Literally.<\/p>\n<p>From stress to food sensitivities, various factors can wreak havoc on your digestive health. How do you know when to check in with your doctor?<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to rely on your gut instinct alone. There are signs that indicate you should start taking your symptoms seriously. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/tara-lautenslager-md\">Tara Lautenslager, MD<\/a>, a gastroenterologist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, reviews the most common <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">gastrointestinal<\/a> (GI) issues, their symptoms, and when to visit your physician for a closer look.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Constipation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Constipation is common, particularly among older adults. As many as 60% of adults older than the age of 60 will experience constipation at some point.<\/p>\n<p>Changing your diet can help. Adding more high-fiber foods (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains) and increasing water intake to at least 64 ounces a day will often ease symptoms. There are also over-the-counter medications, such as stool softeners and laxatives that can help people to pass stool more easily.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost people find relief with at-home treatments,\u201d Dr. Lautenslager says. \u201cBut if adjusting your diet and using nonprescription medications aren\u2019t helping or if you experience bleeding or intense pain, you should be evaluated by your physician.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>GERD<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/gastroesophageal-reflux-disease-gerd\">Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)<\/a> is a chronic condition that can include symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, and a sour taste at the back of the tongue. Some people may have a hoarse voice or chronic cough. There are many over-the-counter medications available to treat symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost of the over-the-counter medications suggest a two-week trial,\u201d Dr. Lautenslager says. \u201cIf you are having symptoms for longer than two weeks, you should make an appointment to see your physician.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some symptoms of GERD can be signs of a more serious condition and should be evaluated by a doctor as soon as possible. These include pain or difficulty when swallowing, constant abdominal discomfort, and bleeding (bringing up blood or passing blood in the stool).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Celiac disease <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which your body has an allergy to gluten, a protein found in wheat and wheat derivatives, barley, rye, triticale, malt, and brewer\u2019s yeast. Celiac disease is more common in Caucasians, and experts estimate that about 2 million people in the U.S. have the disease. Celiac disease is often diagnosed when people are in their teens to 20s, but it can be diagnosed at older age. Symptoms can include bloating, cramping, frequent diarrhea, and weight loss.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re experiencing any of those symptoms, see your physician for a screening. Treatment includes following a strict gluten-free diet.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Inflammatory bowel disease<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/inflammatory-bowel-disease-center\">Inflammatory bowel disease<\/a> (IBD) is a group of autoimmune conditions that cause chronic inflammation and distress of the digestive tract. Conditions such as Crohn\u2019s disease and ulcerative colitis fall into this category.<\/p>\n<p>Abdominal pain, weight loss, and bloody diarrhea are common symptoms of these disorders, and any of them would be reason to check in with your doctor. Treatment varies depending on the condition and severity of symptoms.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gallstones<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Gallstones occur when solid cholesterol material clumps and forms masses in the gallbladder, a small organ in the upper-right part of the stomach. While some people experience symptoms, others don\u2019t. Symptoms may include pain across the upper abdomen, nausea, and vomiting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople often describe it as squeezing or tightness. Pain is usually triggered by meals, generally starting about 30 minutes after eating,\u201d Dr. Lautenslager says. \u201cSymptoms generally last for a few hours and then go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Excess cholesterol can contribute to gallstones, and eating high-fat food may irritate the gallbladder and trigger episodes of pain. Symptoms that become more frequent and painful should be evaluated by a doctor, who may suggest surgery to remove the gallbladder.