Question 1

i often feel like my food is not being digested hours after eating, but my stomach is growling. why is that?

Accepted Answer

+/- Gastroparesis?: Consider gastroparesis=a slow-emptying stomach that is most symptomatic after the stomach fills from meals. Maybe its functional due to brainstem reflexes induced by eating--often exaggerated in irritable bowel syndrome resulting in altered perception of gut distension, "growling", &modified transit of food. Sometimes, gastric outlet delay may reflect inflammation, scarring, biliary disease, more.

Question 2

ii feel like my nutrition isnt being absorbed should ii take hlc bermaine to help food digest?

Accepted Answer

G.I. doctor to check: A gastroenterologist (G.I. Or stomach specialist) can evaluate for problems if a person thinks he is not absorbing nutrients properly. There are many different types of malabsorption, so one cannot just presume that taking some acid would help. Some digestive enzymes require an acid environment, but other enzymes (the ones in the small intestine) need the acid "neutralized" in order to work.

Many reasons: There are many reasons for you to feel like this.  Most likely you are lacking from an adequate amount of water or fiber in your diet which may be causing constipation.

Not sure what you: Mean.  Your body will take care of digestion.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

What's the hurry?: Why would you want to hasten your digestion?  Are you feeling bloated, or are you not eliminating regularly?  These could be similar or different physiological issues, and it would be best to talk with your own doctor about any digestive problems you might be having.  If you're having no problems but you just want to hurry, i respectfully suggest learning to appreciate your body's natural timing.

Question 10
