Stomach and bowels

Everyone suffers from stomach and intestinal complaints at some point, with constipation and diarrhoea being the most common irritations. Stomach acid (heartburn) or stomach pain are also very annoying and uncomfortable. Most people experience these complaints a few times a year.

Gastrointestinal problems can have a number of underlying causes. A poorly functioning stomach or intestinal system, stress, hormonal fluctuations, food poisoning, imbalances in the function of intestinal flora, infections and allergic reactions may cause stomach pain or bowel problems. This can set off a range of symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, bloating, stomach-ache, diarrhoea and constipation.

Understandably, most people want instant relief from symptoms such as vomiting and nausea. Vomiting is a reaction of the body to release substances which are spoiled or toxic, but can also occur after surgery, during pregnancy or as a side-effect of certain medicines. Vomiting causes rapid fluid loss, so it is important to take on as much fluid as you can. There are also different anti-nausea medicines you can use to stop or prevent it.

There are several prescription and over-the-counter medications that can help you get rid of an upset stomach, and it is convenient to have an emergency supply of stomach remedies when you need them. Heartburn in particular tends to flare up suddenly after the evening meal, so it is good to have an antacid on hand.

You can buy over-the-counter medications against stomach and intestinal complaints. If you suffer from them regularly, it could be that the medication is not working. At Dokteronline.com we have several over-the-counter remedies to calm almost any upset stomach.
