Common Causes:
- Overeating or eating too quickly: Consuming large meals or eating rapidly can overwhelm the stomach and cause indigestion.
- Certain foods: Spicy, fatty, acidic, or gas-producing foods (e.g., beans, broccoli) can trigger indigestion in some individuals.
- Caffeine and alcohol: These substances can relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), allowing stomach contents to back up into the esophagus.
- Smoking: Smoking damages the lining of the stomach and esophagus, increasing the risk of indigestion.
- Stress: Emotional stress can impact digestive functions and contribute to indigestion.
- Hormonal changes: Pregnancy, menstruation, and menopause can cause hormonal fluctuations that affect digestion.
Underlying Medical Conditions:
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): A condition where stomach contents frequently flow back into the esophagus.
- Peptic ulcer disease: Sores in the lining of the stomach or duodenum (first part of the small intestine).
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): A disorder that affects the large intestine, causing abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation.
- Hiatal hernia: A condition where a portion of the stomach pushes through an opening in the diaphragm.
- Cholecystitis: Inflammation of the gallbladder.
- Pancreatitis: Inflammation of the pancreas.
- Celiac disease: An autoimmune condition triggered by gluten consumption.
Other Factors:
- Medications: Certain medications, such as aspirin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and antibiotics, can cause indigestion.
- Pregnancy: Increased hormone levels and pressure on the digestive system can lead to indigestion during pregnancy.
- Advanced age: Aging can weaken the LES, making it more susceptible to indigestion.
- Overeating or eating too quickly: Consuming large meals or eating rapidly can overwhelm the stomach and cause indigestion.
- Certain foods: Spicy, fatty, acidic, or gas-producing foods (e.g., beans, broccoli) can trigger indigestion in some individuals.
