What causes indigestion?

Indigestion affects millions of people every day. For some, it's brought on by eating fatty foods. For others, simple carbohydrates (like bread and pasta) can cause gas and bloating. And for other individuals, spicy foods can cause them grief. Although what we eat greatly influences the frequency and severity of indigestion, this discomfort could also be related to an underlying problem – low hydrochloric acid (HCl) content in the stomach. Situations such as gall bladder removal, use of antacids, and normal aging can contribute to insufficient secretion of stomach acid, which can adversely affect digestive enzyme activity and result in poor protein digestion, leading to occasional indigestion, gas, bloating, and other forms of gastrointestinal discomfort. Maldigestion can also lead to poor absorption of micronutrients, particularly the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K.
