How do you know if your food is not digesting?
Upset stomach: Stomach disturbances like gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhoea, and heart burn are all signs of an unhealthy digestive system. All these cater to difficulties in digesting the food and eliminating the waste from our bodies.
What does it mean to have undigested food in your stool?
While undigested food in stool isn’t something to worry about for the most part, there are some exceptions. The presence of undigested food could indicate food is passing too quickly through the digestive tract and not being properly digested. See your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms:
