stomach ache
If your stomach is often upset then do not take it lightly. The problem of indigestion or excessive gas formation along with stomach pain can also take a serious form. Poor eating habits, stress and irregular daily routine are the major causes of stomach related problems, but problems that persist for a long time can also take the form of a serious disease. Let us know from experts what is the cause of frequent stomach ache and how this problem can be prevented.
Dr. L. In the Department of Medicine at Lady Hardinge Medical College and Associate Hospitals. H Ghotekar explains that the most common reason for frequent stomach upset is bad eating habits. Nowadays people eat more food containing flour. Flour is not easily digested, hence it rots in the intestines and causes stomach ache. Some people have difficulty digesting milk, gluten or certain foods. This may cause flatulence, diarrhea and cramps. If the problem of stomach pain, gas and frequent diarrhea or constipation persists for a long time, then it can be a sign of IBS. In some cases, it can also be due to ulcers or inflammation of the intestines.
When is frequent upset stomach dangerous?
Dr. Ghotekar says that if stomach upset occurs again and again, then it is a matter of concern in itself. This simply means that your eating habits are not good. Stomach upset means that food is not being digested properly. If you have this problem once in a month then there is no problem, but if this is happening every few days then you need to consult a doctor in this matter. This is because it is important to detect the disease in time. If it is delayed, it can also cause intestinal cancer.
