There may even be bloating and flatulence, especially when there are many people together. This is also quite embarrassing. Many people want to solve this problem.

Gas and bloating are very common gastrointestinal problems. Sometimes you just need to do some exercise or walk to relieve them, but sometimes the pain is so severe that you roll around in bed. Moreover, as long as it is abdominal pain, the symptoms are often similar, which often confuses people, not knowing whether it is an ulcer or a stomach upset.

When air enters the body, the human body will instinctively burp or pass gas to expel excess gas. Generally speaking, an adult will 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.

There are many reasons for bloating, such as:

Eating too quickly or talking while eating so that you swallow too much air.

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.

Dairy products are also foods that can easily cause bloating, or bloating may be caused by the body's inability to absorb lactose. .

Certain gastrointestinal diseases such as irritability and gallbladder disease (possibly indigestion) can cause bloating.

What should you do when you have bloating?

If you feel like passing gas, don't hold it in. You can temporarily avoid the crowd. You must release it so that your stomach and intestines can relieve the pressure.

If abdominal bloating is difficult to eliminate, you can use peppermint oil to apply the area around your navel to eliminate abdominal bloating.

Drink some mint tea or citrus tea to relieve gas and bloating.

Do a simple exercise: lie flat on your back, bend your knees, wrap your arms around your calves, and try to bring your thighs close to your stomach. This action can effectively help expel gas and prevent gas accumulation in the stomach. You can do it every night before going to bed to protect your stomach and intestines.

How to avoid bloating?

Most of the flatulence is caused by diet. First of all, you must change your eating habits:

When eating, chew slowly and don't eat too much at one time.

Avoid drinking carbonated drinks and chewing gum, and it is best not to drink beverages with a straw, as these will invisibly increase gas intake.

Eat less foods or desserts containing fructose or sorbitol (sugar), as these are also the culprits of gas production.

Bean products must be cooked until they are thoroughly cooked before eating, because beans that are too hard are not only difficult to digest but can also easily cause bloating.

Some people are particularly prone to gas or bloating after certain foods, so they must avoid certain specific foods based on past experience.

Don't sit on the sofa after a meal. Get up and walk around, wash the dishes, or take a short walk. Gentle and gentle exercise can help digestion.

PS If gastrointestinal bloating and discomfort are caused by taking specific medications, such as certain diarrhea or diarrhea, you may need to communicate with your doctor and request a change of medication or stop taking it.

When should you see a doctor?

If you feel less pain in your lower abdomen after passing gas or defecating, you may have irritable bowel syndrome.

Frequent bowel movements, weight loss, or light-colored, foul-smelling stools may be a sign that you may be having trouble digesting food.

Commonly used herbs for promoting qi and relieving bloating, such as tangerine peel, fructus aurantii, magnolia bark, costus root, and amomum villosum, are easy to deplete vital energy and should be stopped once the symptoms are relieved.

I think most people have experienced abdominal bloating. Bloating is a very uncomfortable thing, and most people use camphor oil or take Wuta Powder to relieve bloating. But essential oils are also a good way. Cypress essential oil is a good choice. You can also use cypress and chamomile in a 1:1 ratio. Pour it on the palm of your hand to warm it up, and then apply it around the navel in a clockwise manner for about 10 minutes, and your bloating will slowly subside.

Use abdominal breathing

The method of abdominal breathing is actually very simple; when we inhale, the belly expands, and when we exhale, the belly contracts. Although you may not be used to it at first, once you get used to it, it will help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote the excretion of waste in the body. On the other hand, it can also make the airflow smooth and increase lung capacity.
