Can I drink milk if I have bloating?

Generally speaking, you can drink milk when you have bloating. You can boil milk and goat milk and drink them in the morning, or steam them together with an appropriate amount of fresh milk, ginger juice and sugar. These two methods can effectively treat bloating or stomach pain. However, patients with excessive stomach acid should pay attention and avoid yogurt, because yogurt can promote the secretion of digestive juice and increase stomach acid.

In addition to paying attention to milk, patients should eat some high-protein and high-vitamin foods on a regular basis to ensure that the body has adequate nutrients and prevent anemia and malnutrition, such as lean meat, chicken, liver, kidney and other offal, green leafy vegetables and other foods; eat less or no spicy, irritating, greasy and fried foods, eat regularly, have three meals a day at regular times, avoid overeating, develop good eating and living habits, and keep warm to avoid catching cold.

Causes of stomach bloating

1. Indigestion: Some patients have poor physical constitution and insufficient gastric motility, and often suffer from bloating due to eating certain irritating foods or foods that are difficult to digest. In addition, if the intestinal flora is unbalanced, a lot of waste gas will easily accumulate in the intestine, which can also cause bloating. 2. Organic diseases: such as gastrointestinal tumors, chronic gastritis, gastric ulcers, gastric ptosis, gastric dilatation and pyloric obstruction, can all lead to gastrointestinal gas accumulation, which manifests as abdominal bloating and abdominal gas retention. When there is too much gas accumulation in the stomach and intestines, the patient may feel abdominal discomfort, manifested by belching, bloating, and hyperactive bowel sounds. 3. Functional diseases: such as indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome with constipation, neurosis, etc. Most of these conditions are serious and should not be taken lightly. 4. Gastrointestinal diseases: such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, enteritis, intestinal obstruction, habitual constipation, etc.
