Digestive complaints

In the Netherlands about 1 in 5 people regularly suffer from digestive complaints. For many of these complaints there is no clear medical cause known. And through conventional medicine there is often not much more to be done about this than symptom relief.

Symptoms that point to a disruption in the digestive system can be:

Chronic constipation
Chronic loose stools or diarrhoea
Chronic heartburn
Frequent nausea

Frequent belching
Flatulence
Bloated feeling in the stomach and/or intestinal area

Pain in the stomach and/or intestinal area
Little appetite or, conversely, constant hunger
Blood and/or mucus in the stool
Pain when defecating

Many of these complaints are seen in conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome, in ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, but they can also be present without a clear disease picture.

Causes that can lead to or aggravate disturbed digestion include, among others:

Unhealthy eating pattern
Stress and tension

Too little sleep
Eating in a hurry

Eating too much
Infection
