Submit Abstract Register Now

Gastroenterology is the study of normal functioning and disease of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, colon and rectum, pancreas, gallbladder, biliary tract, and liver. This includes common and important conditions such as polyps and colon cancer, hepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (heartburn), gastric ulcer, colitis, gallbladder, and pathological disorders. Gallstones, nutritional problems, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and pancreatitis.

Many obesity-related disorders are gastrointestinal disorders, including the most common and earliest onset, including non-alcoholic fatty liver and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, gastroesophageal reflux disease, and bile stones. However, while patients often see a doctor for gastrointestinal problems, the underlying obesity is often untreated. Therefore, gastroenterologists are in a unique position to implement obesity treatment programs with the ability to intervene at an earlier stage when the patient is relatively healthy.
