Stomach pain? Do this to eliminate it quickly!

In daily life, abdominal bloating and pain is a common gastrointestinal disease. Generally, it may be caused by gastrointestinal indigestion or improper diet. There are many ways to eliminate abdominal bloating and pain. You can first eat some digestive foods, such as apples, hawthorn, etc. You can also massage your stomach to expel gas as soon as possible to reduce the feeling of bloating and pain. If abdominal bloating and pain occur frequently, it may be a manifestation of gastrointestinal disease and needs to be checked in time. You should eat more easily digestible foods and avoid hard foods. Pay attention to chewing slowly during meals.

1. How to quickly eliminate abdominal pain

1. Generally speaking, abdominal distension is accompanied by bloating. Bloating limited to the upper abdomen is often caused by gas accumulation in the stomach or transverse colon. Abdominal distension caused by small intestinal gas may be limited to the middle abdomen or the entire abdomen. Abdominal distension caused by colonic gas may be limited to the lower abdomen or the left lower abdomen. In case of pyloric obstruction, there may be a gastric shape and peristaltic waves in the upper abdomen. In case of intestinal obstruction, there may be an intestinal shape and peristaltic waves, and the bowel sounds may be hyperactive or weakened. Patients with peritonitis may have tenderness and muscle tension.

2. If you feel like releasing gas, don’t hold it in. You can temporarily avoid the crowd and make sure to 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.

3. Do a simple movement: lie flat on your back, bend your knees, hug your calves with both hands, and try to keep 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.

2. Ways to reduce bloating

1. Don’t eat food that is 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.

2. Eat less high-fiber foods

Foods such as potatoes, pasta, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, etc. are easy to produce gas in the stomach and intestines, which eventually leads to abdominal bloating.

3. Change the habit of eating too fast

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.

4. Overcome 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.

3. What causes abdominal pain?

1. Gastrointestinal bacteria produce gas

25% of patients with gastroenteritis and gastric ulcer will have symptoms of bloating after recovering from the illness, which may be caused by excessive growth of small intestinal bacteria. Gastroenteritis breaks down your defenses, allowing more bacteria to enter your small intestine and cause overgrowth. Excessive bacteria produce gas, causing bloating.

2. Dietary Misconceptions

Consuming fructose, which is difficult to digest, may produce gas and cause bloating. Fruits such as watermelon, apples, pears and mangoes are rich in glucose and fructose. If you are someone who easily gets bloated after consuming fructose, you should eat fruits that have a relatively balanced content of fructose and glucose, such as bananas and blueberries.

3. Lack of exercise

Sitting for a long time all day without any activity will make the stomach and intestines lazy, making it difficult for intestinal gas to be discharged smoothly. Physical activity will stimulate the muscle groups of the digestive tract and accelerate gas discharge. Studies show that people who take a walk one hour after a meal digest more quickly and have smoother intestines.

4. Too much stress

When a person is in an emergency state, the amount of blood flowing into the gastrointestinal tract decreases and the digestion rate slows down. Additionally, stress can cause your breathing to become heavier, causing you to inhale more air than usual, which can cause bloating. To feel comfortable, exhale longer and inhale shorter to allow your body to enter a calmer state.
