Stomach Digestion Problems
-
Symptoms
-
Symptoms can range from excessive bloating to diarrhea, stomach cramps and unwanted gas. If you suffer from any of these symptoms regularly, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any more serious diseases, such as stomach cancer.
Indigestion and Heartburn
-
Indigestion, or acid reflux, and heartburn can be uncomfortable but are not life-threatening. Some foods, or even stress, may aggravate the symptoms. Eating too quickly should be avoided, along with spicy foods.
Irritable Bowel
-
Irritable bowel syndrome varies from person-to-person. Changes to diet almost always alleviate some of the symptoms. A high fiber diet, including whole grains and lots of fresh fruit and vegetables, is important to relieve constipation. Avoiding gas-producing foods is also recommended.
