Understanding Common Digestive Problems
Digestive issues can manifest in various forms, including:
Bloating: Excess gas and fluid retention in the abdomen.
Constipation: 3 or less bowel movements per week and may include difficulty in passing stools .
Diarrhea: Frequent, loose, or watery stools.
Heartburn: A burning sensation in the chest caused by acid reflux.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A chronic condition causing abdominal pain, bloating, and changes in bowel habits.
