actually the word gastrointestinal means "having to do with the stomach or intestines"! so if someone were to say "man, I'm having some gastrointestinal problems", it means that there is something wrong with their stomach and/or intestines.

Your digestive health is directly impacted by the foods you eat and the lifestyle you live. By taking steps to improve your digestive health, your digestive system will function more efficiently, improving your overall health and sense of well-being. Heartburn may be the first sign of a more serious problem like gastroesophageal reflux disease . Also known as acid reflux, GERD has been linked to the progression of Barrett’s esophagus and esophageal cancer. If you suffer from heartburn or acid indigestion more than twice a week, you may have reflux disease. Dr. Berookim can diagnose GERD and treat your symptoms to minimize your risk of developing Barrett’s esophagus, which can be a precursor to esophageal cancer.

It pertains to the digestive system. Stomach, intestines, etc. Doctors and nurses usually abbreviate it "G.I". And there's "upper G.I." and "lower G.I." to differentiate.
