Digestion is an essential and complex process in the human body. The system works to break down the food we eat into a format the body can use. A doctor who specializes in digestion is called a gastroenterologist. The term derives from the Greek words ‘gastros’ which means ‘meal’ and ‘enteron’ which refers to the stomach or the intestine. A gastroenterologist is a doctor who specializes in the study and treatment of digestive disorders.

For example, a person who suddenly stops eating meat may experience malabsorption and bloating as his body re-adjusts itself to eating less meat. In addition to changing your diet, you should also increase your intake of water and fiber to help your digestive system work optimally. If you experience severe bloating and vomiting after eating, you should visit a doctor immediately. Your doctor will test you for specific medical conditions such as cancer, anemia, Crohn’s disease, and viral gastroenteritis before diagnosing you with gastrointestinal issues.
