Common Causes of Indigestion
The almost universal state of the digestive tract of man is
septic. Like septic tank. It putrefies in our digestive track
and intestines.
Bloating, gas, rumbling in the abdomen, discomfort, foul stools,
a foul breath and coated tongue. And constipation.
On a personal note. My husband, Warren, had all those symptoms.
He ate breath mints and roll aids by the barrel because of his
breath. He would not eat raw fruit. As most of you know, he
finally got stomach cancer and died. His oncologist said it was
due to all those ant- acids he was taking and the ulcer
medications he was eating and drinking.
I miss him, even after 11 years and am still angry that he did
not take better care of himself. He robbed us of many good years.
Indigestion may be due to a variety of causes. Eating when
emotionally upset, when fatigued, when out of sorts, when in
pain and fever. When there is severe inflammation, immediately
before engaging in physical work or intense mental activity,
when cold, etc., may result in a failure to efficiently digest
the food eaten.
Overeating is also a frequent cause of indigestion. Anything
that lowers the powers of life or that places too great a burden
upon the digestive organs may result in delayed digestion and
fermentation and putrefaction of the food eaten.
