• Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): A chronic condition where stomach acid regurgitates into the esophagus, leading to heartburn and other symptoms.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A group of symptoms, including pain or discomfort in your abdomen and changes in bowel movement patterns that occur together.
• Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD): A room of conditions that cover chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract is Crohn's disease and another ulcerative colitis.
