Understanding Dyspepsia<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Also known as dyspepsia, this condition is defined as persistent or recurring pain or discomfort in the <\/em><\/strong>stomach<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/a> top.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What are the symptoms of digestive disorders?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Symptoms digestive problems<\/u><\/strong><\/a> may include:
\u2022 A burning sensation in stomach<\/strong><\/a> or the upper abdomen
\u2022 Abdominal pain<\/strong><\/a>
\u2022 <\/strong>Bloating<\/strong><\/a> (full-bodied)
\u2022 Belching and gas
\u2022 Nausea and vomiting<\/strong><\/a>
\u2022 <\/strong>A sour taste in the mouth
\u2022 Stomach<\/strong><\/a> sounds like<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

These symptoms may worsen during times of stress.
People often experience upper abdominal pain or a burning sensation in the chest (heartburn) along with indigestion.
However, heartburn itself is a separate symptom and may indicate other problems.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Who is at risk?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Digestive disorders can affect people of all ages, both men and women. These conditions are very common. A person\u2019s risk increases with:<\/p>\n\t\t

\n
\n \t\t\t

Excessive alcohol consumption<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

The use of medications that can irritate the stomach, such as aspirin and other pain relievers<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Conditions that cause abnormalities in the digestive tract, such as ulcers<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Emotional issues, such as anxiety or depression<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What is the cause?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Digestive disorders have many causes, including:<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Diseases and conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u2022 Ulcer<\/u><\/a>
\u2022 GERD<\/u><\/a>
\u2022 Stomach cancer<\/u><\/a> (rare)<\/u>
\u2022 Gastroparesis<\/u><\/a> (a condition in which the stomach does not empty its contents properly; this often occurs in people with diabetes<\/a>)
\u2022 Stomach infection
\u2022 Irritable bowel syndrome<\/u><\/a>
\u2022 Pancreatitis<\/u><\/a> chronic
\u2022 Diseases thyroid<\/u><\/a>
\u2022 Pregnancy<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Medications<\/u><\/strong><\/a>:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u2022 Aspirin and other pain relievers, such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)<\/u><\/a>, for example ibuprofen<\/u><\/a> (Motrin<\/u><\/a>, Advil<\/u><\/a>), and naproxen<\/u><\/a> (Naprosyn<\/u><\/a>)
\u2022 Estrogen<\/u><\/a> and contraception<\/u><\/a> oral
\u2022 Medicine steroid<\/u><\/a>
\u2022 Antibiotics<\/u><\/a> certain
\u2022 Medicine thyroid<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Lifestyle:<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u2022 Eating too much, eating too quickly, consuming high-fat foods, or eating in stressful situations
\u2022 Drinking too much alcohol
\u2022 Smoking
\u2022 Stress and fatigue
Digestive problems are not caused by excess stomach acid.

Swallowing too much air while eating can increase symptoms of belching and bloating, which are often associated with digestive disorders.

Sometimes a person experiences persistent digestive problems that are not related to those factors. This type of disorder is called functional dyspepsia or non-ulcer dyspepsia.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

How is the diagnosis made?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

If you are experiencing symptoms of digestive problems, make an appointment to see a doctor.
Since \u201cdigestive problems\u201d is a very broad term, providing a detailed description of the discomfort you\u2019re experiencing will help your doctor.
When describing your symptoms, try to specify the part of your abdomen where the discomfort usually occurs. To rule out other possible underlying conditions, your doctor may:
\u2022 Perform several blood tests and X-rays of the stomach or small intestine.
\u2022 Recommend an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to get a closer look inside the stomach.

During the procedure, an endoscope\u2014a flexible tube equipped with a light and a camera to produce images from inside the body\u2014is used to view the inside of your stomach. <\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

What is the treatment?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t
\n \t\t\t

Because digestive disorders are symptoms, not diseases, treatment usually depends on the underlying condition causing the disorder.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

How can this be prevented?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

The best way to prevent digestive problems is to avoid foods and situations that seem to trigger symptoms. Keeping a food diary helps identify foods that cause digestive problems.

Here are a few more suggestions:
<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

1.<\/strong> Eat small portions so your stomach doesn't have to work too hard or for too long.
2.<\/strong> Eat slowly.
3.<\/strong> Avoid foods high in acid, such as citrus fruits and tomatoes.
4.<\/strong> Reduce or avoid foods and beverages that contain caffeine.
5.<\/strong> If stress triggers digestive problems, learn new ways to manage stress, such as relaxation techniques and biofeedback.
6.<\/strong> If you smoke, quit. Smoking can irritate the lining of the stomach.
7.<\/strong> Cut back on alcohol, as alcohol can also irritate the stomach lining.
8.<\/strong> Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight, as they can put pressure on the stomach and cause its contents to flow back into the esophagus.
9.<\/strong> Don't exercise on a full stomach. Exercise before eating or at least one hour after eating.
10.<\/strong> Don't lie down right after eating.
11.<\/strong> Wait at least three hours after your last meal of the day before going to bed.
12.<\/strong> Sleep with your head elevated higher than your feet (at least 6 inches) and use a pillow to support your body. This helps digestive fluids flow into the intestines rather than up into the esophagus.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Symptoms that resemble digestive problems can be caused by a heart attack.<\/strong>

If you experience unusual digestive symptoms accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, chest pain, or pain that radiates to the jaw, neck, or arm, seek medical attention immediately.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
