I have learned that indigestion and heartburn are totally different and often get confused for each other. Heartburn is when acid from the stomach gets into the esophagus giving a person a feeling of burning pain in the chest and throat areas. Indigestion is more like a feeling of being stuffed while eating or after eating. Bloated and pain in the stomach can be a symptom of indigestion.

You can usually take Rolaids®, Maalox® or Tums® to help with reduce the symptoms. Indigestion may also be a symptom of a more severe issue with the intestines and stomach. If symptoms of indigestion are frequent you should see a doctor and they will take x-rays and blood samples to diagnose what the issue may be.
