Gastroenterology
Our digestive health research covers Crohn's disease, irritable bowel syndrome and liver disease.
About this area
Digestion breaks food down so the body can use it for energy and nourishment. The stomach and intestines are part of this process. The liver also helps with digestion.
Crohn's disease causes inflammation in the digestive tract. Irritable bowel syndrome can cause belly pain and changes in bowel movements. These are different conditions, even when some symptoms overlap.
