A series of whole digestive system malfunctions such as anorexia, nausea, acid eructation, heart burn etc. Are seen at the physical level, though the aetiological factors like indulgence of incompatible food, irregular food intake, and excessive fried foods are responsible for the origin of the disease. Alcohol, smoking and stress are also not an exception.
