Source OXENG 1989 (the Oxford Dictionary) also gives "gastro-intestinal" in two words separated by a hyphen. However, most of the sources that we have consulted write "gastrointestinal" in one word. 3, record 1, English, - gastrointestinal%20tract

D'après la source LAROG (le Grand dictionnaire encyclopédique Larousse) «tractus gastro-intestinal» désignerait «l'ensemble des organes qui constituent l'appareil digestif». Cette définition très large du terme «tractus gastro-intestinal» nous surprend étant donné que l'adjectif «gastro-intestinal» est défini partout comme suit : «qui se rapporte à l'estomac et à l'intestin». Le LAROG rejoint la source anglaise GOMED, qui donne «gastro-intestinal tract» comme un synonyme de «alimentary canal» (en français : «tube, ou tractus, digestif»). Il est à noter que GOMED est la seule source qui fait pareil rapprochement. 4, record 1, French, - tractus%20gastro%2Dintestinal
