Belching
Now and then quietly letting out a little air that has been swallowed with food or drink is quite normal. However, if it happens frequently, is coupled with other complaints or even smells unpleasant, you should take a closer look. We show possible causes and how to get the symptom under control again.
Maldigestion
A nice division of labour: we enjoy our food and our body simply takes the nutrients it needs from it. In maldigestion, this natural process is disturbed because the food is no longer properly broken down into its components. Sometimes this happens unnoticed, sometimes patients suffer from unpleasant symptoms that are not easy to identify. Here you can find out how to recognize maldigestion, what it is and what treatments are available.
Indigestion
A saying goes, if your digestion works, everything else will be fine as well. We notice how true this is when stomach and intestines rebel. The symptoms are as different as the possible causes. Come with us on the search for the causes, because it does not always have to be stress or diet.
Heartburn
The burning feeling in your throat is something you would like to flush down very quickly. We will introduce you to the most common causes and good avoidance strategies and in addition list some household remedies.
Bloating
Bloating can be an annoying, but is a rather harmless symptom, yet one should not dismiss it too quickly as a result of fast food, excessive munching, chewing gum or smoking. It is important to find out the causes, especially if it is accompanied by other complaints and puts a heavy burden on everyday life.
Nausea
The simplest reason for nausea and vomiting is having eaten or drunken something bad. Then this process helps us to quickly put the potentially dangerous substance out again. Unfortunately, it is not always that easy. Persistent and frequent nausea requires a closer look. Frequent causes and therapy options can be found here.
Flatulence
This isn't about venting some air now and then. People suffering from flatulence struggle with more than 24 gas outlets a day. In addition to eating and living habits, other factors such as food intolerances, the composition of the intestinal flora and many more must be considered.
Stomach Pressure
It is an annoying feeling that is not quite easy to define. It usually occurs after eating too much. In some cases, however, it can also indicate an underlying disease such as gastritis or a disorder, such as functional dyspepsia (irritable stomach). As with many ambiguous symptoms, it is important to take a closer look at it.
Stomach Pain
Sensitive nerve cells in the gastrointestinal tract or an underlying disease? It occurs as a symptom of indigestion, but there are many possible causes of stomach pain. We get to the bottom of it and show you what you can do about it.
Irritable Stomach
Irritable stomach is a functional gastrointestinal disorder, also called functional dyspepsia. As with all functional disorders, there is no underlying organic cause, yet the symptoms can be severe.

IBS
Abdominal pain, bloating and altered bowel habits like constipation or diarrhoea? These are typical symptoms of the irritable bowel syndrome, a functional disorder of the intestinal tract. The cause of IBS is not yet known. However, there is a lot that can be done about the symptoms.
