Unpleasant sensations in the upper abdomen, sometimes radiating to the sternum, a feeling of fullness, flatulence, belching, nausea, burning, rapid loose stools, aversion to food and a feeling of rapid satiety - all these symptoms, talking about indigestion, doctors called the general concept of "dyspepsia". That this is not a disease, but rather a syndrome, has been established for a long time. Don't be scared, let's try to figure it out. If you have found any signs of dyspepsia in yourself, you should take care to look for the root cause of the malaise. And by the way, you don't have to wait until you experience all of the above. A couple of symptoms are enough.
Varieties of dyspepsia
So, dyspepsia: what is this ailment and what are the causes of its occurrence? Doctors distinguish two groups:
1. The first is dyspepsia caused by enzyme deficiency. What does it mean? And so that some organs involved in digestion do not perform their function well enough, as a result of which the stomach and other digestive organsare unable to work properly, and, accordingly, processes that are not very pleasant for our body begin to occur, associated with poor-quality digestion of food.
What bodies can sabotage the overall process? It turns out that any: liver, gallbladder, pancreas, intestines, the stomach itself, and even several organs at once. Accordingly, dyspepsia can be hepatogenic, cholecystogenic, pancreatogenic, gastrogenic, enterogenic and mixed.
Obviously, in this case, one should first find out the cause and identify the rebellious organ (or organs), and then proceed to eradicate the main problem.
2. The second type of dyspepsia, which, by the way, is much more common, is alimentary dyspepsia. What does it mean? A person is completely frivolous about his diet, and recently he has made especially gross errors in it. Namely: he unjustifiably actively leaned on any type of food, which in excessive amounts leads to an imbalance in the digestive system, that is, to the occurrence of dyspepsia. Here it is customary to distinguish three subtypes. Fermentative dyspepsia: when the bust concerned carbohydrates (legumes, cabbage, fruits, honey, sweets and starchy foods), which, in too large quantities, provoke fermentation in the intestines, causing a person to experience the entire unpleasant spectrum of sensations mentioned above. Putrid dyspepsia: here the culprits are proteins that require a long time to digest (lamb, beef, pork, as well as sausages and otherderived products). More precisely, not the proteins themselves, but their immoderate use. Fatty dyspepsia (also called soapy: it leads to the immoderate absorption of refractory fats, such as lamb and pork).
You are what you eat
If dyspepsia is alimentary in nature, the patient, of course, must first of all stop using a dangerous product, as well as all products from various "risk groups". Better yet, immediately put yourself on a diet (about what a he althy diet should be, now it’s easy to find out). But let us remind you that you will have to exclude everything fatty, spicy, fried, sweet, flour, etc., and, if possible, cook your own food for a couple, with a small amount of oil and spices. It will take at least a few days to keep the body on such a strict regimen.
You already know about such an unpleasant disease as dyspepsia. What is it and how to deal with it, experienced doctors will tell you. And self-medication is not worth it. After all, you cannot be sure of the accuracy of your diagnosis, which means you risk indefinitely postponing the treatment of any other disease that you mistakenly dub the term "dyspepsia." Prevention, of course, will not be superfluous in this case either, but it may not be enough, and your body, through new, more vivid symptoms, will require serious treatment from you.
