In the afternoon, my stomach started to bloat.

I wonder if anyone has ever encountered such a situation? Not long after lunch, in the afternoon or late evening, my stomach starts to feel bloated. Especially for some students who are taking a lunch break at school, their stomachs start to make gurgling sounds as soon as they lie down on the table. They feel very uncomfortable, which affects their nap time and their study efficiency in the afternoon. However, they cannot find a suitable solution, which makes them very upset. So is it a disease if your stomach starts to bloat in the afternoon? How should we treat it?

Causes and solutions:

Bloating may be a symptom of stomach or intestinal problems. Chewing with your mouth open, talking while eating, eating fast (taking in a lot of air at the same time), drinking soup while eating (flushing the digestive enzymes in the stomach down the digestive tract), etc., can easily cause digestive problems and cause bloating. Indigestion and stomach problems can also be accompanied by bloating; food allergies may also be the cause, which causes food to ferment in the colon, producing hydrogen and carbon dioxide; sugary foods contain bacteria, which are the main source of bloating. You need to identify the foods that you cannot digest and avoid them. Life stress, emotional tension, lack of digestive enzymes, etc. may all cause bloating.

Taking acidophilus

Indigestion-type bloating can be improved with acidophilus, as a lack of these beneficial bacteria is the most common cause of indigestion. Open 10 capsules and take as a single serving, or use one tablespoon of powdered formula. People who are allergic to milk crystals can use preparations that do not contain cow's milk instead. Acidophilus is also a fairly safe enema. You may feel slight discomfort at first, but it will subside after about an hour.

●Foods that don’t go well together

Improper food matching will cause digestive problems. For example, protein and starch are not a good match. Vegetables and fruits are also a bad combination. Milk should not be consumed at the same time as meals. Sugar should not be taken with protein or starch.

Drink vinegar

Mix one tablespoon of pure apple cider vinegar with a glass of water and sip it with your meals to aid digestion. You can also drink a glass of lemon water when you wake up in the morning, it also has therapeutic and blood-purifying effects.

When should you see a doctor?

1. If you feel bloating or burping or farting for a long time.

2. Unexplained bloating lasts for more than three days and cannot be relieved.

3. If you feel less pain in your lower abdomen after passing gas or defecating, you may have irritable bowel syndrome.

4. Frequent farting, weight loss, or light-colored, foul-smelling stools may mean that you may not be able to digest fat.

People who often suffer from bloating must pay attention to their diet, eat less foods that are easy to produce gas and bloating, don't be in a hurry when eating, chew slowly and thoroughly. If you have bloating for a long time and can't fart, it is best to see a hospital.
