3 Most Common Digestive Issues

Everyone has digestive issues sometimes, and they’re never any fun. Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, frequent or rare, there are solutions. Here are three of the most common digestive issues and how you can deal with them.

Common Digestive Issues Include:

Constipation

Constipation happens when your colon absorbs too much water, making your stools so hard and dry that passing them is difficult or painful. Several factors cause constipation, including: too little fiber in the diet, physical inactivity, dehydration, digestive disorders, and side effects from certain medications.

To prevent constipation, try adding more fluids and fiber-rich foods to your diet. An aloe supplement is also helpful, as it helps your body to properly absorb nutrients. Constipation usually passes on its own but, if it lasts for more than two weeks, you should see a doctor.

Bloating

This uncomfortable issue happens when there’s too much air in the GI tract, making the abdomen feel swollen, tight, and sometimes painful. You may also experience excessive flatulence. Bloating usually happens after swallowing too much air; to prevent it, try eating more slowly and avoiding carbonated beverages.

In other cases, bloating occurs when there aren’t enough good bacteria in the GI tract. To increase healthy flora in the gut, try eating yogurt with live bacteria, drinking kefir, or taking an aloe supplement.

Acid Reflux

Also known as heartburn, acid reflux occurs when stomach acid goes back up the food pipe and causes a burning sensation in the lower chest. Risk factors for acid reflux include obesity, smoking, certain medications, and consumption of alcohol or caffeine.

Lifestyle changes usually stop or lessen the occurrence of heartburn; consider losing weight, quitting smoking, or cutting back on alcohol. An aloe supplement may also reduce symptoms by promoting proper digestion. If these solutions don’t work, you may want to see a doctor, as long-term acid reflux can cause complications.
