Dear Reader,
The human digestive system is incredibly complex. It acts both as food transporter and food processor, requiring the efficient function of many different organs to transform what you eat and drink into a mixture that fuels good health. Sometimes, things can go wrong, or the process doesn’t work as well as it should. Heartburn, pain, cramps, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, bleeding – these are some of the ways your digestive system alerts you to a problem.
Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health, Fourth Edition covers signs and symptoms, causes, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for the most common digestive conditions, as well as preventive actions to consider. Inside, you’ll find the following conditions and much more: |
|
|
|
| Celiac disease Colorectal cancer Constipation and diarrhea Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis |
| Diverticular disease Gallbladder disease Heartburn, ulcers and GERD Liver and pancreatic disease |
|
|
|
| Mayo Clinic on Digestive Healthwill help you learn how to spot symptoms of common – and not so common – digestive issues. Too often, people wait too long before seeking help from their doctors. In general, the earlier you address a problem, the easier it is to prevent it from being serious. Here’s hoping that this book can help you enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer digestive concerns. |
