The major function of the gastrointestinal system is to digest and absorb nutrients while food moves mechanically from the mouth to the large intestine (where non-absorbable waste is stored for elimination). When this processing of food is interrupted then significant problems and abdominal pain may develop.
This section focuses on problems of the gastrointestinal system that may result in chronic pelvic pain, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and other disorders of the gastrointestinal system.
