gastrointestinal issues

Stomach and bowel complaints

Problems affecting the digestive tract, from stomach to intestines.

The phrase serves as a polite, clinical-sounding way to describe conditions like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or abdominal pain: I've been having some gastrointestinal issues lately.
