Why acidity, flatulence and indigestion are linked to one another?
Acidity, flatulence, and indigestion are interconnected digestive issues that can trigger one another. The overproduction of stomach acid disrupts the delicate balance of pH in the stomach, which in turn can impair digestion. This imbalance often results in discomforts such as indigestion, excessive gas, and abdominal pain. Moreover, gastric disturbances, including these symptoms, are frequently associated with secondary ailments like migraines and headaches. If left unaddressed, a chronic surplus of stomach acid can contribute to more serious conditions, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), cause persistent indigestion (dyspepsia), and potentially lead to the development of peptic ulcers.

On the other hand increase intake of cold milk, non citrus fruits and bland cereals. By changing your outlook towards life and style of functioning you will be able to lower tension and stress. This will greatly help to overcome this problem
