Bloating, gas, heaviness in the stomach -periodically with these unpleasant symptoms are faced by so many people. At someone similar signs arise very seldom, and someone lives with them practically all life. However, doctors - gastroenterologists do not recommend to leave such phenomena without attention, because sometimes this may indicate a more serious violation in the body. In addition, sometimes the body in this way the human body can react to a certain type of food - a little omelet, or a milkshake, or ice cream - and the result will not be long in coming. The severity in the stomach after eating often occurs when a person has an individual intolerance to dairy products. And, alas, but as if a sick person did not like dairy products, he should give them up. In the event that a person suffers from lactose intolerance. Lactose is milk sugar, which is found in dairy products. And after their use in humans, and there are heaviness in the abdomen, increased gas formation and even painful sensations. Unfortunately, most people, growing up, face this problem. However, the severity of this problem can be very different. And the older the person becomes, the more pronounced his dislike of various dairy products. Doctors explain this by the following factor: for digesting milk sugar, an enzyme such as lactose is needed. And with age, the human body produces less and less of this enzyme. As a result, milk sugar remains undigested, which means that it undergoes a fermentation process. It is as a result of this process of fermentation that an excessive amount of gases is formed. But it is because of the gases and there is a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. In addition to milk and dairy products, products such as honey, yeast dough, oats, barley, all legumes without exception, as well as some fruits can lead to increased gas production. A person experiences a feeling of discomfort and heaviness in the stomach. In addition, one should not discard such a provoking feeling of discomfort as the occurrence of food reactions. As a rule, food allergy is an extremely expressive reflection of the state of the entire human immune system. As a rule, if discomfort and bloating are caused by a food allergic reaction, you can still observe such reactions as the occurrence of an allergic rhinitis and skin rash - allergic urticaria. Especially often, intolerance to certain foods is greatly enhanced if the human digestive system is hypersensitive. In medicine, this phenomenon is called "irritable bowel syndrome". By the way, this syndrome and itself, without intolerance to certain foods, often leads to the appearance of gravity in the stomach and intestines. In addition, a person suffering from bloating should closely monitor not only what he eats, but also how he takes food. If it is too fast, air, together with food, first gets into the esophagus, then into the stomach and intestines. And this, in the end, leads to the fact that a person has a feeling of heaviness and bloating. In the event that increased gas formation and bloating appear in a person systematically, and even more so in combination with pain syndrome, he should consult a doctor as soon as possible, because the same symptoms may be accompanied by some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Often quite serious, for example, such as: blockage of the urinary tract, acute intestinal obstruction, cholelithiasis, acute appendicitis.
Treatment of such conditions
In the event that the doctor did not find the patienta person of any serious diseases, it is possible to fight with bloating at home. In order to avoid the occurrence of such conditions and to facilitate their flow, the sick person must observe several simple rules:
- More traffic
Try to move as much as possible. Of course, do not rape your body with excessive physical exertion, but remember that movement greatly enhances and accelerates the intestinal motility, and stimulates the production of those hormones that at times increase it - peristalsis. All this leads to the fact that the intestine works much more efficiently. And it is absolutely not necessary to run into the gym - it will be enough just to take a walk after eating.
- Means for reducing gas generation
Systematically use the tools thatreduce the tendency to increased gas production, and also facilitate the digestive tract as a whole. In pharmacies, you can find a fairly wide range of pharmacological agents that have a similar effect. However, not all of them are as harmless as they seem at first glance. Most of them have various side effects and contraindications, so the medicine should be selected only by a doctor, taking into account all indications and individual characteristics of the organism of each person specifically taken. On its own you can use only herbal remedies - chamomile, peppermint, dill. They also very effectively prevent the formation of gases in the intestine. However, the herbs can be used only if the sick person reliably knows that he does not have a tendency to have an allergic reaction.
Proper nutrition with increased gas production
As our readers learned, from nutritionvery, very much depends. A properly formulated diet can minimize the appearance of a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen and flatulence. Try to include in your diet as much food as possible, rich in dietary fiber. It is the dietary fibers that soften the contents of the intestine and eliminate the tendency to excessive gas formation. Minimize the use of strong tea, chocolate and coffee. All these products lead to the very excessive excitability of the nervous system, which provokes the appearance of a feeling of heaviness in the stomach. In addition, try not to abuse those foods that contain large amounts of fat. Fats also provoke a violation of normal digestion. Pay attention to the temperature of the food you eat - too cold food, like too hot, should not be consumed, as this leads to a significant irritation of the mucosa of the entire digestive tract. As a rule, if the severity in the stomach is not accompanied by any serious concomitant diseases, the systematic observance of all necessary measures will help reduce discomfort at times, and even completely get rid of them.
