Gastroenterology

Change text size + -
 

The digestive system allows your body to get the nutrients and energy it needs from food you eat. This complex system is made up of the alimentary canal (also called the digestive tract), a long tube of organs — including the esophagus, stomach and intestines. The MeritCare Gastroenterology department focuses on the function of the digestive system and other related organs and treatment of digestive disorders.

Procedures

Many people go to a gastroenterologist with heartburn, ulcers and liver problems like hepatitis. Office visits often consist of an exam of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the prescription of medication to treat the problem.
