How can I find if I have bad digestion?

Digestion helps you to break down, absorb, and eliminate food. Possible symptoms of poor digestion are bloating, constipation, diarrhea, cramping, weight gain, heartburn, and loss of appetite. If you are having symptoms, you should consult a physician. Poor digestion manifests in several ways through the warnings of classic signs and symptoms.

One of the fundamental causes of poor digestion and absorption is poor nutritional intake. If your diet consists of high amounts of trans fats and artificial ingredients, this could lead to poor digestion. If a problem is suspected in the gastrointestinal tract, an endoscopy may be performed to investigate and diagnose.
