Why do I have stomachache when I eat too fast? This is what's going on

In recent years, as people's pace of life has accelerated, many people have felt the preciousness of time. Therefore, most people eat in a hurry to gain more time to rest. However, some people report that they experience stomach pain when they eat too fast. What is going on? In fact, stomach pain caused by eating too fast is caused by damage to the gastric mucosa.

1. If eating too fast or eating too much causes damage to the gastric mucosa and stomach pain symptoms occur, omeprazole, bismuth pectin, etc. can be given to protect the gastric mucosa. If necessary, a gastroscopy can be performed for detailed examination and diagnosis.

2. What to do if you have stomachache after eating too fast

1. Relieve stomach pressure

If you have indigestion, insufficient gastric motility and other problems caused by improper diet, you can go to the hospital to get some stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to relieve stomach pressure. Or take a proper walk to help digestion of the intestines. After that, it is best to eat easily digestible food. It is best not to eat at night, just drink a little porridge.

3. Eat some hawthorn to promote digestion

When we eat too much, after a period of appropriate relief, we can eat some foods such as hawthorn slices to promote digestion. First of all, the reason for choosing it is that it does not increase in size like other fruits, and does not have much effect on relieving abdominal distension. Secondly, hawthorn slices do have a certain ability to promote digestion.

Note: Don’t eat too many hawthorn slices, just a few slices are enough, don’t eat them as a meal.

4 Massage Methods to Relieve Pain

(1) Massage Neiguan

The Neiguan point is located in the middle of the wrist, about three horizontal fingers (the width of three fingers put together) away from the transverse wrist crease, and is located between the two tendons. Use your thumbs to massage and circle the area 36 times, alternating between your hands. When pain occurs, increase the number to 200 times.

(2) Press Zusanli

The Zusanli point is located three inches below the edge of the knee (equivalent to the width of four fingers put together), between the tibia and fibula. Press the Zusanli point with the tips of your thumbs, 36 times at normal times. When it hurts, you can rub it about 200 times, with a slightly heavier pressure.

( 3) Press the abdomen

Cross your hands, with the right hand on top and the left hand on the bottom for men; the left hand on top and the right hand on the bottom for women. With the navel as the center, rub the abdomen to draw the Tai Chi diagram, 36 circles clockwise and 36 circles counterclockwise. This method can relieve pain and bloating and increase appetite.

5. Go to hospital in serious cases

If the stomach pain symptoms persist for a long time after eating too much, or even in severe cases, it is recommended to go to the hospital.

The symptoms of overeating may include abdominal bloating, nausea, and local pain. In the process of overeating, gastric perforation may occur, which may be confused with the above symptoms, and it is easy to delay the disease. Therefore, if we find that the symptoms of abdominal bloating and pain have not been relieved, or even worsen, and other methods of promoting digestion are ineffective, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment.
