The two main types are Crohn&#8217;s disease and ulcerative colitis, which can cause symptoms like abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding.<\/li><li>Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A functional disorder that affects the large intestine, causing symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and diarrhea. It doesn&#8217;t cause inflammation or permanent damage to the digestive tract.<\/li><li>Gallstones: Hardened deposits that form in the gallbladder, often composed of cholesterol or bilirubin. Gallstones can cause severe pain in the upper abdomen and may require surgical removal in some cases.<\/li><li>Hepatitis: Inflammation of the liver, usually caused by viral infections. Hepatitis can be caused by different viruses, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Symptoms can vary, but they often include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abdominal pain.<\/li><li>Diverticular Disease: The formation of small pouches (diverticula) in the lining of the colon. When these pouches become inflamed or infected, it is called diverticulitis, which can cause abdominal pain, fever, and changes in bowel habits.<\/li><li>Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas, which can be acute or chronic.
