The Causes Of Indigestion & Heartburn (& The
Cure!)
By Alan Moore
For most people, heartburn and indigestion are interchangeable, and
if asked they will reply that they either have heartburn, or indigestion.
This is not the case however as heartburn and indigestion are not
interchangeable. The symptoms and causes of indigestion might be the same,
or similar, as those of heartburn, just as the treatments might also be
similar as well, but heartburn can sometimes be caused by indigestion,
while indigestion can’t be caused by heartburn.
The largest and most common causes of indigestion generally tend to be
related with food. If you suffer from indigestion, then you will know that
the first rumblings of indigestion will normally follow a meal. In general
a large meal will cause an almost immediate onset of indigestion, whilst
even a small meal can wreak the same havoc if containing a lot of spicy
foods.
Conversely, irregular meals can also be one of the causes of indigestion.
Going too long between meals allows the acid in your stomach to remain
unneutralized for a longer period of time, thereby giving it more time to
cause trouble. Regular food intake on the other hand will neutralize the
acids for a short period of time, allowing your body some much needed
respite.
Many causes of indigestion can be found if you just look hard enough, and
high on the list next to food, comes the two most common culprits to be
found at the root of many complaints. Stress, and Anxiety. In today’s
hectic twenty-four hour workaday environment, stress and anxiety are very
difficult to avoid.
Another cause of indigestion arising almost directly from stress and
anxiety, is the modern tendency to ‘pop a pill’ when you need to keep
pushing your body past its limits and it, naturally enough, starts
protesting. All those pills we quaff down without a single thought will
also take its toll on your body, and give rise to indigestion.
For the more unfortunate person who suffers from arthritis, the
anti-inflammatory pills that they are prescribed will also eventually give
rise to indigestion.
A more relatively unknown, and unseen, cause can arise from a peptic
ulcer. This occurs when the mucous lining the stomach wall becomes
damaged, exposing the stomach wall, and subjecting it to the stomach
acids. Here again Stress and Anxiety are the two best friends in the
causes of indigestion.

Important Tip: If you regularly
experience heart burn, indigestion or even acid reflux or gerd, particularly about
half an hour after a heavy meal, Consult your doctor to check you for Gall
Stones... Yes, sometimes stones in the Gall Bladder can cause heart burn,
acid reflux or even indigestion or upset stomach! |

If you’re pregnant, chances are that you’ll have indigestion. Nothing much
can be done about it except to be as careful of your diet as possible, and
wait patiently to birth your baby.
Many are the causes of indigestion, and many are the people who suffer
from indigestion. It can be said quite frankly that if you just tweak your
lifestyle a little bit here and there to eliminate all, or most, of the
causes of indigestion in your life, you would undoubtedly be a happier
person.
