The Only Fix You Need for these 5 Digestive Problems

The Troubles Associated with Gut Issues

It’s bad enough to have to live with a gastrointestinal (GI) disorder, but its even more troublesome when it affects you from living a normal life when you step outside of the home. There are times you must step out of work or a gathering because your issues make it hard to continue doing your job or contribute to a conversation. Others may deal with it in silence although they are suffering on the inside. Digestive issues can be one of the worst burdens to have because out of no where you may feel sudden pain, nausea, or an urge to use to use the bathroom. If you are uncertain of the type if GI disorder you are experiencing, take a look at these five common types:

1 – Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD): symptoms related to reflux, like heartburn, is a top digestive complaint. The burning sensation that is felt is, without a doubt, painful for many, but the bigger issue is that it can slowly erode the
esophageal tissue and lead to cancer later in life. Heartburn is described as a burning sensation that travels from the middle of the stomach towards the chest that may or may not be accompanied with a sour taste in the mouth. Increased production of saliva and remnants of food particles in the mouth may also occur.

2 – Peptic Ulcers: Unexplained stomach pain may be related to peptic ulcers that do not improve to feel better when taking pain medications. In fact, taking these drugs may actually worsen the condition because the true problem is bacteria related. The bacteria multiply, disrupting the protective mucous layer of the stomach. The area forms sores at the lining of the stomach or small intestine. Vomiting may also occur and stress along with certain foods (caffeine, spicy meals) can aggravate the problem.

3 – Diverticulitis: Older adults developing abnormal bulges, known as diverticula, anywhere along the GI tract that can form into diverticulitis, a tear, or abscess. While it is has long been advised for those with the disorder to stay away from stuff like corn, popcorn, and nut, there has not been any concrete evidence that consuming them will increase risk of getting or worsening the disorder. If anything, eating these foods seem to reduce the chance as they are good sources of fiber. The most common symptom is abdominal pain in the lower left or right quadrant, vomiting, nausea, and a tender stomach.  

4 – Leaky Gut: Leaky gut is a type of abnormal permeability within the intestines when it becomes damaged. This causes toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to pass through the digestive system and seep into the bloodstream, resulting in an autoimmune response. Allergic reactions to food and inflammatory conditions like fatigue, eczema, migraines, and rheumatoid arthritis result. Cells within the intestines can ultimately stop making the enzymes necessary for digestion, making it impossible for the body to take in and metabolize nutrients. Further complications can lead to a weaker immune system and hormone imbalance.

5 – Celiac Disease: Celiac disease is an autoimmune and GI disorder that makes it impossible for the tract to digest gluten (found in foods like barley, rye, oats, and wheat) as it normally should. Instead, the consumption triggers an attack on the small bowel. Symptoms vary from person to person but include vomiting, chronic diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain or bloating, and foul-smelling or fatty stool.
