Other names: meteorism, increased passage of gas, winds

Bloating is referred to collectively exit gases and unpleasant feeling of fullness in the abdomen,which is kind of bloated and can be painful. This sensation usually emerges after eating certain foods (legumes, cereals, salty foods, sweets …), and sometimes can cause bloating disease abdominal organs – intestines, gallbladder, pancreas and liver.

The intestines are designed to break down food (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) for even simpler components (monosaccharides, fatty acids and amino acids). The bloating may occur in the absence or insufficient activity of one of the enzymes that cause these disruptive happening. Impair the absorption of some components is then called malabsorption syndrome – for example, celiac disease, lactase deficiency, bile acid malabsorption like. Flatulence is then usually preceded by omitting the component of food that causes trouble (for celiac gluten-free diet, deficiency called irritable bowel syndrome. It is a nervous conditional increase tension intestines, where normal intestinal content is perceived as excessive. at the same time may lead to an increased formation of gas. If you have long such feelings of bloating unrelated to a particular food, see a doctor that has prescribed drugs to control difficulties, unfortunately, irritable bowel syndrome lasts a lifetime and can not somehow heal.

Besides the intestines can be disabled and other abdominal organs – in the liver can be a hepatitis infection, in the gallbladder gallstones or cholecystitis.

Treatment always fall into the hands of a doctor. Avoid in any case, fatty foods!

Flatulence, flatulence is associated with flatulence (wind). Professionally, this condition called meteorism or flatulence. Flatulence can bother you especially psychologically, if you’re somewhere in the company. It is, however, dampen drugs and remember that it is always better wind than its opposite – a pledge flatulence, which is a warning sign of some diseases.

causes of flatulence

Even flatulence may be a symptom of disease often associated with diarrhea and abdominal pain(sometimes spastic). Mostly it is a fault in the small or large intestine, but can cause the same symptoms and gall! In the small intestine, the breakdown of food into simpler substances, which easily penetrate the bowel wall. If any of the enzymes, causing the decomposition is missing, then the non-decomposed food enters the colon where it is digested in the colon bacteria normally present.Bacteria, however, “can not so smoothly,” because of their activities produce and gaseous substances (methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide) escaping then known as the “winds”. For enzymatic fault with this phenomenon can be found in the so-called. Lactase deficiency (milk intolerance for lack of enzyme activity) and other so-called sprue. Malabsorption (poor absorption rate of food).

More often than not experience this phenomenon when eating indigestible foods – legumes (beans, peas, lentils, etc.), Cabbage and any fruit (stone fruit, pears). Our body for these food components have the appropriate enzymes, and so we should not surprised after eating increased passage of gas as a result of the recurrence of intestinal bacteria.

Other times gases originates from the intestine, but swallow of air (nitrogen, oxygen), which is the vast majority absorbed in the intestine, but part escapes in the form of winds. This type of flatulence also well known, when a drink or other mineral bubble drinks (carbonated).

Therapy

Flatulence therefore arises after consuming certain foods, they are enough to take your tablet simethicone (Espumisan), or the manifestation of a disease of the digestive system. We have already said about enzyme disorder that is treated by diet – bypassing the food component that is causing the problem – the lack of lactase and also the administration of capsules containing Lactobacillus acidophilus. There are also other causes flatulence: They may be diverticulosis colon(pouch, which holds the food), stones and inflammation of the gallbladder, liver disease and, rarely, of the pancreas (there usually dominate the other and worse symptoms) and irritable bowel syndrome, which is disorder of the nervous control of the intestine, where a man must be a feeling of bloating, gas but in fact are not leaving. It is an increased tonus of the intestine, when a normal intestinal content is perceived as excessive. Sometimes, however, with irritable bowel gas actually create and leave.

The disease is not serious, but hard to treat, in addition to drugs that act on gut serves as various psychotropic drugs and in some cases it is not unreasonable additional psychotherapy.

To alleviate the symptoms of bloating, try Espumisan (counteracts excessive formation and accumulation of gases), it also helps regular physical activity. Flatulence when but fail to exit gas, it is possible to use vegetable oils (camomile, anise, fennel, cumin, etc.) As an aromatic water (aqua karminativa) or teas. If you suffer from problems in the long term (and therefore not accidental ingestion “dumpling – pork gaping”), discuss this with your doctor!
