And did you know that sometimes pain in the stomach after a meal - this is not the consequences of overeating (indigestion), and an alarm indicating the presence of a much more serious problems in the body? Try to understand that, when it hurts and why.
1. Reflux. And, more specifically, GERD - gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is characterized by reflux of acidic juice with food from the stomach back into the esophagus. Normally sphincter (a kind of muscular valve between the esophagus and stomach) intended to pass food exclusively in one direction. This weakens the sphincter at reflux and a portion of the gastric contents after ingestion of food rushes back. Naturally, the body causing irritation, heartburn.
The reason for GERD - a violation of the motor activity of muscular valve. Pain and discomfort (heartburn, regurgitation) in the case of this disease occur immediately after a meal and have nothing to do with physical exertion. If reflux is not treated, the affected teeth will develop a chronic cough, and even asthma, laryngitis may occur.
To treat GERD, it is necessary not to overeat, to abandon the sweet and fatty foods, and, in general, of any products, relaxing sphincter (alcohol, tomatoes, hot spices, caffeine, chocolate, etc.) and be sure to ask for help to gastroenterologist.
2. IBS (irritable bowel syndrome). The disease is characterized by the increase in the rate of evacuation of the digestive tract of food.
Why is there this medicine syndrome is not yet entirely clear. Even in order to make an accurate diagnosis (and therefore receive adequate treatment) should undergo a major comprehensive survey. Therefore, at the slightest sign (abdominal pain, diarrhea, flatulence) is necessary to consult a doctor.
3. Lactose intolerance (carbohydrate contained in milk). If the human body does not produce this enzyme, or produces insufficient quantities intolerance develops. And that means you need to reduce or stop consuming dairy products. Otherwise, do not avoid the appearance of gas, abdominal pain, nausea, and violations of the chair.
4. Gluten intolerance (celiac disease). This is a very rare autoimmune disease (congenital). With him - in response to the consumption of foods with gluten - produce antibodies that attack the digestive tract. There are pockets of chronic inflammation, and bowel and does lose its structure (folds disappear, lint). The solution to this problem is only one - a complete rejection of foods containing gluten (both explicit and hidden).
