Flatulence (increased gas formation in the intestine) is a common phenomenon that occurs when the gas content in the gastrointestinal system increases. This condition is more likely to occur due to eating foods that are high in fiber, or from overeating. Normally, a person releases about 500 ml of gas during the day. We are talking about excessive gas formation when the norm is exceeded and when the exit of gases is accompanied by discomfort and pain.
Causes
The reasons for which there is increased gas formation in the stomach or intestines are various factors. These include insufficient functioning of the digestive system, as well as impaired production of the necessary enzymes, as a result of which food is poorly digested, and its particles are lowered into the lower sections of the gastrointestinal system. The microflora of the lower intestine is not suitable for the complete transformation of food, thus, its decomposition and acidification occur, and as a result - the formation of gas.
Increased gassing in the intestines is also caused by some foods with a high content of dietary fiber. These include legumes (beans, peas), cabbage and apples. Overeating is also the cause of flatulence, as the bacteria necessary for the digestion are not enough for excess food.
A common cause of increased gas formation in the intestine is impaired organ motility. In some cases, flatulence rises as a result of stress.
Symptoms
A symptom of excess gas is bloating. Attacks of pain can occur that are cramping in nature. Occasionally, increased flatulence in the intestines may be accompanied by vomiting and nausea. Belching, diarrhea, or constipation are common. In addition to general discomfort and bursting in the abdomen, rumbling may occur, as well as a feeling of constant transfusion inside.
Increased gassing in the intestine: treatment
To get rid of flatulence, you should take measures to correct your diet. More often than not, this is enough to avoid increased gas formation. If the disorders are caused by diseases of the gastrointestinal system, then immediate treatment is required. So, intestinal biocenosis is restored by taking biologics.
To avoid excessive accumulation of gases, it is necessary to exclude from the menu products that contain coarse fiber. This group includes primarily cabbage and grapes, gooseberries and sorrel, peas, beans, asparagus and beans. Potentially hazardous drinks include soda, kvass, and beer. These products cause fermentation in the intestines.
It is best to focus on dairy products (fermented baked milk, yogurt, kefir). Loose low-fat cereals, especially millet and buckwheat, benefit. It is necessary to take vegetables boiled. Side effects will not bring beets and carrots. You need to eat wheat bread with bran, and boiled meat.
Increased gassing in the intestines will help remove such medications as activated carbon, pancreatin, pepsin, dimethicone, polysorb, sorbex. These funds do not allow toxins, gases and other harmful substances to be absorbed and remove them.
Means of folk medicine will also help with flatulence: infusions of coriander, caraway seeds, dill, mint or chamomile.
The most effective folk remedy that helps relieve increased gas formation in the intestine is dill. The broth is prepared from seeds crushed in a mortar, poured with boiling water and infused for three hours (1 tbsp.spoon per one and a half liters of boiling water). The medicine must be drunk three times a day.
