What to do if you have bloating, stomachache and diarrhea

Stomach bloating, stomach pain and diarrhea can be said to be a very serious condition. Because when we experience one of these pains in our body, we will feel that the days are long, let alone three different symptoms. Generally speaking, when encountering this situation, the first thing everyone should correct is their diet. It is best to eat some fresh and easily digestible food, and then use medication to relieve the discomfort.

Yuer will introduce 3 tips to you today. When you feel stomach discomfort, you can use them.

Cold stomach, stomach pain

The weather has been getting hotter recently. Sometimes I can't help but drink cold water or eat food that is too cold, and my stomach will ache.

At this time, you can boil water with ginger and add a little brown sugar to drink. This tea has the effects of dispelling cold, warming the stomach, increasing appetite and relieving abdominal pain.

Stomach bloating

Sometimes when I eat something delicious, I eat too much without realizing it. Sometimes I don’t eat much, but my stomach still feels bloated and uncomfortable!

These are all manifestations of poor gastrointestinal function. At this time, the masters might as well brew some Pu'er tea and add some tangerine peel to it. Drinking tea in this way can help eliminate food accumulation and reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines.

Alternatively, you can try massaging the Zhongwan acupoint.

Zhongwan point is located in the upper abdomen, on the front midline of the body, 4 inches above the navel. Press and rub this point with your fingertips for about three minutes each time.

Constipation, diarrhea

Sometimes, eating food that is difficult to digest can cause an imbalance in the body's flora, which can easily lead to diarrhea and constipation.

In this case, you can appropriately supplement some drinks containing probiotics to help the stomach and intestines digest.

Gastroenteritis

Treatment of gastroenteritis should include fasting and correction of water and electrolyte imbalance. Usually, all that is needed is bed rest and drinking plenty of fluids (such as oral rehydration salts). Even patients who are vomiting should drink as much fluid as possible. Breastfeeding infants should continue to breastfeed. If vomiting or diarrhea persists or if dehydration is severe, intravenous rehydration may be necessary. Antiemetics may be used when vomiting is severe. If diarrhea persists for more than 24 to 48 hours and there is no evidence of a more serious bacterial infection, antidiarrheal drugs may be added. Antiemetics and antidiarrheal drugs are generally not recommended for children.

Because antibiotics may cause diarrhea or promote the growth of drug-resistant bacteria, they are usually not recommended even if the pathogen of gastroenteritis has been identified. However, antibiotics may be used for infections caused by certain pathogens (such as Campylobacter, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, etc.) or for patients with traveler's diarrhea.

Antibiotics are not effective for gastroenteritis caused by viral infections. Gastroenteritis caused by parasitic infections requires the use of antiparasitic drugs.
