Originating from or caused by the stomach.
From gastro- (stomach) + -genic (Greek genos, origin or production). This medical adjective emerged to describe conditions, diseases, or reactions that originate in the stomach.
If a doctor tells you that your symptoms are 'gastrogenic,' they're saying your stomach is the culprit, not your brain or emotions—which is actually good news because stomach problems are often easier to treat! This term helps distinguish physical stomach issues from conditions that seem physical but start elsewhere.
