When you eat, your body breaks food down to a form it can use to build and nourish cells and provide energy. This process is called digestion.

Your digestive system is a series of hollow organs joined in a long, twisting tube. It runs from your mouth to your anus and includes your esophagus, stomach, and small and large intestines. Your liver, gallbladder and pancreas are also involved. They produce juices to help digestion.

There are many types of digestive disorders. The symptoms vary widely depending on the problem.

This is a great application that discusses the most important topics in digestive disorders.

This application is ideal for all medical professionals, medical residents and interns, nurses, medical students, and of course curious lay people who just want to learn more about the digestive system and digestive disorders.
