My stomach whips up: what are the causes and what to do about it?

Everyone at least once in his life suffered from flatulence and bloating. And, traditionally, we go to the pharmacy to buy a medicine that can quickly and effectively rid of the delicate problem. But if the belly belittles, the problem can be much more serious, and the simple taking of tablets may not be enough.

Why can stomach stomach?

1. If flatulence appears only occasionally, then most likely the problem is in the products that you have recently consumed. Too intense formation of gases in the intestines can affect legumes, cabbage, some varieties of apples and soda. This also applies to food, which causes in the digestive tract fermentation processes: kvass, beer and black bread.
2. Constant bloating may appear in adults who are accustomed to eating on the go or talking while eating. So a person captures too much air, which accumulates in the digestive tract and causes the formation of gases. Also, the reason for the gases can be too long chewing gum.
3. Diseases of the digestive system can also cause flatulence. These include gastritis, cholecystitis, pancreatitis and dysbacteriosis. Food that has not been fully digested by the stomach, accumulates in the intestines and causes the formation of gases.
4. If the belly puchit after a nervous strain, then know that stress can be the cause. When we are nervous, the muscles of the intestine contract, the gases in it linger and the stomach begins to puchit.
5. Surgery in the abdominal cavity. After surgery, food is more difficult to pass through the intestines. Hence, excess gases are taken.
6. Pregnant women may also experience flatulence and bloating. This is perfectly normal, as the female body is completely rebuilt in the hormonal plane, which affects the formation of gases.
