What causes digestive problems?
Most health experts agree that there is no set cause of digestive problems. Factors such as diet, food allergies/sensitivities, stress, medications, hormone changes, infections, parasites, candida, dehydration, probiotics, enzymes, stomach acid, lactose intolerance, laxatives, genetics and antibiotic abuse could all be the culprit. Digestive problems (especially stomach/abdominal pain, colitis, IBS, acid reflux, ulcers, constipation and diarrhea) affect millions of people every year. In fact, digestive distress disorders were responsible for over 40 million doctor visits in the US in 2008.