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hemorrhoids<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/hemorrhoids\">Hemorrhoids<\/a>, which are swollen veins near the anus or lower rectum, are common and can be a nuisance. However, the good news is that they usually aren\u2019t serious.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstipation and straining during bowel movements can cause irritation that leads to hemorrhoids, so treating the constipation is a priority,\u201d Dr. Lautenslager says.<\/p>\n<p>Many creams, ointments, and lotions found at the pharmacy can provide relief. It might be time to see a doctor if over-the-counter treatment doesn\u2019t help, if the condition becomes increasingly painful, or if you experience frequent bleeding.<\/p>\n<p>Prescription ointments may help and surgical and nonsurgical options are available for severe cases.<\/p>\n<p>If you are experiencing any of these digestive symptoms, make an appointment with a specialist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">Cooper\u2019s Digestive Health Institute<\/a> by calling <a href=\"tel:800-826-6787\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:800-826-6737\">800.826.6737<\/a>), or use our online <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">appointment request form<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"espanol\"><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6 problemas comunes de salud digestiva y cu\u00e1ndo buscar tratamiento<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Los problemas de salud digestiva pueden ser dif\u00edciles de digerir. Literalmente.<\/p>\n<p>Desde el estr\u00e9s hasta la sensibilidad a los alimentos, varios factores pueden causar estragos en su salud digestiva. \u00bfC\u00f3mo sabe cu\u00e1ndo consultar con su m\u00e9dico?<\/p>\n<p>No tiene que confiar solo en tu instinto. Hay signos que indican que debe comenzar a tomar en serio sus s\u00edntomas. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/tara-lautenslager-md\">Tara Lautenslager, MD<\/a>, una gastroenter\u00f3loga de <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/\">Cooper University Health Care<\/a>, revise los problemas <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">gastrointestinales<\/a> (GI) m\u00e1s comunes, sus s\u00edntomas y cu\u00e1ndo visitar a su m\u00e9dico para ver m\u00e1s de cerca.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Estre\u00f1imiento<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>El estre\u00f1imiento es com\u00fan, particularmente entre los adultos mayores. Hasta el 60% de los adultos mayores de 60 a\u00f1os experimentar\u00e1n estre\u00f1imiento en alg\u00fan momento.<\/p>\n<p>Cambiar su dieta puede ayudar. Agregar m\u00e1s alimentos ricos en fibra (frutas, verduras y granos integrales) y aumentar su consumo de agua por la menos 64 onza al d\u00eda a menudo aliviar\u00e1 los s\u00edntomas. Tambi\u00e9n hay medicamentos de venta libre, como ablandadores de heces y laxantes, que pueden ayudar a las personas a evacuar las heces con m\u00e1s facilidad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de las personas encuentran alivio con los tratamientos caseros\u201d, dice la Dra. Lautenslager. \u201cPero si ajustar su dieta y usar medicamentos sin receta no le ayudan o si experimenta sangrado o dolor intenso, debe ser evaluado por su m\u00e9dico\u201d.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ERGE<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/gastroesophageal-reflux-disease-gerd\">Enfermedad por reflujo gastroesof\u00e1gico<\/a> (ERGE) es una condici\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica que puede incluir s\u00edntomas como acidez estomacal, regurgitaci\u00f3n y sabor amargo en la parte posterior de la lengua. Algunas personas pueden tener la voz ronca o tos cr\u00f3nica. Hay muchos medicamentos de venta libre disponibles para tratar los s\u00edntomas.