What to do if your stomach swells after eating

I believe that all of my friends must have experienced bloating after indigestion. Chinese medicine believes that the cause of this situation is directly related to weak spleen and stomach. If you want to improve the bloating after eating, you must first strengthen the spleen and nourish the stomach. However, nourishing the stomach is a long-term project and the problem cannot be solved all at once. In order to help you solve the problem quickly, this article makes the following analysis on what to do if you have bloating after eating.

(1) Directly identifying the primary disease causing abdominal distension and conducting targeted treatment can often achieve good results.

(2) Symptomatic treatment

① Laxative: If you have constipation, you can squeeze enema or glycerin suppository into the rectum. This will expel stool and gas and reduce pressure in the colon. If defecation is unsuccessful, an anal tube can be inserted through the anus to the sigmoid colon to allow intestinal gas to be expelled from the body.

② Gastrointestinal decompression: A gastric tube is inserted into the gastrointestinal tract through the nasal cavity or oral cavity, and then a suction and blood pressure reduction device is connected to the outside of the tube. This device can suck out the gas and liquid in the gastrointestinal tract, relieve the pressure of the gastrointestinal tract, and allow the gastrointestinal muscles to rest and wait for recovery of function.

③If the above two methods do not work and there is no evidence of intestinal obstruction, drugs such as neostigmine or phentolamine can be used. Neostigmine can inhibit cholesterase, enhance intestinal motility, and promote flatulence. The dosage is 0.045-0.06 mg/kg body weight each time, subcutaneously injected. Phentolamine can increase lung ventilation, excite intestinal smooth muscle, promote intestinal motility, and relieve abdominal distension. The dosage is 0.2-0.5 mg/kg body weight each time, subcutaneously injected.

④Fasting, intravenous infusion, and correction of electrolyte imbalance. If abdominal distension is caused by low blood potassium concentration, potassium chloride can be given intravenously.

⑤After the abdominal distension disappears, you can take multi-enzyme tablets and probiotic preparations.

⑥ Avoid eating gas-producing foods, such as beans and potatoes.

To sum up, you should know what to do if you have bloating after eating. In fact, for people who want to solve the problem of bloating after eating, it is best not to eat too much. You can also drink more beverages containing active lactic acid bacteria, which is very helpful for improving the intestinal environment and solving the problem of bloating after eating. Another simple way is to exercise to help digestion.
