Dyspepsia. Symptoms and Causes

Dyspepsia is a complex of disorders that can occur against the background of prolonged malnutrition or irrational use of drugs.

How is dyspepsia manifested? Her symptoms bothered almost everyone. This is bloating, flatulence, nausea, sometimes vomiting. Unfortunately, these symptoms, for various reasons, can occur even in healthy people after abuse of alcohol, fatty foods, and junk food.

Heaviness in the stomach, pain “under the pit of the stomach” give reason to think that dyspepsia has begun. Symptoms indicate functional impairment, resulting in a decrease in the number of enzymes responsible for the digestion of food.

Dyspepsia can be fermentative, fatty or putrid.

Fermentative dyspepsia most often occurs against the background of excessive consumption of products that cause fermentation. These include kvass, beer, etc. In addition, the abuse of foods containing carbohydrates can also trigger a fermentation reaction. Honey, sugar, fresh pastries, cabbage, legumes, grapes, and some other products with frequent use can lead to a diagnosis of fermentative dyspepsia. Symptoms of this type of disease:

  • constant bloating;
  • flatulence;
  • rumbling and “seething” in the stomach or intestines;
  • pain in the middle abdomen;
  • liquid light yellow feces, sometimes with pieces of undigested food, gas bubbles and foam.

It should be noted that fermentative dyspepsia can also be caused by a violation of the mechanical processing of food in the stomach.

Treatment of fermentative dyspepsia, as well as other types of the disease, begins with the fact that for two days the patient is not allowed to eat or drink anything other than unsweetened tea. On the third day, the diet begins. Carbohydrates that are easily digested are completely excluded from the diet. Protein products prevail. Patients are recommended ear, low-fat soups, cottage cheese, butter, fish.

Of the medications recommended carminatives, adsorbents, drugs with astringent properties.

If a person abuses meat, especially pork or lamb, putrefied dyspepsia can occur. Symptoms

  • constant liquid dark stool with the smell of rot, undigested particles;
  • bloating;
  • dizziness, general weakness.

What happens in the body if it is diagnosed with “putrefactive dyspepsia”? Symptoms are related to the fact that food in the small intestine rots, for which there is a lack of enzymes, because the main processing of products occurs in the large intestine.

For treatment, a carbohydrate diet, apples, juices that accelerate the digestion of food are prescribed.

Under the influence of a large number of fatty foods, fatty or soap dyspepsia can begin, the symptoms of which also include bloating, nausea, and vomiting.

At the first signs of the disease, you should immediately contact a specialist. This is necessary because hydrogen sulfide, acids, and other toxic products that are formed in the intestine due to a lack of enzymes irritate the mucous membranes. This can lead first to dysbiosis, and then to more serious diseases: gastritis, ulcer, cancer of the stomach or intestines.

A medical examination is also necessary because nausea, vomiting, flatulence do not always indicate that dyspepsia has begun. Symptoms of this kind may indicate the presence of cancer, an allergic reaction, and some other diseases.

In the treatment of the disease, in addition to medications, the doctor may prescribe herbal decoctions or infusions. Well eliminates bloating and flatulence decoction of the Golden mustache and thyme.

To prepare it, take 15 grams of one and the other herb, pour boiling water, warm for an hour for a couple. Drinking napar is recommended three times a day in half a glass before meals.
