Gallstones are hard deposits that form in your gallbladder, a small, pear-shaped sac that stores and secretes bile for digestion. Gallstones can occur when substances that make up the bile become too concentrated and form a hard stone.

When gallstones block the ducts leading from your gallbladder to your intestines, they can cause sharp pain in your upper-right abdomen.

If you experience any of the below symptoms, see your doctor immediately:

- Sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the upper right portion of your abdomen.
- Sudden and rapidly intensifying pain in the center of your abdomen, just below your breastbone.
- Back pain between your shoulder blades.
- Pain in your right shoulder.
- Nausea or vomiting.

When stomach acid backs up into your esophagus, a condition called acid reflux, you may feel a burning pain in the middle of your chest.

If you experience persistent heartburn, bad breath, unexplained tooth erosion, nausea, pain in your chest or upper part of your abdomen, or have trouble swallowing or breathing, see your doctor.
Most people find relief by avoiding certain foods and beverages that trigger their symptoms, or taking over-the-counter antacids or other medication that reduces stomach acid production and inflammation of the esophagus.

Lifestyle changes like elevating the head of the bed, not lying down after a meal, and quitting smoking can also help.

However, some cases of GERD require stronger treatment, such as acid-blocking medication or even surgery.

If you suspect you have such symptoms, don't delay in speaking with your doctor.

🎄 Γιορτινές Ημέρες & Πεπτικό Σύστημα: Προσοχή στις Υπερβολές 🎄

Κατά τη διάρκεια των Χριστουγέννων, το τραπέζι γεμίζει λιχουδιές—αλλά το πεπτικό μας σύστημα συχνά το πληρώνει...

⚠️ Συνηθισμένες ενοχλήσεις:
Φούσκωμα & δυσπεψία μετά από μεγάλα γεύματα
Καούρες από λιπαρά ή πικάντικα φαγητά
Εναλλαγές διάρροιας και δυσκοιλιότητας λόγω αλλαγής διατροφής

🎁 Τι μπορείτε να κάνετε:
✔️ Μικρότερες μερίδες, πιο συχνά γεύματα
✔️ Περπάτημα μετά το φαγητό
✔️ Ενυδάτωση & μέτρο στο αλκοόλ
✔️ Επιλέξτε πιο “ήσυχα” φαγητά για το στομάχι (ρύζι, βραστά λαχανικά, γιαούρτι)

Αν τα συμπτώματα επιμένουν, είναι καλό να κάνετε έναν γαστρεντερολογικό έλεγχο.
