Digestive & Liver

See how digestion works and exactly what each condition changes — in interactive 3D with a live gut-rhythm trace — then find care.

Conditions in this section

• Acidity & Acid Reflux (GERD) — Stomach acid escapes up into the food pipe — causing heartburn and a sour taste, and very manageable.
• Peptic Ulcer — A raw sore in the stomach or upper-gut lining — usually from a germ or painkillers, and usually curable.
• Gallstones — Hard stones form in the gallbladder — often silent, but can cause severe pain and need surgery.
• Fatty Liver Disease — Fat builds up in the liver — very common, usually silent, but reversible early with the right changes.
• Viral Hepatitis (B & C) — Viruses inflame the liver — hepatitis B is preventable by vaccine and hepatitis C is now curable.
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) — A sensitive, over-reactive gut causing pain, bloating and changed bowel habits — real, common and manageable.
