Bloating: Reasons Your Stomach Bloats by GamaG(m): 12:19am On Jul 04, 2019 |
BLOATING is a symptom that can appear at any age and is associated with gastrointestinal disorders. What are the five reasons why we bloat and how can a person can relieve the symptoms? Stomach bloating: There are a few reasons why a person bloats and it helps to know why. Bloating is when a person feels a fullness and tightness in the abdomen. It is often accompanied by a swollen and unsightly belly. Occasionally a person will feel pain and this can be a sharp, cramping feeling. Other symptoms of bloating are gas and needing to release it by either flatulence or hiccups. Hiccups are harmless and will diminish on their own, they also help to release the gas that is in the digestive tract before it moves down to the intestines causing more bloating. Five possible reasons of why a person experiences bloating are: Overeating Is probably the most common cause of bloating. It creates a feeling of being stuffed and is due to the excessive amount of food in the belly. Eating too quickly also causes bloating as the amount of air swallowed causes gas to build up. Gastric distension Gastric distension relates to abnormal levels of bacteria in the small intestine and when there is an imbalance of microqogransims it causes a person to bloat. Food allergy When a person eats foods that they are intolerant to, it causes excess gas production which makes them bloat. Food intolerance is when a person has difficulty digesting certain foods. Irritable bowel syndrome IBS is directly linked to the digestive system. A person who has IBS has difficulty digesting certain foods that either pass through the gut too quickly or too slowly. When the digestive system does not operate smoothly, it causes a person to bloat. Celiac disease This is when the body responds to gluten, a protein in wheat, barley and rye, and attacks the lining of the intestine. This causes diarrhoea, pain in the belly and lots of gas which makes a person bloat. |
