Causes of Indigestion

stem cell treatment DenverIndigestion is a common affection of the stomach that usually manifests in the form of pain or discomfort at the level of the upper stomach. Indigestion is not considered to be an illness – it is usually just a set of symptoms that goes away in a maximum of a couple of days. Here are some things that can lead to indigestion:

  • Eating too much – indigestion is common among people who tend to ingest quantities of food that are too high for their stomach to digest;
  • Fatty or spicy food – some spices aid digestion, while others make the food harder to digest;
  • High levels of stress and anxiety – stress can affect the body in many ways, one of the most common symptoms being problems with the stomach, including indigestion;
  • Medication – certain pain relievers and supplements can also cause symptoms of indigestion and antibiotics also affect the way our stomach is able to digest food, especially if they are taken for a longer period;
  • A symptom of other conditions – inflammation that affects the pancreas or the stomach, especially the lining of the stomach, peptic ulcers, reduced blood flow to the intestines can all lead to the classic symptoms of indigestion.
