bariatric surgery
Surgical reduction of gastric capacity to treat morbid obesity.
barium enema (BE)
Diagnostic procedure in which a series of radiographic images are taken of the large intestine after the rectal administration of the contrast agent barium.
celiac disease
Malabsorption syndrome caused by an immune reaction to gluten, which may damage the lining of the small intestine that is responsible for absorption of food into the bloodstream.
cirrhosis
Chronic disease of the liver with gradual destruction of cells and formation of scar tissue.
Commonly caused by alcoholism and certain types of viral hepatitis.
constipation
Infrequent or difficult evacuation of stool.
Chron disease
Chronic inflammation of the intestinal tract usually affecting the ileum and colon; characterized by cobblestone ulcerations and the formation of scar tissue that may lead to intestinal obstruction.
diarrhea
Frequent discharge of liquid stool.
endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography
Endoscopic procedure involving radiographic imaging or the biliary ducts and pancreatic ducts.
gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Disorder characterized by the abnormal backward flow of the gastrointestinal contents into the esophagus.
hemorrhoids
Swollen or distended veins in the rectal area, which may be internal or external, and can be a source of rectal bleeding and pain.
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
Periodic disturbances of bowel function, such as diarrhea and constipation, usually associated abdominal pain.
parenteral
Pertaining treatment other than through the digestive system.
peptic ulcer
Erosion of the mucous membrane of the stomach or duodenum associated with increased secretion of acid from the stomach, bacterial infection, or use of NSAIDs.
polyp
Tumorlike growth extending outward from a mucous membrane.
Stoma
Surgical opening between an organ and the surface of the body, such as the opening established in the abdominal wall by colostomy, ileostomy, or a similar operation.
Ulcerative Colitis (UC)
Diasease characterized by inflammation of the colon with formation of ulcers, which can cause bloody diarrhea.
Upper GI series (UGI series)
Diagnostic procedure in which a series of radiographic images are taken of the pharynx, esophagus, stomach and duodenum after the oral administration of the contrast agent barium.
