DIGESTIVE PROBLEMS

Digestive problemsare often symptoms of malfunctioning of the gastrointestinal system. They are common and can affect anyone. Here are some of the most common issues:

Stomach Discomfort: This can feel like pain or cramping in the abdomen. It often happens due to overeating, stress, or infections.

Bloating: Bloating is when your stomach feels full and tight. It can be caused by gas, overeating, or certain foods like beans or carbonated drinks.

Heartburn: Heartburn is a burning feeling in the chest, often after eating. It’s caused by stomach acid moving up into the esophagus, usually due to spicy or fatty foods.

Indigestion: Indigestion causes discomfort after eating, including feeling overly full. It can happen due to eating too fast, fatty foods, or stress.

Nausea: Nausea is the uneasy feeling in the stomach that often leads to the urge to vomit. It can be caused by motion sickness, food poisoning, infections, or stress.

Vomiting: Vomiting is the body’s way of getting rid of harmful substances. It’s often caused by infections, food poisoning, or motion sickness.

Constipation: Constipation is when bowel movements are infrequent or difficult. It can result from a lack of fiber, dehydration, or inactivity.

Diarrhea: Diarrhea is loose, watery stools. It’s often caused by infections, food intolerance, or digestive disorders.

Food poisoning happens when you eat food contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Common symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach cramps. It usually occurs after eating food that has not been cooked or stored properly, such as undercooked meat, unwashed fruits and vegetables, or expired dairy products. Contaminated water can also cause food poisoning. Most cases improve on their own, but severe symptoms may need medical attention to prevent dehydration or other complications.
