Indigestion may result from a problem in the stomach or intestines, or it may be a disorder in itself.
Symptoms can include belching, gas, abdominal pain, grumbling noises, a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting, and a burning sensation after eating. Swallowing air by chewing with
your mouth open, talking while chewing, or gulping down food can cause indigestion. Drinking liquids with meals contributes to indigestion be cause it dilutes the enzymes needed for digestion. Certain foods and drinks can cause indigestion because they irritate the digestive tract. These include: alcohol,
caffeine, vinegar, and greasy/spicy/ or refined foods. Other factors that can cause or contribute to indigestion
include intestinal obstruction, mal-absorption, peptic
ulcers, and disorders of the
pancreas, liver, or gallbladder. Food allergies and intolerances (such as
lactose intolerance) also can cause indigestion. If food is not digested properly, it can ferment in the intestines, producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Foods high in complex
carbohydrates, such as grains and legumes, are the primary foods responsible for gas because they are difficult to digest,
and therefore more likely to yield undigested particles on which the intestinal bacteria act. Psychological factors such as stress
,
anxiety, worry, or disappointment can disturb the nervous mechanism that controls the contractions of stomach and intestinal muscles. A lack of digestive enzymes can also cause intestinal problems.
Heartburn often accompanies indigestion.
A colon intestinal cleansing may also
be useful and it promotes overall good health. ...more
