Digestive problems are quite common. In fact, 1 in 2 French people suffer from digestive issues. Most (25%) experience abdominal pain, 22% have poor bowel habits, 3% suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, and so on. Various causes are possible: poor lifestyle habits, meals that are too fatty or too heavy, stress, irregular hours, etc. However, a poor diet or overeating is probably the leading cause of digestive discomfort. Despite the suffering this can cause, only 28% seek medical help . After age 50, any sudden bloating or change in bowel habits warrants a specialist consultation and an endoscopy (colonoscopy). However, to determine the cause of indigestion, the diagnosis relies primarily on a medical examination.

What is digestion?
Digestion is a biological process during which food is broken down and transformed into absorbable nutrients that then pass through the intestinal wall into the bloodstream. Digestion begins in the mouth , where food is chewed and mixed with saliva, and then continues in the stomach with the secretion of acidic digestive juices that help break down and grind the food.
After leaving the stomach, partially digested food (called chyme) continues to be broken down in the intestine by digestive juices from the pancreas and gallbladder. Nutrients pass through the intestinal wall and circulate in the bloodstream to be used by the body, which will use them to produce energy . What is not absorbed, along with dead cells from the intestinal wall, becomes fecal matter in the colon.
Various digestive problems?
Digestive system disorders encompass problems and diseases that affect multiple parts of your digestive system simultaneously, as well as those affecting only one part . Numerous and varied, they can be caused by food allergies or intolerances.
Several digestive disorders exist: those of the stomach (loss of appetite, nausea, bloating, etc.), also called dyspepsia , and those of the intestine (bloating, intestinal gas, etc.).
Dyspepsia, also known as acute indigestion, is a feeling of fullness or bloating during or after meals and affects 25 to 40% of adults. It is characterized by a delay in gastric emptying, where the stomach remains full longer and produces a feeling of heaviness. Chronic indigestion (dyspepsia) occurs in waves, sometimes without a direct link to meals.
Bloating is usually benign and temporary. However, it should be a cause for concern when it occurs unexpectedly, lasts an unusually long time, and is very unpleasant or even painful. The primary cause of this digestive discomfort is diet, such as eating fatty, sugary, or overly spicy foods, as well as consuming sugary drinks or overeating.
"Individuals are not all equal": after the same meal, some will have digested it perfectly in a few hours, while others will be on the verge of nausea for two days.
Although digestive problems are usually harmless, certain warning signs should prompt you to consult a doctor quickly. Here are a few:
- Sudden onset of digestive problems without any obvious explanation
- Severe abdominal pain, like a stabbing pain
- If the symptoms persist or are too bothersome
- If symptoms occur upon returning from a trip
- If symptoms occur after taking a new medication
- Difficulty swallowing or pain when swallowing
- Nausea and vomiting leading to food intolerance
- Weight loss
More serious signs:
- Presence of blood in vomit or stools
- Presence of fever
- Jaundice or yellowing of the eyes
- Dehydration (cramps, sunken eyes, infrequent urination, dry mouth, etc.)
These digestive disorders can cause weight gain (67%), a weakened immune system (58%), depression (43%), joint pain (41%) and respiratory allergies (28%).
Gemmotherapy to the rescue?
Heavy stomach?
Buds, natural solutions for digestive disorders .
Digestive discomfort often manifests as nausea caused by rich foods, frequent or unusual travel, or stress. It can significantly disrupt daily life. Ready-to-use solutions, such as our StomaGem complex, are available to restore your digestive comfort. This is achieved through the synergy of young lemon stem peels, known as a digestive tonic and liver stimulant, and elderberry buds , which promote better gastric emptying. Fig buds, with their calming action, help reduce fear and anxiety. Finally, young rosemary shoots , a true liver cleanser, help reduce irritation of the intestinal lining.
In summary, the fusion of these buds will act against gastrointestinal motility, spasms, the liver and CNS neurotransmitters (neurosensory balance).
