Does indigestions worsen with age?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: As you've noticed nothing works as well as when you were 25. Pancreatic enzyme production can decrease with aging and lead to heartburn from stomach acid over-prodcution so using digestive enzymes helps. Exposure to antibiotics destroys normal gut bacteria so adding a potent daily probiotic helps as well. Specific testing with diagnostechs stool profile can determine other issues.
