Why does this happen?

The main cause of digestive disorders, is the deterioration of our digestive tract. With age, we are not young, which also applies to our stomachs, this "aging" makes them less effective, which provokes temporary disruptions in work. And everyone starts to monitor their health, only when the body already clearly informs about the presence of any problem, and requires its elimination.

But the disturbances in the work and the corresponding symptoms of a digestive disorder can also carry a chronic character.

Chronic digestive disorder has several main causes: overeating, alcohol abuse, use of analgesics, food intake not perceived by your body, and eating at times when the body is under stress, as well as obesity and smoking. Strangely enough, but usually in patients diagnosed with a chronic disorder, almost the entire spectrum of the above causes is found, or at least the greater part of it. People are more often affected by disorders, who like to eat, which, accordingly, reflects on the appearance of excess weight.

Than to treat.

It happens in our lives and so that such troubles overtake us at the most inopportune moment, and require immediate action to eliminate the emerging symptoms of digestive disorders. Initially, try to have on hand special herbal teas, or drugs that you prescribed a doctor, and use them when necessary. Remember that medicines should be chosen individually for you, and their complete set completely correspond to the symptoms to which you are most inclined. Herbal teas or preparations are sold in any pharmacy, and are designed for both prevention and treatment of the disorder. It is useful to keep a small stock of phyto-tea at home, they can help you in an unforeseen situation. Usually you can not predict the disorder, of course, if it has not become a regular occurrence for you. Therefore, it is better to be in all weapons.

If you have an important event ahead of you, and you do not want unexpected troubles, it's better to refrain from smoking, especially before meals, and do not get carried away by chewing gum. Chewing gum, not only stimulates the secretion of gastric juice, but also helps to swallow a large amount of air during chewing. Therefore, if you are very addicted, you can get a small swelling and eructation unnoticed for yourself.

Do not overeat during a feast, do not swallow food with chunks, but chew it thoroughly, and remember the restriction with alcohol. Try not to overload your body with excessive physical activity after eating. Physical stress provokes outflow of blood from the stomach, which reduces the effectiveness of digestion.
