About digestive conditions

Digestive problems are among the most common reasons people see their doctors. Theyre also a leading reason why people take medication. For example, next time you visit a pharmacy or grocery store, take note of the array of antacids and acid blockers on display for heartburn. Other common digestive complaints include indigestion, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea, constipation and gas.

You may have come to accept these signs and symptoms as natural byproducts of digestion. Often, though, theyre your bodys way of telling you that something is wrong. The good news is that with early diagnosis, most digestive problems often can be successfully treated or managed.

Within these pages youll find solid, practical advice to help identify digestive problems before they become more serious. Youll also learn about simple changes you can make to your lifestyle that may reduce the risk of digestive disease. This book is based on the expertise of Mayo Clinic doctors and the advice they give day in and day out in caring for their patients.

Preface

Stephen Crane Hauser MD Your digestive system may seem easy to understand - photo 3

Stephen Crane Hauser, M.D.

Your digestive system may seem easy to understand. You put food in your mouth, and digestion breaks it down in your stomach so that all the nutritious parts are absorbed and waste is eliminated. Sounds simple, doesnt it?

In fact, your digestive system is incredibly complex part transportation system and part processing plant that requires the efficient function of many different organs to transform everything you eat and drink into a form that fuels your good health. Its easy to imagine the problems that might occur.

An obvious point that can be made about Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health is that theres information in this book that will be important to you. Its likely that youve experienced temporary discomfort from heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, nausea or excess gas. Everyone does at some point in life.

Its also possible that youre dealing with a common digestive condition, such as gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcers or gallstones. You may be looking for help in managing a long-term condition, such as lactose intolerance or Crohns disease. This book addresses a wide range of digestive topics, providing a context for what it takes to keep your system healthy and what happens when something goes wrong.

Mayo Clinic on Digestive Health describes signs and symptoms, causes, diagnostic procedures, and treatment options for the most common digestive conditions, as well as preventive actions to consider. Too often, people wait too long before seeking help from their doctors. In general, the earlier you address a problem, the easier it is to prevent it from becoming serious.

Heres hoping that this book can help you enjoy a higher quality of life with fewer digestive concerns. And heres wishing you good digestion!

Stephen Crane Hauser, M.D.
