What's going on with your belly rumbling?

Rumbling stomach is a very common phenomenon in normal times. Many people have experienced this phenomenon at ordinary times. For most people, the rumbling stomach means they are hungry and need to eat. However, some people may have rumbling stomachs even when they are not hungry. If the stomach rumbles frequently and for a long time, it must be taken seriously as it may be caused by disease. The following describes the specific reasons for rumbling stomach.

Several factors may cause your stomach to growl frequently:

1. Disease factors

Diseases can cause a person's stomach to growl. You should know that diseases such as liver, gallbladder, pancreas, peritoneum, bloating, ulcers, etc. are the main causes of stomach rumbling. Therefore, if you want to stay away from stomach rumbling, you must pay attention to the prevention and treatment of various diseases.

2. Stomach and Intestine Gas

Too much gas in the stomach and intestines will not only make your stomach rumble, but also make you feel a lot of discomfort. Therefore, if you find that your stomach is always rumbling in life, you must solve it in time.

3. Swallowing Air

Swallowing a large amount of air will make your stomach growl, because swallowing air into the stomach and intestines will cause an abnormal increase in gastrointestinal gas. In order to avoid gastrointestinal damage, the body will regulate the ability of gastrointestinal activity, thereby reducing the chance of gastrointestinal damage.

4. Indigestion

Indigestion is also a factor that can easily cause stomach rumbling, especially when people eat foods rich in fiber. The rough food will increase the capacity of the intestinal cavity, affect the normal peristalsis of the intestines, and increase the gas in the intestines, which will cause the stomach to rumble.

How to prevent stomach growling frequently?

1. Keep warm and maintain

Pay special attention to keeping your stomach warm, add clothes when necessary, and cover yourself with quilts when sleeping at night to prevent your abdomen from catching cold and causing stomach pain or aggravating old illnesses.

2. Diet adjustment

The diet should be warm, soft, light, vegetarian and fresh. It should be eaten at regular times and in regular amounts, with small meals often provided so that there is always food in the stomach to neutralize gastric acid, thereby preventing erosion of the gastric mucosa and ulcer surface and worsening of the condition.

3. Avoid eating too much

Be careful about what you eat and don't eat food that is too cold, too hot, too hard, too spicy, or too sticky. Avoid overeating and quit smoking and drinking. In addition, you should pay attention to the method of taking the medicine. It is best to take it after meals to prevent irritation of the gastric mucosa and worsening of the condition.

4. Keep calm and rest

We should pay attention to mental hygiene, maintain a happy spirit and stable emotions, and avoid the stimulation of negative emotions such as tension, anxiety, and anger. At the same time, pay attention to the combination of work and rest to prevent excessive fatigue from affecting the recovery of stomach problems.

5. Exercise and health care

Patients with gastrointestinal problems should, based on their own physical signs, strengthen moderate exercise to improve the body's disease resistance, reduce the recurrence of the disease, and promote physical and mental health.

To protect the intestines, you should do the following four things:

1. Don’t put too much mental pressure on yourself

Under normal circumstances, the parietal cells in the human stomach regularly secrete gastric acid for food digestion. The gastric mucosa itself also produces a mucus substance that adheres to the surface of the stomach to form a protective barrier to prevent gastric acid reflux from damaging the gastric mucosa. When the mind is in a state of tension for a long time, it will cause ischemia and hypoxia of the gastric mucosa, thereby reducing the self-protection function of the mucosa. The H in the gastric acid refluxes and corrodes the gastric mucosa, causing stomach diseases.

2. Don’t eat irregularly

The secretion of gastric juice in the human body is regulated by the biological clock and maintains regular secretion. When you feel hungry, your stomach is telling you that it's time to eat. If you ignore this signal at this time, the large amount of gastric acid produced in the stomach will have no food to digest, and will in turn "digest" its own mucous membrane, causing stomach pain.

3. Don’t rely too much on rice

Many people's staple food remains unchanged all year round and they are very dependent on rice. From a digestion perspective, pasta such as steamed buns is better for the stomach and easier to digest than rice. When you feel tired or weak, it is recommended to eat more pasta instead of rice to reduce the burden on your stomach.

4. Don’t use your brain immediately after a meal

This is especially important for fast-paced office workers. Many of them start working immediately after eating. The active mental activities at this time can easily affect the stomach function. Because the blood volume in the human body is relatively fixed, after eating a large amount, the stomach needs to mobilize sufficient blood to flow into the body for food digestion. If you engage in mental activities immediately at this time, the brain and stomach will compete for limited blood, causing indigestion and stomach problems. Similarly, watching TV while eating is not good for the stomach.
