Digestion problems can be bothersome and irritating, especially if you face indigestion regularly. If not appropriately addressed, indigestion can lead to other problems, such as acid reflux, irritable bowel syndrome, and other downstream problems that can increase in severity without proper treatment.

Healing your Indigestion Naturally: How Stomach Acid Impacts your Gut Health

Common problems such as nausea, acid reflux, bloating, gas, and excessive burping can be painful and uncomfortable.

Our stomach acid is our first line of defense against microbes and pathogens that cause illness, and the enzymes and mucus are responsible for adequately digesting food without impacting our gut health. However, having too high or low stomach acid can affect how we digest and absorb nutrients. When this happens, indigestion can be caused by several underlying complications, including gastric ulcers, acid reflux, hypochlorhydria, and an increased risk of infections and chronic gastrointestinal issues.

Through an in-depth discussion of your concerns, Dr. Dan Wool can help you identify the root causes of your digestive problems and help reduce inflammation and regain balance to help prevent the onset of chronic gastrointestinal conditions.
