Other Intestinal Diseases

Intestinal diseases include a wide range of conditions affecting the digestive tract, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and intestinal infections. Symptoms vary but often include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and weight loss. Causes range from infections and autoimmune disorders to dietary intolerances and genetic factors. Diagnosis involves blood tests, imaging, endoscopy, or colonoscopy. Treatment depends on the condition and may include dietary changes, medications, probiotics, or surgery. Preventive measures include a high-fiber diet, proper hydration, stress management, and avoiding trigger foods. Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management.
