Relating to or involving the stomach and intestines together.
From 'gastro-' (stomach) + 'enteric' from Greek 'enterikos' relating to intestines. This combination describes the combined gastroenterologic system.
The term 'gastroenteric' is really just a fancy way of saying 'stomach and intestines,' which is why modern medicine often just calls it the 'GI tract' instead—shorter is winning in modern medical speech!
