Gastroenterologist, Candidate of Medical Sciences, Gemotest Laboratory specialist Ekaterina Kashukh talked about the possible causes of bloating and ways to deal with it. The expert said this in an interview with the newspaper. “News”.
According to Kashuh, gas ranks first among all digestive system disorders. At the same time, bloating is often accompanied by other symptoms, especially stool disorders and abdominal pain.
The expert noted that bloating is often not a sign of disease, but is associated with malnutrition (consuming large amounts of cabbage, legumes, beer, dairy products (if you have lactose intolerance)). Additionally, rushing while eating can also lead to increased gas formation, because a person swallows large amounts of air while eating while running.
On the other hand, bloating can also be one of the symptoms of intestinal and other organ diseases. It can indicate acute intestinal infections, non-infectious inflammatory diseases and oncological processes in the body.
Bacterial overgrowth syndrome is often the cause of bloating. Meanwhile, bacteria that normally live in the large intestine begin to actively multiply in the small intestine.
The expert said that if there is an increase in bloating and gas formation, you should definitely consult a therapist or gastroenterologist. To prevent gas formation, you should limit the consumption of foods that cause increased gas formation.
