                                Millions of people experience digestive discomfort, and a sensation often described as a "strong tummy" can be quite common. This feeling, which typically translates to a hard, tight, or distended abdomen, is frequently misunderstood and can be caused by a variety of factors ranging from benign digestive issues to, in rare cases, more serious medical conditions.
