The 2025 College Scholastic Ability Test is coming on the 14th. As the temperature drops after Ipdong, health and condition management are the most important times for test takers. In particular, test takers should manage gastrointestinal health, which tends to be sensitive. Functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome directly affect test takers' academic performance and concentration. You should also carefully prepare lunch boxes that you take on the day of the CSAT.

First, indigestion refers to the symptoms of digestive disorders that occur after eating food. Functional indigestion occurs without any clear cause, such as overeating or gastritis. It can last for a long time and symptoms can appear repeatedly over several months to several years. On the other hand, there is a difference in that general indigestion is caused by certain causes such as overeating and eating fatty foods.

Functional indigestion causes symptoms such as heartburn, abdominal pain, and nausea. It causes urgent eating habits and overeating, and causes not only digestive symptoms, but also dizziness and headaches, which interfere with the study of test takers. In particular, excessive coffee and caffeine drinks to improve concentration can cause indigestion. Irregular bowel habits and various stresses in daily life also contribute.



"Functional indigestion is when symptoms such as abdominal bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation continue to appear even though there are no symptoms on endoscopy," said Jang Jun-hee, head of the internal medicine department at Seran Hospital. "Excessive stress or depression causes gastrointestinal disorders, and in the case of examinees, the habit of eating in a hurry due to lack of meal time also lowers stomach exercise."

Manager Jang Jun-hee said, `You should refrain from eating stimulating food ahead of the CSAT, and you should maintain a regular lifestyle and exercise consistently to avoid excessive stress"If not treated in time, functional dyspepsia may develop into other diseases such as reflux esophagitis, so be careful."," he stressed.



When I am nervous or under mental stress, I often keep going to the bathroom because my stomach is swollen. These are patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Irritable bowel syndrome is not an infection with bacteria, but after stress or eating, the stomach becomes uncomfortable and diarrhea or constipation occurs. In most cases, the cause cannot be found even after visiting a hospital and testing.

Like functional indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome is likely to occur when the intestines such as excessive stress, tension, irregular meals, and coffee are stimulated. Although it is rare to develop into a severe disease, it can lead to interpersonal avoidance and decreased motivation in severe cases because the intestines react sensitively in daily life.



Jang Jun-hee, head of the Department of Internal Medicine at Seran Hospital, said, `Sensitivity bowel syndrome occurs frequently in test-takers who spend a lot of time sitting, and it may worsen depending on the level of stress or lifestyle, and it is repeated that symptoms are alleviated.'"Sensitivity bowel syndrome combines treatment to relieve symptoms and normalize bowel function. It is also helpful to avoid irritating foods and activate bowel movements through walking and stretching."

Manager Jang Jun-hee said, `At the end of the exam life, my condition tends to deteriorate, but tension and stress stimulate the autonomic nervous system and cause indigestion, so I should eat mainly comfortable food"If you eat food that you don't usually eat on the day of the CSAT, you may have an upset stomach and it may be difficult to concentrate on the test, so it's better to bring food that is not irritating and digested well in a lunch box."
