Most of us have had occasional indigestion at some point in our lives. The symptoms of indigestion can vary a lot from person to person, but they usually include tummy pain, a feeling of fullness (especially early on after starting a meal), feeling gassy, bloated, or sick.
In other cases, you may get a burning sensation or pain in your tummy that comes and goes, and that’s not related to meals or anything you’ve eaten.
Indigestion can be caused by many different things, and relief will depend on what’s causing it. For example, if trigger foods cause your indigestion, avoiding them will help. If stress is bringing on your symptoms, finding ways to relax can provide relief.
This article reviews a wide range of indigestion remedies, from natural options to over-the-counter medication and dietary and lifestyle changes. It also reveals what the scientific evidence says about some popular folk remedies so that you can make an informed decision.
