Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Overview

Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a symptom of a disorder in your digestive tract. The blood often appears in stool or vomit, but isn't always visible. The level of bleeding can range from mild to severe and life-threatening. Finding the cause of GI bleeding can be difficult. But sophisticated imaging technology can usually locate the problem, and minimally invasive procedures often can fix it.
