The following are common symptoms of a nervous stomach
- Vomiting or diarrhea caused by an upset stomach.
- Stomach cramps.
- Indigestion.
- Constipation.
- Loss of appetite.
- Painful gas.
- Butterflies in your stress upset stomach.
- Increased need for the bathroom.
Whether your gastric pain is diagnosed as non-ulcer dyspepsia or due to a more specific cause, making some simple lifestyle changes can lower your risk of experiencing gastric pain symptoms:
Eat smaller but more frequent meals. If you often suffer from indigestion, have five to six smaller meals a day, rather than three square meals.
Eat on time and avoid skipping meals. This will accustom your stomach to release its gastric juices only during mealtimes and not erratically.
Consume less irritating foods. Cutting down on spicy, acidic, fried, or fatty foods helps reduce gastric symptoms and allows your stomach to heal.
Drink alcohol in moderation. Excessive amounts of alcohol may weaken your stomach’s protective lining, making you more susceptible to ulcers.
Quit smoking. Smoking increases the production of stomach acid, slows down healing, and increases your risk of getting stomach cancer.
Better manage your stress. High stress increases the production of gastric juices in your stomach. Exercise regularly and adopt relaxation activities such as yoga to keep your stress in check.
