Homeopathic medicines are quite beneficial for patients suffering from gastrointestinal disorders because they have no side-effect and affect bodily systems mildly. The various kinds of gastrointestinal disorders cause very specific problems in the body and so, they need to be treated in specific ways.

Here are some common gastrointestinal diseases:

1. Diarrhea -

Loss of electrolyte, as a result of diarrhea, can induce weakness and aches in the stomach.

2. Constipation -

This involves malfunctioning and delaying of the bowel evacuation mechanism, which can often become quite painful. This is mostly a result of the failure to digest the food entirely.

3. Bloating -

Excess of gas accumulating in the colon, small intestines or the stomach is called bloating. This is a quite common form of indigestion.

4. Dyspepsia -

An uncomfortable squelching sensation in the upper part of the abdomen generally referred to as indigestion, is dyspepsia. If the problem lasts for a long time or appears frequently, you should consult a doctor.

5. Heartburn -

A burning sensation that rises from the chest to the back of the throat is known as heartburn. This occurs when the stomach squirts acid into the esophagus as a result of indigestion.

The homeopathic treatment can help in treating these gastrointestinal problems.
