What's going on when my stomach hurts and I fart a lot?

Stomach pain and frequent farts are mostly caused by bloating. Many people are prone to bloating and farting after catching a cold, eating cold food, or having a cold stomach. This is a sign of indigestion. On the one hand, it is caused by the invasion of cold air into the spleen and stomach, the cold evil invading the spleen, and the spleen failing to function properly. On the other hand, it is also closely related to personal constitution. Weak spleen and stomach, insufficient spleen function or kidney yang deficiency can easily cause indigestion, which can lead to stomach pain and frequent farts after a slight cold. Next, I will introduce to you the specific causes and solutions for stomach pain and frequent farts.

Causes and solutions for abdominal bloating

Everyone has experienced bloating to some extent. What should you do when you encounter bloating? Bloating is a very uncomfortable thing. Sometimes it will go away by itself just by walking around, but if the bloating is severe, there will even be severe pain.

Everyone has a certain amount of gas in their stomach, which is usually discharged from the body through burping or farting. This kind of gas discharge occurs 10 to 18 times a day. If you pass gas too little or the gas is abnormal, it may cause bloating.

1. Causes of abdominal bloating:

There are many reasons for bloating. Eating, drinking soda, and even talking or breathing through your mouth can cause bloating every day.

Some foods also produce gas during gastrointestinal digestion, such as apples, beans, onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.

Dairy products are also foods that can easily cause bloating.

Some gastrointestinal diseases may also cause bloating.

2. What to do if you have bloating:

1. You can apply some cool essential oil or peppermint oil around your belly and navel, which can slowly reduce the feeling of bloating.

2. You can make tea with citrus peel or mint tea to relieve the symptoms of bloating.

3. You can expel gas effectively by doing one movement: lie flat on the bed, hug your thighs with your hands, and keep them as close to your stomach as possible. This posture can effectively promote the elimination of intestinal gas. If you often suffer from bloating, it is recommended to do this exercise once every night. It can effectively protect the stomach and intestines and reduce the accumulation of gas in the stomach and intestines.

4. Eat more bananas. Although bananas cannot help expel gas, they can increase gastrointestinal motility and prevent constipation. Eating more bananas can help people defecate effectively, and the gas in the body will be discharged from the body during the defecation process.

3. How to prevent bloating:

1. If you often suffer from bloating, it is recommended that you give up dairy products. Try not to eat dairy products for a week and observe whether the situation improves.

2. Chewing food thoroughly can also reduce the possibility of bloating. Thorough chewing can expel a large amount of gas in food before it enters the stomach, and can also reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.

3. Eat less foods containing sorbitol. This type of sugar is difficult to digest and is very easy to produce gas.

5. Taking a walk after a meal can not only aid digestion, but also help eliminate excess gas produced during meals, preventing gas from accumulating in the body.

Therefore, in normal times, we should develop good eating habits and chew slowly when eating. After meals, we can do appropriate exercise, such as slow walking, to help the gastrointestinal tract digestion. We can also eat more foods that can expel gas and aid digestion, such as radish, hawthorn, celery, fennel, etc., so that the excess gas in the body can be discharged as much as possible.
