The formation of gases in the intestine is quite normal. They should be present in small amounts in any organism. Some of them come with eructations, some - through the anal passage, and something is processed by bacteria. Treatment of bloating may be required for various reasons, and pay attention to it mainly when symptoms of flatulence become too obvious, and the discomfort caused by the problem is unbearable.
The main causes of bloating
Gases in the intestine begin to accumulate against the background of disturbances in the digestive process. Almost always, flatulence is accompanied by such unpleasant symptoms as colic, a feeling of bursting, swelling. Sometimes patients can complain of nausea. And the most terrible for girls - because of bloating, the stomach is markedly rounded and increases in size.
Often, treatment of night and day bloating is required for a simple reason - because of too much air getting into the body with food. This happens when people eat hastily or strongly experience during meals.
Another common problem is malnutrition. In the diet of most modern people there are so many products that do not fit together at all. Due to the fact that they can not be properly digested, active gas formation and, accordingly, flatulence begin.
But the treatment of bloating, eructation and constipation may be required for other reasons:
- In women, flatulence very often begins against the background of active multiplication of fungi of the genus Candida. It is these microorganisms that cause thrush . They can easily "travel" on all systems and settle in various organs. Best fungi feel in a weakened body - after taking a course of antibiotics, for example.
- Knowingly doctors do not recommend drinking too much soda. "Prickly" drinks can also cause flatulence.
- Some patients are treated with gas for bloating due to pancreatitis . Because of the disease, the pancreas does not produce enough of the enzymes necessary to break down the food. As a result, gases are always formed, regardless of what the person is eating.
- The problem may be in the intestinal obstruction. Call her good and malignant tumors, polyps.
- Soda is an excellent cure for heartburn, but it also has a side effect. The substance neutralizes the acidic environment and creates favorable conditions for gas formation.
