What to do if your stomach is bloated? Eat more of these things

Stomach bloating is what people often call abdominal distension. It is very common and most people may experience this after a meal. Many people don’t know what to do when they have a bloated stomach. This is related to people's gastrointestinal tract, so bloating can also be relieved through diet.

1. Since human emotions are closely related to gastrointestinal function, we must first maintain a good mood, be cheerful, and get enough sleep, which may gradually improve gastrointestinal functional disorders. In terms of diet, the three meals a day should be reasonably distributed, with equal hunger and fullness. Generally, eat until you are 80% full and do not overeat, so as to adapt to the digestive capacity of the gastrointestinal tract. Eating too much can easily cause indigestion and bloating. Eating too much soy products, potatoes, melons, beans, etc. can easily produce gas and cause bloating, so be careful to avoid it.

2. Yogurt, especially yogurt containing bifidobacteria, can increase the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, inhibit the reproduction and growth of putrefactive bacteria in the intestines, and is beneficial to maintaining the balance of normal bacteria in the intestines. Therefore, drinking yogurt appropriately is beneficial to the restoration of normal intestinal function and is beneficial to eliminating gastrointestinal flatulence.

3. In terms of medication, multi-enzyme tablets can aid digestion and can be used appropriately. It can also be supplemented with the use of a variety of vitamins and Chinese patent medicines, and Buzhong Yiqi Pills and Metoclopramide can also be used in combination. If you have frequent bowel movements and your stools are sometimes dry, sometimes watery and unformed, you can take antibiotics such as amoxicillin and norfloxacin for 3 to 5 days. This can eliminate the abnormal bacteria in the intestines that are active and ferment and produce gas, causing bloating and unformed stools.

4. 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.

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.
