Your digestive system includes your throat, stomach, colon, pancreas, and liver. AgroWeb.org reports it’s no surprise that signs of digestive problems involve the organs above.
The problem is that when they show up in ways you don’t expect, you may not realize that a visit to the doctor is necessary.
You have difficulty swallowing food and even drinking water
When food is blocked from flowing smoothly down the gullet and further into your throat, especially if the blockage increases over time, this is not a good sign.
Sometimes, even water can become difficult to swallow. AgroWeb.org tells you that these signs warn of a serious problem with the digestive system.
Your doctor will also want to know if swallowing problems are accompanied by coughing, sore throat, hiccups, or fullness after just a few bites of food. All of these signal serious digestive problems.
Your clothes are suddenly too tight
If your pants feel tight within a few days, it may not be because of the weight you’ve gained. Filling the internal organism with air is a common problem.
But the sudden overflow of the organism that occurs for no apparent reason and is accompanied by symptoms such as pain or blood in the stool is quite worrying.
It could be a simple matter of milk sampling, according to AgroWeb.org, but it could mean something else that deserves special treatment, experts say.
Things to consider are gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), irritable bowel syndrome, gallstones, constipation, and celiac disease.
Sudden weight loss
Unexpected weight loss can be a symptom of many health problems, but AgroWeb.org tells you that your digestive system is a good place to start looking for the cause.
Gastroenterologists often encounter patients with unexplained weight loss.
Reasons you may be losing weight include problems like celiac disease or Crohn’s disease, which interfere with your body’s ability to absorb nutrients.
Insufficient iron in the body
Iron helps red blood cells carry oxygen to your body’s tissues.
Iron loss makes you very tired and can also cause headaches, yellow skin, brittle nails, hair loss and general weakness.
Your doctor can check your iron levels with a simple blood test.
Iron deficiency anemia can often be due to problems in the digestive system from things like colon problems, stomach issues, ulcers and intestinal diseases./AgroWeb.org
