Your digestive system supports your entire body, so it is important to take proper care of the organs that break down and absorb food so that nutrients can be transported into your blood stream and delivered to cells throughout your body. Diseases of the digestive tract are responsible for the hospitalization of more people in the United States than any other group of disorders.

Many people are unfamiliar with the digestive system and ignore symptoms of serious problems, such as frequent heartburn, gas, constipation, diarrhea, nausea or stomach pain. The gastroenterologists at the Elmhurst Clinic understand this and will involve you in every step of the diagnosis and treatment.

What is Gastroenterology?

Gastroenterology involves function and diseases of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gall bladder, bile ducts and liver. It involves a detailed understanding of the normal action of the gastrointestinal organs, including the movement of material through the stomach and intestine, the digestion and absorption of nutrients into the body, removal of waste from the system and the function of the liver as a digestive organ.
