Bloating is a very unpleasant sensation caused by an accumulation of gas in the digestive tract. Not only is it physically felt like a bursting, accompanied by pain in the digestive system, but it can also lead to the release of these very gases at the most inopportune time.
In general, no one will deny that this problem must be solved quickly and seriously.
One of such ambulances in this delicate problem is the drug Redugaz. Reviews, description, composition, indications and contraindications for this tool, read below.
Causes of gas in the digestive tract
First you need to determine the causes of bloating, that is, the formation of gases in the intestine. This happens for several reasons:
- dry food;
- quick snack;
- swallowing air with food;
- the use of fermentative foods;
- some diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- imbalance of intestinal microflora;
- drinking gas drinks;
These are the main causes of bubbles in the digestive system, subsequently manifested by bloating, the appearance of belching, a feeling of bursting from the inside, pain, seething sounds in the stomach.
It turns out that in order to eliminate gases, it is necessary to eliminate air bubbles in the digestive system. The components that contain the Redugaz tablets just have these properties.
Structure
Since "Redugas", in fact, is a dietary supplement, and not a medicine, its composition is rather sparing, selected from natural and maximally safe components.
The first active ingredient in this dietary supplement is worth mentioning simethicone, which refers to carminative drugs. It has the properties of an antifoam, that is, it destroys the shell of air bubbles, so that they burst. Air from the vesicles is absorbed in the intestine and is quickly eliminated from the body without causing physical discomfort.
The instructions for use attached to the Redugaz product do not contain contraindications for simethicone, however, intestinal obstruction should be attributed to them, otherwise the gases will be difficult to stand out and they will accumulate in the intestines, causing even greater discomfort.
The second most important component is inulin, a natural polysaccharide often found in vegetable crops. Most of it is found in Jerusalem artichoke, chicory, garlic, onion. Since inulin belongs to prebiotics, it is absorbed only by the lower parts of the digestive tract, i.e. the intestines. This feature makes it possible to more actively involve the intestinal microflora in the process of inulin absorption, which then becomes more healthy and active.
