I don't eat but my stomach is bloated

My stomach has been bloated recently. I have no appetite for anything and I am not hungry. Even if I don’t eat, my stomach is still bloated. I always feel like there is gas churning back and forth in my stomach. There are many reasons for stomach bloating, most of which are due to improper diet and cold that causes damage to the gastric mucosa, resulting in symptoms such as stomach bloating. If bloating occurs normally, you should eat a reasonable diet, chew slowly, eat foods that are easier to digest, and protect your stomach to ensure your health.

Home tips for relieving bloating

1. Take 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.

2. Foods that are not suitable for pairing;

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.

3. 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.

4. Chew rice soup

Rice soup and barley porridge are effective for bloating, flatulence and heartburn. Add one part rice (millet or barley) to five parts water and boil for 10 minutes. Cover and simmer for another 50 minutes. Filter, cool, and drink several times a day.

5. Foods to avoid

The main cause of bloating is the inability of the digestive system to absorb certain types of carbohydrates. Beans can easily cause bloating. Cabbage, broccoli, onions, cauliflower, whole wheat flour, white radish, bananas, etc. are also prone to cause bloating.

6. Eat high-fiber foods in moderation

Although high-fiber foods are beneficial for your health, some high-fiber vegetables and fruits may increase gas. If you want to increase the amount of fiber in your diet for health reasons, start with smaller amounts to allow your intestines to gradually adapt, which can reduce bloating.

Seven principles for the elderly to overcome bloating:

Eat less high-fiber foods

High-fiber foods such as potatoes, pasta, beans, and vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower, and onions can easily produce gas in the stomach and intestines, eventually leading to bloating.

Avoid foods that are difficult to digest

Hard foods such as fried beans and hard pancakes are not easy to digest and stay in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, which may produce more gas and cause bloating.

Change your eating habits

Eating too fast or eating while walking can easily lead to swallowing a lot of air; frequently drinking beverages through a straw can also allow a large amount of air to sneak into the stomach, causing bloating.

Overcoming negative emotions

Negative emotions such as anxiety, worry, sadness, frustration, and depression may weaken the digestive function or stimulate the stomach to produce too much gastric acid, resulting in increased stomach gas and increased abdominal bloating.

Pay attention to physical exercise

Exercising moderately for about an hour every day can not only help you overcome negative emotions, but also help the digestive system maintain normal function.

Supplement fiber food moderately

High-fiber foods don't just cause bloating—sometimes they can actually help relieve it, especially after consuming high-fat foods. This is because high-fat foods are difficult to digest and absorb, and therefore tend to stay in the stomach and intestines for a longer time. Once fiber is added, the blocked digestive system is likely to be unblocked quickly.

Watch out for certain illnesses

For some diseases, abdominal distension is either a precursor or one of the symptoms, including allergic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, bladder tumor, etc.
