Weak digestion could be either at the level of stomach or at the level of small intestines or at the level of cells. We need to differentiate these levels of digestion. At the level of stomach: one doesn't actually feel hungry, particularly during the breakfast time. This is mainly due to Kapha dosha. This could be constitutional or acquired. At the level of small intestine: even with little quantity of food the person feels full. The person feels full for a longer time. The time taken for digestion is prolonged. This is due to decreased pitta and vitiated vata. This is usually acquired. At the cellular level: inspite of having hunger and taking food, there is no supply of nourishment to the cells and hence the body becomes weak producing a negative feedback, leading to accumulation of waste at the cellular level thereby producing diseases respectively.

Hence before taking up solutions or treatments for weak digestion one should carefully assess at what level is the digestion weak.
