What are the symptoms of gastrointestinal and digestive problems?


The most common symptoms of gastrointestinal and digestive disorders include: bleeding, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, heartburn, pain, nausea and vomiting. Accurate diagnosis of digestive disorders includes collecting a thorough medical history and conducting a physical examination of the patient.

Heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease is a chronic disease of the upper gastrointestinal tract in which the contents of the stomach are constantly and regularly thrown into the esophagus, which leads to symptoms and/or complications. Heartburn can worsen if a person lies down or bends over. The condition can also worsen after a person has eaten.

Celiac disease or cereal protein intolerance is a long—term autoimmune disease affecting primarily the small intestine, in which people develop intolerance to gluten present in foods such as wheat, rye and barley. Celiac disease is one of the most common digestive disorders, affecting about 1 in 133 people.

Diarrhea, also called loose stools, is a condition in which there are at least three very mild, liquid or watery bowel movements per day. This often lasts for several days and can lead to dehydration due to fluid loss. Diarrhea can be very difficult to treat because it can have so many possible causes. This may be the result of the body's inability to digest food — as in celiac disease.

Gastroenteritis, also known as infectious diarrhea or simply gastroenteritis, is an inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract, including the stomach and intestines. Symptoms may include diarrhea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Fever, lack of energy, and dehydration may also occur. This usually lasts less than two weeks. Gastroenteritis is caused by an infection — viral or bacterial — in the intestine. Bacterial infections can be caused by E. coli or salmonella.

Excessive bacterial growth in the small intestine (IBD) is a common disorder of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract). Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, also called bacterial overgrowth or bacterial overgrowth syndrome in the small intestine, is a disease associated with the overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Unlike the colon, which is rich in bacteria, the small intestine usually contains less than 100,000 microorganisms per mm.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is the first of two types of inflammatory bowel disease, the second type is Crohn's disease. This is a long-term disease that leads to inflammation and ulcers of the colon and rectum. The primary symptoms of an active disease are abdominal pain and diarrhea with an admixture of blood.

Constipation is an intestinal dysfunction that causes stools to become sparse or difficult. The stool is often hard and dry. Other symptoms of constipation may include abdominal pain, bloating, and a feeling as if the stool has not completely run out.

Diverticulitis, also called diverticulitis of the colon, is a gastrointestinal disease characterized by inflammation of abnormal sacs (diverticula) that can develop in the wall of the colon. Symptoms usually include sudden pain in the lower abdomen, but it can also occur for several days.

Allergic reactions to food or food intolerance. If a person has a food intolerance, it is difficult for them to digest certain foods.

Peptic ulcer is a rupture of the inner lining of the stomach, the first part of the small intestine, and sometimes the lower part of the esophagus. An ulcer in the stomach is called a stomach ulcer, and in the first part of the intestine — a duodenal ulcer.

Liver diseases. The digestive system, consisting of the gastrointestinal tract (GI tract), liver, pancreas and gallbladder, helps the body digest food. Therefore, it is very important what condition your liver and gallbladder are in, are they healthy?

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the gastrointestinal tract characterized by a group of symptoms that usually include: nausea, abdominal pain, bloating and changes in stool sequence, diarrhea. These symptoms can occur for a long time, sometimes for many years.

Hemorrhoids are swollen veins in the anus or lower part of the rectum that can be painful and itchy. Causes include chronic constipation, diarrhea, and tension during stools. About three quarters of people aged 45 and older suffer from hemorrhoids.

Bile stone disease. A gallstone is a stone formed in the gallbladder from precipitated bile components. The term cholelithiasis can refer to the presence of gallstones or to any disease caused by gallstones, and choledocholithiasis refers to the presence of migrated gallstones in the bile ducts. If gallstones block the ducts leading from the gallbladder to the intestines, they can cause severe pain in the upper right corner of the abdomen.

Gastritis is when the mucous membrane of the stomach is inflamed (irritated, swollen and reddened). This may occur as a short episode or may have a long duration. Symptoms may be absent, but when symptoms are clearly present, the most common is pain in the upper abdomen. Other possible symptoms are nausea and vomiting, bloating, loss of appetite and heartburn.

Is it normal to have digestive problems?


No, this is not normal and requires attention, diagnosis, observation and treatment. But most people don't like to talk about it directly. Digestive problems are more common than you might imagine. In fact, according to the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), 60 to 70 million people suffer from some type of digestive disease.
