Inflammation of both the stomach and the joints, often occurring together as part of a systemic disease.
From Greek 'gaster' (stomach) + 'arthron' (joint) + '-itis' (inflammation). This medical term describes a condition affecting multiple body systems simultaneously.
Some diseases like celiac or inflammatory bowel disease can cause gastroarthritis because the immune system attacks both the gut and joints—it's a reminder that your body systems are all connected!
