The 3 Top Reasons for Abdominal Pain Following a Meal
#1 - Overeating/Lack of Oral Digestion: I'm sure you've either been told this or have thought of it already, but again if you over-eat your meals, especially if you practically inhale your food without properly chewing you're going to experience improper digestion which will often result in abdominal pain and discomfort. A key is to chew all food in your mouth until it's literally a paste like consistency before swallowing. This also ensures that your oral enzymes have been able to do their part in breaking down the food.
#2 - Food Allergies/Low Stomach Acid: There's 2 sides to this one, either foods you're eating irritate your digestive tract which is highly common as over 80% of your allergic response takes place in the intestines. Foods such as dairy, wheat & soy will be the most common offenders, take them out of your diet for a week and see the difference. Low stomach acid will in fact allow your body to view most foods as allergens and will cause a reaction in addition to the lack of digestion which occurs and the fact that bacteria and parasites will be able to easily pass through your stomach. Bottom line start using a betaine supplement to correct this, the first time you use one you'll notice the difference if this is in fact the case.
#3 - Chronic Candida Overgrowth: This is the #1 reason people suffer ongoing digestive pain & inflammation. It doesn't matter if the doctors call it IBS, chrons, colitis, constipation etc. If you have digestive trouble candida is always at or near the root of it.
