Bloating. Treatment begins with finding out the reasons.

You can feel discomfort in the abdomen not only after a festive feast. Statistics argue that this phenomenon occurs in every tenth inhabitant of the globe and is not always due to overeating. Constant bloating leads to marked swelling and large accumulation of gases in the abdominal cavity. There are cramping pains that fade away as the gases come off. Sometimes they are so strong that they are accompanied by tingling in the heart, cold sweat and even fainting.

If the abdominal swelling is abnormal, treatment should be started immediately. The cause of its occurrence may be poor absorption of gases by intestinal walls, but sometimes this symptom indicates the presence of heart failure, developing liver cirrhosis, lesions of the thick and small intestine, as well as other diseases of the digestive system. Before going to a specialist and conducting a thorough examination, we'll find out what other causes can cause bloating.

All the fault may be impaired motor activity of the intestine, stagnation in the circulation and even mental disorders. Regardless of why there was abdominal swelling, the treatment begins with a diet that excludes fresh bread, coarse fiber, digestible carbohydrates and starch-rich foods. Gases are absorbed by activated carbon, Smecta and white clay. If there is a lack of enzymes, it is compensated for by taking special medications. At a dysbacteriosis it is necessary to restore a normal microflora. Here, probiotics are prescribed, replenishing the number of beneficial bacteria, and prebiotics that promote their better reproduction. If pain is present, it is necessary to take drugs that relieve muscle spasms. They are No-shpa, Papaverin, Analgin, Spazmalgon, Ketanov, and others.
