Published: Jan 24, 2024
Abdominal pain can be debilitating, but many cases are preventable. Learn how to keep your stomach happy and healthy.
Dietary Changes for Prevention
A balanced diet rich in fiber can help prevent conditions like constipation and diverticulosis. Limiting fatty and spicy foods can also reduce the risk of gallstones and gastritis. Staying hydrated aids digestion and prevents discomfort.
