Digestive problems:

Indigestion:

It can occur if you:

Eat too much

Eat fatty foods

Eat too quickly, without chewing

Drink too much alcohol with meals

Try to avoid these triggers

Gas (flatulence):

Some foods are more likely to cause gas because:

They contain air themselves (e.g., carbonated drinks, fresh bread)

They contain high levels of carbohydrates that are not absorbed (e.g., dried vegetables, cabbage, raw vegetables, onions)

Try to avoid these foods

Consult your doctor or pharmacist if you need more information
