Helicobacter pylori, or H. pylori, is a bacteria commonly found in the stomach of about half the world's population. Most people have no symptoms. However, H. pylori can cause digestive problems, including ulcers and, rarely, stomach cancer. H. pylori bacteria may spread through direct contact with saliva, vomit, feces, or contaminated food or water.
Excessive and repetitive air swallowing, resulting in burping and flatulence symptoms. It can be caused by psychological reasons, habits, or using machines that assist in breathing (CPAP machines).
Difficulty passing stool. Constipation can also refer to a decrease in stool quantity (e.g. passing stool every day but only small amounts). It can be caused by various factors, including dietary habits, mobility, illnesses, and medications.
This medical emergency occurs when the stomach abnormally twists around itself, forming a loop. This can lead to obstruction, bleeding, and strangulation. It can happen when the structures around the stomach that help keep it in place are unusually lax or due to other structural abdominal abnormalities. It is most common in children and adults over 50 years old.
