The GI tract is another name for your body's digestive tract. It consists of several tube-like organs joined togetherâ€”starting at the esophagus in the mouth and ending at your anus. Each piece of the GI tract plays a role in how your body digests (breaks down) food and nutrients. Organs that make up the GI tract include: Esophagus Stomach Small intestine (small bowel) Large intestine (colon) Rectum Anus The digestive system also includes organs that aren't part of the GI tract. These organs include: Gallbladder Liver Pancreas

Both gastroenterologists and GI surgeons diagnose and treat conditions affecting the digestive system. Gastroenterologists are trained in internal medicine and receive additional training in problems of the digestive system. They treat GI conditions medically (such as with medicines) and perform nonsurgical procedures, such as colonoscopies.
