What is causing my digestive issues?
Factors that can contribute to digestive problems can be lack of friendly bacteria, malabsorption, ulcers, and problems with the gall bladder, liver or pancreas.
Food allergies and intolerances can also cause digestive issues, as can certain foods and drinks that irritate the digestive tract.
What is the usual treatment for indigestion?
The usual treatment for indigestion is the use of over-the-counter preparations like antacids and histamine H2-receptor antagonists – drugs that lower stomach acid and the digestive enzymes that digest protein.
However, in the long run, the regular use of medications like these can interfere with proper protein digestion, mineral absorption and actually promote bacterial overgrowth, which makes digestive problems worse. Laxatives used for constipation often encourage bloating rather than relieving it.
There's something about digestive difficulties that makes them hard to discuss in polite company, which leaves many of us suffering one problem or another in silence. Yet fixes can be as simple as making informed dietary and lifestyle changes and making use of natural remedies.
