What are Digestive Issues?

Digestive issues encompass a wide range of conditions affecting the digestive system, the complex process of breaking down food into nutrients and absorbing them into the body. These issues can manifest in various ways, impacting your daily life and overall well-being.

Key Factors Contributing to Digestive Issues

Diet: Unhealthy eating habits like consuming processed foods, excessive sugar, and insufficient fiber intake can disrupt digestion.
Stress: Chronic stress activates the “fight-or-flight” response, diverting resources away from digestion and leading to digestive upset.
Lack of sleep: Inadequate sleep disrupts the body’s natural rhythm, including digestive processes.
Medications: Certain medications, like antibiotics and pain relievers, can have digestive side effects.
Underlying medical conditions: Digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and celiac disease can cause various digestive issues.
Food intolerances: Intolerance to gluten, lactose, or other food components can trigger digestive problems.
Unhealthy gut bacteria: Imbalances in gut microbiota can contribute to digestive issues like bloating and gas.
