What medicine to take for flatulence

In fact, most of the time, abdominal bloating is a symptom caused by stomach bloating, and this problem of stomach bloating often occurs in patients with poor gastric digestion function. When abdominal bloating occurs, the patient will obviously feel a decrease in appetite. At this time, timely treatment is necessary to restore their normal appetite. So what medicine should you take if you want to treat abdominal bloating?

Some digestive aids can be used to treat bloating

In terms of medication, multi-enzyme tablets 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.

Causes of abdominal bloating

1. Various disease factors

What causes bloating? Some gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcer, gastritis, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, gastrointestinal tumors, etc., can easily accumulate intestinal gas and cause bloating. In addition, people with rhinitis and nasal allergies often breathe through their mouths, which can easily inhale air into the digestive tract and cause bloating.

2. Bad eating habits

Improper eating habits, overeating or overstarvation over time can easily damage the stomach. If you eat too much greasy food on a regular basis, the lipase and protease in your body will be depleted over time, which can easily cause indigestion. Frequent high-protein or high-fat diets will change the intestinal flora and affect the survival of beneficial bacteria.

Eating too fast and not chewing thoroughly will cause the digestive juices and food to not be fully mixed together, and they cannot be digested and decomposed well, causing damage to the intestines. Eating too much gas-producing food, such as bean products, sweet potatoes, etc., these foods are difficult to be absorbed by the small intestine and are only broken down in the large intestine. The bacteria in the large intestine produce a large amount of gas in the process of breaking down food, thus causing bloating.

Drinking too little water or taking too little fiber food can easily cause constipation, increasing the possibility of secondary colon cancer. Many people eat quickly, talk while eating, and sit down immediately after eating, which can easily cause gas to be trapped in the stomach and cause bloating.

3. Bad emotions

We all say that a good mood can protect physical health, and bloating is also closely related to bad mood.

Emotional imbalance, worry and anger can cause gas to accumulate in the stomach. Excessive stress can directly affect intestinal dysfunction, one of which is bloating. Too much stomach acid can damage the gastric mucosa. If the patient is in a negative mood of anxiety, depression, and melancholy for a long time, these emotions will accumulate in the stomach for a long time, which will not only make it difficult to treat abdominal bloating, but will also cause autonomic nervous system dysfunction in the stomach and trigger other stomach diseases. Therefore, patients should focus on regulating the qi in the body and regulating qi and stomach.

4. Irregular lifestyle

Irregular lifestyle, often staying up late, irregular meals, and abnormal hunger and satiety can lead to abnormal intestinal movements and easily cause excessive gastrointestinal burden in the long run.
