Burping, bloating, esophageal burning, and varying degrees of pain—these are some typical after-meal experiences for people with digestive issues.

Some people know what foods will bring on symptoms, but for others, the cause of their gastro-distress remains a mystery. Fortunately, if your struggle involves digestive distress and not severe or life-threatening allergic responses—which require immediate medical attention—you might be able to do a little detective work and learn more about how your body is responding to food. You may even be able to pinpoint the specific foods that are causing the issues.
