Indigestion is often linked to poor gut health and chronic inflammation. When the stomach struggles to digest food properly, it can lead to symptoms like bloating, discomfort, and acid reflux. Gut inflammation slows down digestion, making these symptoms more frequent. Conditions like IBS, food intolerances, and infections are common triggers of indigestion due to inflammation in the gut. According to a study in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, nearly 40% of individuals with IBS report regular indigestion caused by gut-related issues.

Additionally, research published in Gut Microbes found that balancing gut bacteria with probiotics significantly reduced symptoms of indigestion in 55% of participants.
