Gastroenterologist Dilyara Lebedeva spoke about dangerous symptoms of a malfunction in the body.
If they are present, it is important to seek medical help in a timely manner, writes Rossiyskaya Gazeta .
As the specialist noted, special attention should be paid to the pancreas, which is involved in the production of enzymes needed to digest food. The organ produces insulin and glucagon, which affect the state of glucose in the blood.
A failure can lead to problems with the gastrointestinal tract and diabetes.
The doctor reminded that everything in our body is interconnected. For example, gastrointestinal diseases can affect the entire body.
But when exactly should you visit a gastroenterologist? As the specialist noted, this should be done when you feel heaviness, discomfort or even pain after eating.
Lebedeva added that lozenges, chewing gum and other appetite stimulants have a negative effect on the functioning of the pancreas.
In addition, fast food, sugar, cigarettes and alcohol are harmful.
