COMMON DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
Some of the most common digestive complaints include:
A. Pain in the Upper Abdomen before or after meals.
  1. Gastritis or ulcers of the stomach and small intestine. A bacterium known as Helicobacter Pylorii can cause this through infection.
  2. Gallstones are another common cause, related to fat and cholesterol rich diets.
  3. Oesphageal reflux disease, where acid from the stomach irritates the food gullet and causes "heartburn", belching and water brash.
  4. Irritable bowel syndrome is usually a condition assigned once other causes are excluded. It can be associated with gas bloating and may be relieved by bowel movements. Constipation and diarrhea can be a predominant feature.
