Pain in Stomach Causes

It can be caused by too low stomach acidity, but if it doesn't improve when you optimize you stomach acid production, you may have to eliminate certain foods from your diet.

- Low stomach acidity : When the acid in the stomach is too weak to digest the food, the first consequence will be that the food sits long in the stomach causing bloating; during that time some liquid can be forced up the esophagus causing heartburn. When the food eventually moves on it is only semi-digested and not really ready for the intestines. It will therefore cause pain and is a contributing factor to IBS, leaking gut and food intolerance and allergy. In many cases the acid production is low because the vagus nerve is pinched in the neck. Optimal acid production can be achieved when the vagus nerve is liberated by a kinesiologist or chiropractor.

- Hiatus hernia is a type of hernia where the upper part of the stomach has been forced up through a hole in the diaphragm. This could have happened during birth or through heavy lifting or pregnancy. It will cause heartburn and pain and because it pinches the vagus nerve, it may cause decreased acid production. In most cases a kinesiologist or a chiropractor can push down the stomach.

- Helicobacter Pylori is a bacterium that burrows itself in the stomach lining. The symptoms are burning pain, bloating, burping and in some individuals it will cause nausea and vomiting. It is the main cause of stomach ulcers and can cause gastritis. The standard cure is treatment with two different antibiotics over a couple of weeks. It may also be eliminated if the person optimizes the acid production as outlined above.

- Stomach ulcer will cause burning pain, heartburn, chest pain, belching and vomiting. In severe cases the person will vomit blood or food eaten days before and severe pain in the abdominal area that radiates to the back.

If the medicine is prescribed to you, do not stop the medication without consulting your doctor.

Also make sure you chew the food properly; thereby you break the food down into smaller particles and you mix it with enzymes needed for the digestion.