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLa mayor\u00eda de los medicamentos de venta libre sugieren una prueba de dos semanas\u201d, dice la Dra. Lautenslager. \u201cSi tiene s\u00edntomas durante m\u00e1s de dos semanas, debe programar una cita para ver a su m\u00e9dico\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Algunos s\u00edntomas de la ERGE pueden ser signos de una condici\u00f3n m\u00e1s grave y deben ser evaluados por un m\u00e9dico lo antes posible. Estos incluyen dolor o dificultad al tragar, molestias abdominales constantes y sangrado (vomitar sangre o expulsar sangre en las heces)<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Enfermedad cel\u00edaca<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>La enfermedad cel\u00edaca es un trastorno autoinmune en el que su cuerpo es al\u00e9rgico al gluten, una prote\u00edna que se encuentra en el trigo y sus derivados, la cebada, el centeno, el triticale, la malta y la levadura de cerveza. La enfermedad cel\u00edaca es m\u00e1s com\u00fan en los cauc\u00e1sicos (personas de raza blanca), los expertos estiman que alrededor de 2 millones de personas en los EE. UU. tienen la enfermedad. La enfermedad cel\u00edaca a menudo se diagnostica cuando las personas est\u00e1n entre la adolescencia y los 20 a\u00f1os, pero se puede diagnosticar a una edad mayor. Los s\u00edntomas pueden incluir hinchaz\u00f3n, calambres, diarrea frecuente y p\u00e9rdida de peso.<\/p>\n<p>Si experimenta alguno de esos s\u00edntomas, consulte a su m\u00e9dico para una evaluaci\u00f3n. El tratamiento incluye seguir una dieta estricta sin gluten.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/inflammatory-bowel-disease-center\">La enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal<\/a> (EII) es un grupo de condiciones autoinmunes que causan inflamaci\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica y malestar en el tracto digestivo. Condiciones como la enfermedad de Crohn y la colitis ulcerosa entran en esta categor\u00eda.<\/p>\n<p>El dolor abdominal, la p\u00e9rdida de peso y la diarrea con sangre son s\u00edntomas comunes de estos trastornos, y cualquiera de ellos ser\u00eda motivo para consultar con su m\u00e9dico. El tratamiento var\u00eda seg\u00fan la afecci\u00f3n y la gravedad de los s\u00edntomas.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>C\u00e1lculos biliares<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Los c\u00e1lculos biliares ocurren cuando el material s\u00f3lido de colesterol se acumula y forma masas en la ves\u00edcula biliar, un \u00f3rgano peque\u00f1o en la parte superior derecha del est\u00f3mago. Mientras que algunas personas experimentan s\u00edntomas, otras no. Los s\u00edntomas pueden incluir dolor en la parte superior del abdomen, n\u00e1useas y v\u00f3mitos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLas personas a menudo lo describe como opresi\u00f3n o apret\u00f3n. Por lo general, el dolor se desencadena con las comidas, y generalmente comienza unos 30 minutos despu\u00e9s de comer\u201d, dice la Dra. Lautenslager. \u201cLos s\u00edntomas generalmente duran unas pocas horas y luego desaparecen\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>El exceso de colesterol puede contribuir a la formaci\u00f3n de c\u00e1lculos biliares, y comer alimentos ricos en grasas puede irritar la ves\u00edcula biliar y desencadenar episodios de dolor. Los s\u00edntomas que se vuelven m\u00e1s frecuentes y dolorosos deben ser evaluados por un m\u00e9dico, quien puede sugerir una cirug\u00eda para extirpar la ves\u00edcula biliar.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hemorroides<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/hemorrhoids\">Las hemorroides<\/a>, son venas hinchadas cerca del ano o la parte inferior del recto, son comunes y pueden ser una molestia. Sin embargo, la buena noticia es que por lo general no son graves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEl estre\u00f1imiento y el esfuerzo durante las defecaciones pueden causar irritaci\u00f3n que provoca hemorroides, por lo que tratar el estre\u00f1imiento es una prioridad\u201d, dice la Dra. Lautenslager.<\/p>\n<p>Muchas cremas, pomadas y lociones que se encuentran en la farmacia pueden proporcionar alivio. Podr\u00eda ser el momento de consultar a un m\u00e9dico si el tratamiento de venta libre no ayuda, si la afecci\u00f3n se vuelve cada vez m\u00e1s dolorosa o si experimenta sangrado frecuente.<\/p>\n<p>Las pomadas recetadas pueden ayudar y hay opciones quir\u00fargicas y no quir\u00fargicas disponibles para casos graves.<\/p>\n<p>Si tiene alguno de estos s\u00edntomas digestivos, pida cita con un especialista en <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/digestive-health-institute-gastroenterology\">Cooper\u2019s Digestive Health Institute<\/a> llamando al <a href=\"tel:800-826-6787\">800.8.COOPER<\/a> (<a href=\"tel:800-826-6737\">800.826.6737<\/a>), o use <a href=\"https:\/\/request.cooperhealth.org\/request.php\">nuestro en l\u00ednea formulario de solicitud de cita<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed Digestive health issues can be hard to stomach.
