Gases in the intestines

An unpleasant embarrassment caused by accidentally spoiled air, occurred with almost every person. But when the gases in the intestines, the causes of which can be diverse, are constantly disturbed, then the problem should be solved globally.

Products provokers

Often the causes of the formation of excessive gas in the intestines are simple and commonplace - overeating, drinking carbonated drinks and talking while eating. The fact is that the stomach does not completely digest some carbohydrates, coarse fiber and starch. As a result, the remnants of substances from the small intestine enter the colon, where, under the action of bacteria, hydrogen and carbon dioxide are released, which are subsequently expelled through the anus.

The products provocateurs flatulence include:

• beans;
• beans;
• lentils;
• vegetables: all kinds of cabbage, onions, mushrooms, artichokes and asparagus;
• whole grain cereals and bran;
• milk and dairy products;
• carbonated drinks;
• fruit juices, especially apple and pear;
• raisins;
• apples;
• prunes

In addition, the accumulation of gases in the intestines can occur due to the rapid chewing of food, talking with food, swallowing air and the use of chewing gum, made on the basis of sucrose and fructose or sorbitol.

Digestive disorders

But if the diet is balanced, but the person is experiencing strong gases in the intestines, you should pay attention to other reasons related to the malfunction of certain organs and systems.

Flatulence can be an unpleasant symptom of one of the diseases of the digestive tract. These include:

• celiac disease is an immune-related disease that causes villous atrophy in the colon;
• dumping syndrome - complications after surgery in the stomach;
• food allergies and idiosyncrasy of certain enzymes and foods;
• gastroesophageal reflux disease - a chronic disease of the stomach, characterized by constant discharge into the small intestine of the gastric juice;
• gastroparesis - a decrease in the activity of the muscular system of the stomach;
• irritable bowel syndrome - a violation in the work of a number of functions of the large intestine;
• peptic ulcer, including chronic gastritis.

All of these causes cause persistent gases in the intestines and can lead to serious health complications. It is impossible to determine one or another disease on your own. Therefore, if you suspect a violation of the functions of the gastrointestinal tract, you should consult a doctor and be examined.

What the doctor ordered

The determination of the cause and the choice of the method for treating excessive gas formation in the intestine will largely depend on the results of laboratory tests and analyzes. To do this, the doctor may prescribe a colonoscopy or gastroscopy, ask for general blood, stool and urine tests.

Absorbents that are designed to absorb gases, irritants and toxins from the intestines are temporarily prescribed. In conjunction with them, you may need selective tools that allow you to save vitamins. In case of violation of intestinal motility, laxative or antidiarrheal drugs are prescribed. In case of severe spasms, bloating and flatulence, spasmolitics will help relieve painful symptoms that reduce the contraction of the muscles of the large intestine.

Treatment of the causes of gas in the intestines is almost always in taking certain medications and nutritional supplements. But remember that any drugs from the pharmacy, even if they are sold without a prescription, can be taken only on the recommendation of a doctor and in strictly specified doses.
