Methods 1: Immediately relieve abdominal distension.
1, exhaust in time. In order to avoid embarrassment, many people forcibly prevent their bodies from exhausting. But exhaust is an important function of the body, which can help us release the gas produced during digestion. Stopping your body from venting will only make you more miserable and uncomfortable. Instead of never farting, find a comfortable place to put it. If you suddenly feel bloated or want to fart in public, find a public toilet to relieve your discomfort.
If you find it difficult to expel gas from your body, try different postures. Lie down and relax your muscles until the pressure in the abdominal cavity and intestines is released.
Walking around, walking fast or going up and down stairs can also help you get out of the air.
2, hot compress. Lying down and putting a thermos bottle or hot compress bag on your stomach can quickly relieve bloating caused by gas accumulation. The temperature and weight of hot water bag and hot compress bag can help you expel gas from your body and slowly relieve abdominal pressure.
3. Drink mint tea or chamomile tea. Both mint and chamomile contain ingredients that help digestion and relieve abdominal pain. You can buy mint or chamomile tea bags, or use fresh mint leaves and dried chrysanthemum. Make tea with hot water, drink it while it is hot, and soon you will feel abdominal distension relieved and gas discharged.
4. Take active carbon supplements. Activated carbon can help some people relieve abdominal distension and relieve spasm caused by abdominal distension. Read the instructions on the package and take the recommended dosage.
Before taking any nutritional supplements, please ask your doctor. People who are taking certain drugs should pay more attention.
5. Eat garlic. Garlic also contains ingredients that stimulate the intestines, relieve flatulence and help exhaust. You can buy garlic supplements at the health food store. But the effect of fresh garlic comes faster. Take garlic soup for example. Warm soup can make garlic enter your digestive system quickly. Chop a few cloves of garlic, then stir-fry garlic with olive oil, add vegetable soup or chicken soup, simmer for a few minutes, and then eat it while it is hot.
Don't mix garlic with other flatulence-prone foods. In order to give full play to the role of garlic, it is best to eat garlic alone or make soup.
6. Take over-the-counter drugs to relieve flatulence. If you already feel bloating, then the medicine to prevent bloating will have no effect. Choose drugs that can eliminate bubbles and relieve gastrointestinal pressure. Non-prescription drugs containing dimethyl silicone oil can relieve flatulence.
Activated carbon is also said to help exhaust. Health food stores and pharmacies sell them.
Method 2: Change living habits.
1, don't eat food that makes your body produce too much gas. Carbohydrates that are not fully digested in the small intestine are fermented by bacteria in the colon, which will produce gas. The food that causes this phenomenon affects everyone to varying degrees. If you often want to fart or feel bloating, you should try to avoid the following foods: beans and other beans. Leguminous plants such as black beans, kidney beans, Lima beans and peas are easy to produce gas. They contain oligosaccharides, which are sugars that cannot be broken down by the body. These undecomposed sugars will produce a lot of gas in the small intestine.
Fruits and vegetables rich in fiber. Fiber has many benefits, but it can't be digested, which is one of the chief culprits of flatulence. Try to find out which fiber-rich fruits and vegetables have the greatest influence on you. Compared with green leafy vegetables used in salads, cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and cauliflower are more likely to produce gas.
Dairy products made from milk. Milk contains lactose. Many people have symptoms of lactose intolerance. Avoid milk, cheese, ice cream and other dairy products made from lactose-containing milk. It is said that goat milk is easier to digest. Try to use it instead of milk.
Artificial additives. Sorbitol, mannitol and other artificial sweeteners can make many people bloat.
Soda and other carbonated drinks. Bubbles in soda and carbonated drinks may cause bloating after entering the stomach.
People who are lactose intolerant should not eat dairy products. People who are lactose intolerant may feel bloating and pain from eating dairy products. It is best to choose lactose-free dairy substitutes. For example, you can drink soy milk or almond milk instead.
3. Limit the intake of single carbohydrates and sugars. After eating a single carbohydrate and sugar, you may feel abdominal distension is particularly serious. This is because your body can't digest them well. If this happens, sticking to a sugar-free diet can alleviate the symptoms. Don't use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. They can also cause bloating.
4. People who are allergic or intolerant to gluten should not eat gluten. Gluten is a kind of protein, which exists in some cereal products. People who are sensitive to gluten will feel bloated and want to fart after eating gluten. The best way to avoid bloating and venting is not to eat gluten-containing food. Bread, baked goods, pasta, spices and other foods generally contain gluten. Read the package and choose the products marked gluten-free.
5. Change the order of eating. When you start eating, your body will naturally secrete hydrochloric acid which can decompose protein. If you eat carbohydrates first, the hydrochloric acid secreted by your body will be consumed before the protein you eat later enters the digestive system. Undigested protein will naturally ferment, leading to abdominal distension and exhaust. We should eat some meat, fish and other protein first, instead of bread and salad first.
If your body still can't digest protein well, consider buying and taking hydrochloric acid supplements in health food stores. Take it after meals (that is, during food digestion).
6. chew slowly. Chewing is the first step in digesting food. By this time, your teeth and saliva have begun to break down food. Chewing slowly can reduce the workload of the stomach, thus reducing the chances of food fermentation and gas production. Chew each bite of food 20 times before swallowing. Remember to put down your chopsticks at every bite and give yourself enough time to chew.
Eating slowly can prevent you from eating too fast and swallowing too much air. Burping and bloating will be reduced.
7. Eat fermented food. Beneficial flora is an indispensable part of normal digestion. People have been eating foods containing probiotics for hundreds of years. Probiotics in yogurt are common bacteria that can help digestion. A Russian food called Kefir is also a very digestible fermented dairy product.
Pickles or other fermented vegetables are also a good choice.
8. Take digestive enzymes. Digestive enzyme supplements can help you break down indigestible components that cause flatulence, such as beans, fiber and fat. After determining the type of food that causes abdominal distension, choose the appropriate digestive enzyme supplement. If you can't digest beans, you can try Minon, which contains enzymes that digest oligosaccharides.
Digestive enzymes need to be taken before meals, not after meals. So that the body can digest the food that first enters the digestive system.
Method 3: Treat digestive dysfunction.
1. Pay attention to the frequency of indigestion. Note the frequency and severity of flatulence. Occasionally flatulence is a natural thing, especially after eating beans, ice cream and other foods that are prone to flatulence. If flatulence is accompanied by abdominal pain, or severe flatulence often occurs, then changing your eating habits may not solve your problem. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can affect the colon. Patients are prone to convulsions or diarrhea after eating certain foods.
Celiac disease is a digestive system disease caused by eating gluten. Gluten is a kind of protein, which is commonly found in bread or other foods containing wheat, barley and rye.
Crohn's disease is a kind of gastrointestinal inflammation, and improper treatment may lead to serious consequences.
2. Seek medical attention in time. If you have abdominal distension with abdominal pain every day, or abdominal distension has affected your daily life, please ask your doctor about the possible causes and countermeasures. Abdominal distension is usually related to diet. You may need to tell the doctor about your daily diet and living habits.
Tips Regular exercise can not only relieve bloating, but also reduce the number of bloating. It is recommended to take a walk, jog or swim every day to help the body exhaust.
Eat more bananas, cantaloupes and mangoes instead of soda.
Try to lie flat and raise your legs.
Warning not to fast certain foods without consulting a doctor.
