Are you troubled frequently by a growling stomach, heartburn or acidity? Digestive problems affect around 40% of older adults. Common stomach ailments may range from Gastrointestinal Reflux Disease (GERD) characterized by acid reflux and heartburn, to indigestion, ulcers, diverticulitis (bulging pouches in the colon) constipation, bowel incontinence and gall stones. Individuals with cerebral palsy are bothered commonly by digestive disorders like gastroesophageal reflux and constipation.
With aging, the muscles of the food pipe become weaker, taking more time to digest food. Hence, a balanced diet rich in fibers and low in calories, fats, and spices; is recommended by physicians for elderly adults. Often, seniors forget to complete the courses for certain antibiotic medications. This leads to disruption in the helpful microbe balance in the gut, increasing the risk of stomach infections and ulcers. A healthy diet with routine meal timings, drinking lots of fluids, regular exercise and medication will help you to maintain a healthier digestive system.
Doctors recommend that individuals with cerebral palsy must include calcium, vitamin D and phosphorus in their diet for better bone and muscle health. Compression products like abdominal support and heat therapy devices like infrared massagers, heating belts etc provide pain relief. An obese abdomen can be trimmed using abdominal toning belt and tummy trimmer. After gall stone surgery – waist belts, abdominal binders reduce pain at the surgical site during post surgical recovery. Adult diapers are very helpful for those with bowel incontinence.
