What this trial studies

This study aims to collect clinical data and biological samples from adults with known or suspected gastrointestinal disorders who are receiving treatment at the NIH. Participants will undergo standard clinical care, including physical exams and medical record reviews, while their data and samples will be retained for future research on gastrointestinal diseases. The goal is to enhance understanding and treatment of these conditions through ongoing and future research projects.
