What should I do if I have been bloating recently?

With the advancement of science, the variety of food in the world is increasing, so foodies are determined to try all the delicacies in the world. Eating more than a dozen kinds of food a day can often lead to some physical problems. The most common symptoms are abdominal distension and abdominal pain. Some people suffer from abdominal bloating for several days, which is very painful. So, why have I been suffering from bloating recently? What should I do?

A normal person may have a small amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract, about 150 ml. When too much air is swallowed into the stomach or due to poor digestion and absorption function, too much gas is produced in the gastrointestinal tract, and the gas in the intestine cannot be discharged from the body through the anus, it can cause abdominal distension. 1. Under normal food fermentation conditions, there are a large number of bacteria in the lower ileum and ascending colon. If the chyme stays in this section of the intestine for too long for some reason, the bacteria may cause the chyme to ferment, produce a large amount of gas, and cause abdominal distension. 2. Inhaling air: When eating, you inhale a lot of air due to talking or bad eating habits, which causes intestinal bloating.

3. Gas absorption disorder in the gastrointestinal tract Under normal circumstances, most of the gas in the abdominal cavity is absorbed by the blood vessels in the intestinal wall and then exhaled out of the body through the lungs. In some diseases, blood circulation in the intestinal wall is impaired, affecting the absorption of gas in the intestinal cavity, thus causing abdominal bloating. 4. Obstruction of gas discharge in the gastrointestinal tract. Due to certain reasons, the intestinal motility is weakened or disappears, so the gas in the intestinal cavity cannot be discharged from the body, thus causing abdominal distension.
