Gastro Enterology
As the main gateway into our body, the gastric system, which includes 26ft (8m) of intestine, is susceptible to a range of problems. All of them share the common symptoms of nausea, stomach pains, vomiting and diarrhoea.
When there is an infection in the stomach, it is known generally as gastro-enteritis. This can range from a mild tummy upset, caused by bacteria in contaminated food, to full-blown dysentery. Similar effects can be produced by poisonous foods, large amounts of alcohol, aspirins, or laxatives.
