Indigestion
Causes - Things That Make It Worst
What are some
things and foods that cause indigestion?
Indigestion
is a very common health problem, especially in modern society. Many
people, too often, just "live with the problem" and do not take any
actions to treat this condition.
Most people simply take
non-prescription or over-the-counter medications available in
pharmacies to get temporary relief. When the medication wears off and
the symptoms return, they will continue to take more of it.
Let's look at possible causes and eating habits that can contribute to this condition.
What Is
Indigestion?
Indigestion
is a condition when your digestive system is unable to properly break down the
foods that you eat. This causes improper or incomplete
digestion of food.
This condition can be caused by too much or
too little acids in your stomach and/or insufficient amounts of
digestive enzymes in your intestines.
Symptoms of indigestion
include bloating, stomach gas, belching, burning sensation in your
stomach, flatulence, poor appetite or nausea.
