Senior Tips for a Calm and Healthy Digestive System
When experiencing abdominal pain, common digestive system diagnoses in elderly patients today include cholecystitis, intestinal obstruction, and cancer. So how can we take care of our intestines and digestive system?
.
1. Take care of oral health, including teeth and gums, as it affects chewing and digestion since the mouth is the first stage when eating.
2. Choose foods that are easy to digest and avoid large or excessive meals.
3. Regularly monitor any abnormalities in bowel movements and eating habits.
4. Avoid alcohol and caffeine to reduce the risk of acid reflux.
5. Avoid carbonated drinks containing caffeine and gas, as they increase the risk of bloating.

How can we detect these issues? Many may wonder how to know if there is an abnormality or a possible disease. Common symptoms include changes in bowel movements such as constipation, diarrhea, alternating constipation and diarrhea, smaller stools, rectal bleeding, anemia, or difficulty swallowing. If you experience these symptoms, don’t delay—consult a specialist for detailed diagnosis using colonoscopy. Synphaet Lam Luk Ka Hospital has a team of expert doctors and modern, quality-standard equipment ready to serve you.
