Indigestion
Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia or upset stomach, is described as discomfort in the upper abdomen or a nauseous feeling after eating a regular meal. Abdominal pain, feeling of fullness right after eating, and ache in the chest are a few symptoms of indigestion.
Functional or non-ulcer dyspepsia is a widespread cause of indigestion, particularly IBS cases. This is a term used to describe recurring symptoms and signs of indigestion. For example, patients with IBS often complain about suddenly feeling full while eating, abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, and bloating. All of these are symptoms associated with indigestion.
Most cases of recurring indigestion are the results of IBS. For instance, 7 out of 10 children who constantly complain about dyspepsia suffer from long-term IBS. Treating IBS can stop the occurrence of indigestion in most patients. Eating smaller and more frequent meals, chewing food slowly and thoroughly, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding food triggers, and exercising regularly can help relieve the pain and lessen the intensity of the discomfort.
