Bloating, the symptoms of which are familiar to many, is a common and unpleasant phenomenon. The main reasons are simple and banal. In young people, bloating in the lower abdomen is observed due to the use of carbonated drinks, as well as when swallowing air during meals.
It's no secret that most of us talk while eating. It became normal to have lunch and at the same time exchange phrases with friends or chat on the phone. But it would be worth remembering the well-known: "When I eat, I am deaf and dumb." Our intestines do not always cope with the amount of gas that has come in with food, hence the discomfort in the stomach.
Feeling of fullness in the abdomen, squeezing pain, shortness of breath, palpitations - this is bloating. Symptoms are aggravated if the body receives food rich in fiber or easily digestible carbohydrates. Such carbohydrates are found in abundance in sweets and flour products, and fiber in vegetables (potatoes, cabbage, legumes) and black bread.
Often causes overlap, causing bloating. Symptoms:belching, rumbling in the stomach, hiccups, gas - bring a lot of problems to a person. In this condition, there are often pains in the intestines, squeezing pains in the chest and abdomen, radiating to the lower back.
Flatulence or bloating, the symptoms of which interfere with the normal life of a person, requires a revision of the usual diet. An integrated approach to the problem is not to get rid of the symptoms, but to treat the disease that leads to the accumulation of gases. But in order to alleviate severe pain, you have to take pills for bloating. You can reduce the formation of gas with activated carbon or Smekta.
All other drugs are prescribed by a doctor after determining the root cause. If bloating is due to the presence of intestinal infections, then for the treatment of flatulence, drugs "Hilak-forte", "Linex" or "Acilact" are often prescribed. As a preventive measure and for the rapid removal of gases from the body, the drugs "Espumizan", "Motilium", "Disflatil" are taken.
In infants, gas and bloating cause severe pain. You can identify them by the hysterical crying of the child after eating, pulling the legs to the stomach.
This happens due to intestinal weakness and occurs in 70% of newborns. For such children, pediatricians recommend taking drugs based on natural raw materials: dill or fennel. Dill water "Plantex" will save the baby from pain, and mom - from worries and sleepless nights.
However, only an integrated approach will helpstop the process of gas formation in the intestines. First of all, it is worth reviewing the diet, and nursing mothers should carefully monitor what foods the child reacts to. The diet should include dairy products, cereals, especially buckwheat, carrot and beetroot salads. The main principle for the smooth functioning of the intestines is a balanced and nutritious diet. Physical activity and sports will also help in the fight against flatulence.
