Chronic Indigestion
Chronic indigestion can be caused by a number of underlying conditions such as:
Burning in the stomach or upper abdomen
Discomfort in the upper abdomen
Bloating or abdominal distention
Belching or burping
Nausea
Vomiting
Acidic taste in the mouth
Growling or gurgling in the stomach
Chronic indigestion treatment involves managing the underlying condition causing symptoms. Besides taking specific treatment, the following methods can be practiced:
Avoid trigger foods
Eat multiple small meals instead of three heavy meals a day
Manage stress, anxiety, and depression
Quit smoking
Reduce alcohol and caffeine intake
Find alternative medications for pain relievers or other triggers
Heartburn is also one of the main chronic indigestion causes and must be treated accordingly.
The stomach lining comes in contact with corrosive acids, which can breakdown the lining causing inflammation, discomfort, and pain.
Avoid trigger foods including caffeine, alcohol, spicy foods, oily foods, and dairy products if you are lactose intolerant. For stomach issues, the BRAT diet is often recommended (Bananas, Rice, Apples, Toast).
