In today’s busy lifestyle, we often ignore our nutritional needs, and due to this many aspects of health are affected. One important aspect of this is the health of our intestines, which is sometimes experienced as mild stomach pain. This pain can be a sign of poor intestinal health, which can cause serious problems if not taken care of in time.
Let us tell you that intestines are an important part of our body, which works to remove dirt from the body. When there is an infection in the intestines, bacteria, viruses, fungus or parasites start growing and gradually problems like stomach ache, digestive problems, constipation, vomiting, fever arise. If these problems are ignored, they can take the form of serious diseases in the future.
Causes of intestinal infection:
