Solution

The digestive system: It is a system of organs that help in the digestion of food to absorb energy, minerals, and nutrients. This system consists of the mouth, food pipe, stomach, pancreas, and, intestine.

The symptoms of a bad digestive system are as follows:

  1. Constipation: When the person is unable to pass stools every day, the fecal matter will be very hard and unable to pass through the anus because of low water intake.
  2. Bloating: The person's stomach always feels like it is filled, it will be filled by the gastric juices produced by the stomach so the person burps most of the time and does not feel hungry. This occurs due to an imbalance in their food intake and the quantity or quality of the food.
  3. Diarrhea: In some severe cases the food ingested does not get digested instead it is passed as watery stools.
  4. Nausea: where the person feels like vomiting, throws up the ingested food through the mouth where the peristaltic movement of the gut is disturbed and the food reverses back and vomits through the mouth or the person may feel like vomiting but cannot.
