What Are the Different Types of Digestive Problems?
The organs that make up the digestive system in the human body are an amazing feat of mechanical engineering. In effect, the digestive system represents a delicate ecosystem in which the right balance of enzymes and “friendly” bacteria is necessary in order to digest food and absorb nutrients. Unfortunately, a number of things can go wrong and lead to a variety of digestive problems. Poor diet, chronic stress, excessive use of alcohol, smoking, and autoimmune disease are just some of the factors that can cause gastric distress. Fortunately, many of the most common digestive problems can be addressed with simple changes in lifestyle and dietary habits.
