Digestive problems

What are digestive problems?

Digestive disorders are when different digestive processes do not proceed as they might be used to. Complaints include heartburn, unpleasant belching, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and constipation.

Digestive problems usually only plague us for a short time. However, there are some circumstances and also illnesses that influence our digestion in such a way that we notice it persistently unpleasant. Here it makes sense to look for the cause of this.

Where can the digestive problems come from?

Nutrition, lack of exercise, psychological stress situations alone can lead to a disorder in the gastrointestinal system. But also food intolerances, allergies, medications, and certain illnesses such as Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis or a irritable bowel can unbalance your digestion.
