Gastroenterology is the field of medicine that
specializes in the digestive system. In the United
States, gastroenterology is an internal medicine
subspecialty. Disorders affecting the
gastrointestinal tract are the main focus for
gastroenterologists. The gastrointestinal tract
consists of the stomach and its intestines.
 Gastroenterologists have a thorough knowledge of
how food moves through the digestive tract and the
chemical and physical breakdown of food. They also
focus on the digestive purpose of the liver. Often times,
people see a gastroenterologist if they are having
abdominal pain, heartburn, difficulty swallowing,
constipation and diarrhea, or nausea and vomiting,
among other discomforts.
Gastroenterologists also help to treat cancers of the
gastrointestinal tract. Some common types of cancer
they treat include stomach cancer, liver cancer,
esophageal cancer, and gallbladder cancer.
