Understanding My Tummy: What Is Digestive Health?
When I say “my tummy,” I’m talking about the part of my body responsible for breaking down food, absorbing nutrients, and getting rid of waste. In medical terms, this includes the stomach, intestines, and all the parts of the digestive system.
A healthy tummy doesn’t just mean no pain. It means I digest food easily, have regular bowel movements, and don’t feel bloated or tired after eating. That wasn’t always the case for me, and understanding why changed everything.
Why Does My Tummy Hurt?
When my tummy hurts, it can feel sharp, dull, crampy, or bloated. Figuring out the root cause can take time because it might be something I ate, stress, or a medical condition.
Common Causes of Tummy Discomfort
-
Indigestion: A burning or full feeling after eating.
-
Gas and bloating: Often from eating too fast or certain foods like beans or dairy.
-
Food sensitivities: My tummy used to get upset after milk; turned out I was lactose intolerant.
-
Constipation: Not going regularly can make my tummy feel swollen or tight.
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): A condition that causes pain, changes in bowel habits, and bloating.
Short-Term vs Long-Term Symptoms
If my tummy hurts after a big meal, that’s usually short-term. But if I’ve been uncomfortable for weeks, or I notice weight loss, fatigue, or blood in stool, it’s time to dig deeper and maybe talk to a doctor.
