digest fat.
- Bile ducts
- Carry bile from the liver and gallbladder into the small intestine.
- Liver
- Handles detoxification, protein production and bile production.
If you have heartburn, stomach pain, a change in bowel habit, jaundice, unexplained weight loss or an abnormal liver test, a gastroenterologist can work out which part of this system is involved and treat it directly.
