What causes digestive problems?
An imbalance in intestinal flora and a deficiency of digestive enzymes play a major role in the onset of digestive disorders. Indeed, if these digestive enzymes are insufficient, food is poorly digested and can cause digestive discomfort, gas, and diarrhea.
These imbalances can be due to external factors:
- Bad eating habits: diet too fatty, sugary, salty
- Food intolerances that promote inflammation: gluten, lactose, etc.
- Hearty meal
- Excessive alcohol consumption
- Tobacco
Digestive problems can also be caused by psychological factors such as stress and anxiety, or even by certain medications. This is why some digestive problems can occur after taking antibiotics.
It is also noted that pregnant women may have digestive difficulties or slower digestion.
How do pains related to digestive disorders manifest themselves?
Functional digestive disorders caused by a malfunctioning digestive system most often manifest themselves in the stomach: pain, cramps, stomach rumbling, loss of appetite, nausea, heartburn, hiccups, acid reflux, etc. or in the intestine: bloating (feeling of a swollen stomach), gas, etc.
When the stomach is filled with too much air, it is called aerophagia or bloating. This phenomenon causes swelling, intestinal pain, and belching (eructations) and/or flatulence.
Furthermore, digestive disorders are often the cause of skin problems: eczema, acne , Rosacea … We believe that what happens on the inside shows on the outside. Any imbalances in our bodies are usually reflected in our skin. That's why it's important to take good care of your health and yourself, first and foremost on the inside.
How to remedy digestive problems?
There's no miracle cure for digestive issues. However, you can follow these tips and adopt a healthy lifestyle, limiting your consumption of foods that can cause stomach or intestinal pain. By supplementing your diet with nutrients that effectively rebalance your intestinal flora, you can see noticeable beneficial effects.
Adopt healthier habits
If you are sensitive and particularly affected by digestive problems and bloating, we advise you to reduce your consumption of carbonated drinks, milk and cruciferous vegetables (cabbage) and favor a low-fat diet. Certain foods help limit the production of intestinal gas, such as coriander, cumin, fennel, etc.
When eating, eat slowly and chew your food well to avoid swallowing too much air. It is also recommended to limit/quit smoking and engage in relaxing activities to combat stress.
Bloating
If your stomach swells due to gas in your stomach or intestines, this is called bloating. Bloating is usually accompanied by stomach pain, flatulence, and belching. These discomforts are quite common and completely harmless.
Excessive gas absorption can be due to the consumption of carbonated drinks or excessive air swallowed during meals and causes pain. It is also possible that your intestines produce too much gas, because you have ingested foods that ferment easily in the digestive system such as cauliflower, broccoli, etc. In case of food intolerances (lactose, gluten, etc.), it is also possible to have difficulty digesting.
In all cases, we notice an imbalance of the intestinal flora which leads to digestive problems and recurring bloating.
Food supplements
You can also resort to taking dietary supplements . Dietary supplements are used in addition to a balanced and varied diet. They provide the body with the nutrients needed to relieve ailments or compensate for deficiencies by promoting a good balance.
