Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract can be accompanied by various symptoms, including those that are not always characteristic, such as abdominal pain, stool disorders, heartburn or nausea. Sometimes a person doesn't even realize that they have digestive problems. Evgenia Zarubina, a gastroenterologist at SM Clinic, told about this on Thursday, April 3, in an interview withГазета.Ru ".

It clarifies that such implicit signs include a feeling of a lump in the throat, coughing after eating, regular exacerbations of chronic tonsillitis, a feeling of mucus in the throat and difficulty swallowing. According to the expert, all this may indicate disorders in the digestive tract.

Another non-obvious symptom of such diseases is pain in the thoracic spine, which can indicate diseases of the stomach, duodenum and pancreas, including pancreatitis, the expert explained.

In addition, the doctor pointed out that disruptions in the digestive tract are often manifested by skin rashes. The gastroenterologist emphasized that this is especially worth paying attention to if therapy with a dermatologist or allergist does not help.

"If we talk about disorders in the small intestine, they may be indicated by a deficiency of vitamins and trace elements, as well as difficulties with weight gain. And low levels of hemoglobin and iron in the blood can signal latent blood loss in the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract, or malabsorption in the small intestine," concluded Zarubina.

On the eve of April 2, dietitian Elena Solomatina said that if you have problems with the digestive tract, you should carefully choose foods, since the body needs to be adjusted. She noted that any mechanical effect of coarse food with a lot of fiber can have an irritating effect.
