Acid Indigestion Symptoms

Acid indigestion isn't actually a condition on its own. It's usually connected to another digestive disorder, like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or a stomach infection. However, it does possess certain symptoms that will indicate that you are suffering from acid indigestion.

  1. Burning Sensation

    • One of the most common symptoms of acid indigestion is a burning sensation around the area of the stomach or abdomen.

    Pain or Discomfort

    • More often than not, the burning sensation due to acid indigestion will bring a certain amount of pain or discomfort to the abdominal region.

    Gas

    • Most people suffering from acid indigestion will also experience some gas, which would include both flatulence and burping, as well as bloating.

    Nausea

    • Many people suffering from acid indigestion will also experience nausea or an upset stomach. This may prompt some vomiting or a loss of appetite.

    Sour Taste

    • Since acid indigestion is due to condition involving a person's digestion, most sufferers will also experience an almost acidic or sour taste toward the back of their mouth.

    Heartburn

    • Though not an actual symptom of acid indigestion, most people dealing with this digestive state will also suffer from heartburn, which brings with it a burning sensation of its own located in the chest and sometime up into the throat.
