You may experience this after a big, heavy meal or get a feeling of being carsick. You get an upset stomach, gas, heartburn, nausea, or maybe a bathroom problem like constipation or diarrhea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know these things will pass, even if at the time they feel like an eternity. But when they happen a lot,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digestive system disrupt can really disrupt your life<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your Digestive System Explained<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your digestive system breaks down and absorbs food into parts small enough for your body to absorb. Your body uses those nutrients for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/digestive-diseases\/digestive-system-how-it-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">energy, growth, and cell repair<\/a>.&nbsp;The process starts in your mouth when&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/how-digestion-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">you anticipate eating and your mouth produces saliva<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of your digestive tract as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/health\/wellness-and-prevention\/how-digestion-works\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a long, twisting tube that runs from your mouth to your anus<\/a>.

Some pharmaceutical drugs including calcium channel blockers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/features\/digestive-health-aging#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can create digestive problems like constipation<\/a>. Talk to your healthcare practitioner about alternatives to and side effects of these medications. Never modify or discontinue any prescription drugs without your healthcare practitioner\u2019s consent.<\/li><li><strong>Dehydration<\/strong>. You might fear that drinking too much water will make you run to the bathroom often. But&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/features\/digestive-health-aging#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">being dehydrated can contribute to constipation and more<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Gut disorders.&nbsp;<\/strong>Common problems like heartburn can impact digestion.

And everything benefits when your body gets all the nutrients it requires from food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high-sugar, low-fiber diet can&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/what-your-gut-bacteria-say-your-health#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">destroy healthy gut bacteria and create a less diverse mix of that good bacteria<\/a>. Up to 13 percent of us could have non-celiac gluten sensitivities. For those people,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/signs-you-are-gluten-intolerant#section1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gluten can create problems like bloating, gas, diarrhea, and other digestive issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The right diet, on the other hand, is your best strategy to support digestion. A wide variety of leafy and cruciferous greens, low-sugar fruits like berries and avocado, nuts, and seeds provides nutrients and fiber. Dietary fiber is among your allies for digestive health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The soluble fiber in nuts and seeds absorbs water.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">That provides your stool bulk so you have regular bowel movements<\/a>.<\/li><li>The insoluble fiber in vegetables&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keeps things moving along in your digestive tract<\/a>.<\/li><li>The prebiotics in many fruits and vegetables feeds your healthy gut bacteria.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">They can reduce inflammatory bowel conditions<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Healthy fats also support digestion. You need these good fats to absorb fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D. The omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish, flax seeds, and walnuts can also&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">lower inflammation and reduce your risk of inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you eat matters, but so does what you drink. Clean, filtered water&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/nutrition\/ways-to-improve-digestion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can prevent constipation and keep your digestive system working well<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To further support your digestive system, consider intermittent fasting a few days weekly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eating all day takes its toll on your overworked digestive system. Fasting can give digestion a break while offering other benefits,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/intermittent-fasting-surprising-update-2018062914156\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">including weight loss<\/a>.&nbsp;Close up your kitchen after dinner and push breakfast later the next morning. You\u2019ll create a 14-hour or so fasting window.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/digestive-disorders\/features\/digestive-health-aging#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Always talk with your healthcare practitioner before you undergo any intermittent fasting plan and\/or about any specific digestive problems or symptoms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Digestion Supplements to Keep Your Track on Track<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with a healthy diet, a few nutrients can support your digestive system to keep it functioning well and preventing common problems.

Too much, too quickly can create problems like bloating and gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiber supplements can decrease the absorption of certain medications.
