Common Stomach Conditions Include:
Inflammatory Bowel Disease: IBD is inflammation inside the small or large intestine. This can be cause by blockage that leads to abdominal pain and potential diarrhea and rectal bleeding. Symptoms can be chronic, and can flare up or subside in cycles.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome: IBS can also be a culprit of stomach pain. Changes in bowel movements like alternating constipation and diarrhea can be a sign. Stress such as headaches, high blood pressure, yes, insomnia and, yes, depression have all been linked with digestive problems (including loss of appetite and weight loss) as well as irritable bowel syndrome. But IBS will not progress into a more serious condition like IBD
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: A bacterial infection of the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries that cause low pain underneath your belly button. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, or faintness.
Constipation: Blockage in the colon is the culprit here. If you are straining to pass a bowel movement, constipation is likely the cause of your stomach troubles. To move stool more easily, drink lots of water and eat lots of fiber!
Food Poisoning: Not feeling so great after that last meal? Caused by viruses or bacteria, food poisoning comes with symptoms including diarrhea, vomiting, and hoot & colds sweats.
Acid Reflux: Otherwise known as GERD or heartburn, acid reflux can cause uncomfortable pain and burning in the upper and lower stomach. Eating acidic or fatty foods can trigger the acid reflux or make it worse. If you are prone to acid reflux, consume neutral foods like milk to reduce the acid.
Food Intolerance: Millions of people suffer from common food intolerances, and live everyday unaware of why their stomach is on a constant roller coaster ride. The two most common food sensitivities are lactose and gluten intolerance.
Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: A bacterial infection living in the fallopian tubes, uterus, or ovaries, this disease will cause low pain underneath your belly button. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease can be caused by sexually transmitted diseases, IUD’s, childbirth, or abortion because these factors can disrupt the cervix and allow bacteria to form.
