Excessive gas in the stomach

Many people have experienced abdominal bloating. When abdominal bloating occurs, people will feel stomach discomfort and their normal life will be seriously affected, because abdominal bloating will make it difficult for people to eat. Since most people's bloating will disappear on its own after a period of time, they don't know the cause of the bloating. However, for people who often experience bloating, it is very necessary to understand the cause of the bloating.

Food fermentation causes abdominal bloating

Certain foods themselves are prone to causing bloating, such as beans, wheat bran, apples, peaches, onions, cabbage, cereals, and potato foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. These are all gas-producing foods.

Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of bacteria in the lower ileum and ascending colon. If the chyme stays in this section of the intestine for too long for some reason, the bacteria can cause the chyme to ferment, produce a large amount of gas, and cause abdominal distension.

Excessive stomach acid causes bloating

Excessive stomach acid can easily produce a large amount of carbon dioxide gas in the stomach and intestines, which may cause bloating.

This condition is often accompanied by hiccups and sour breath. OTC drugs such as Starshu and Weibizhi can treat excessive stomach acid and can be purchased at ordinary pharmacies. In terms of diet, eat less cold, sweet and sour foods.

Constipation causes abdominal bloating

The bloating caused by constipation will naturally disappear as long as the constipation is cured.

If both constipation and bloating are severe, you can use laxatives, enema and other immediate laxatives; for general bloating, you can drink Chinese medicine such as rhubarb, cassia seed, honeysuckle, and golden olive in water; in the long run, diet therapy is better, eat more water-rich fruits, vegetables, yogurt and other foods that moisturize the intestines and promote bowel movements.

The cause of abdominal bloating is weak qi and blood or lack of exercise

Weak Qi and blood and lack of exercise lead to insufficient intestinal motility. This causes food to be poorly digested and ferment in the intestines, which in turn produces gas and causes bloating.

Therefore, if you are weak and suffer from bloating, you should exercise more often, ensure adequate nutrition, eat more foods that replenish qi and blood, such as red dates, longans, and white fungus. People with weak spleen and stomach are often prone to bloating if they sit for a long time. Drinking some honey can reduce bloating.

The cause of abdominal bloating is weak spleen and stomach or a history of gastrointestinal disease and surgery

The digestive capacity of the stomach and intestines is relatively weak. If you overeat or have an improper diet, the food you eat will not be effectively digested and will be retained in the stomach and intestines for fermentation. The gas produced will cause bloating.

Therefore, you can take digestive aids such as stomach-strengthening and digestive juices, or you can eat digestive fruits such as hawthorn, bayberry, and carambola. The most fundamental thing is to pay attention to controlling your diet, not overeating, and not consuming difficult-to-digest foods.

The cause of abdominal bloating is bad eating habits

When you eat too fast or talk while eating, you will swallow too much air and cause bloating.

Therefore, in your daily diet, you should pay attention to not eating too fast, chew slowly, and eating too fast will make you gain weight.

The causes of abdominal bloating: fast pace of life and high stress

Weakened or absent intestinal motility will prevent gas in the intestinal cavity from being discharged from the body, thus causing abdominal bloating. The accumulated gas in the body cannot be discharged from the body, which will put pressure on the digestive system and cause people to feel uncomfortable such as bloating and even pain. When air enters the body, the human body will instinctively react by burping or farting to expel excess gas.

Generally speaking, adults pass gas about 10-18 times a day. If there is any abnormality, whether it is too many times or no gas, it will cause abnormal bloating.

Digestive tract diseases cause abdominal bloating

Some digestive system diseases such as pyloric obstruction due to various reasons, intestinal obstruction, and after gastrectomy will cause abdominal distension symptoms. In addition, diseases that can cause abdominal distension include hepatitis, liver tumors, cholecystitis, gallstones, acute and chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic tumors, and toxic intestinal paralysis caused by acute infection.

Abdominal distension caused by disease may be due to gas in the abdominal cavity or ascites. This requires a careful examination in the hospital to confirm.
