Causes and Remedies of Bloating Stomach


Bloating Stomach is the problem which most of the persons face in their lives in light or in severe form. It is related to heaviness in the stomach leading to irritations. There are many things which could cause it, but fortunately a little care can prove to be a good remedy.


Bloated stomach is basically a medical term used when a person experiences some sort of heaviness or fullness in the stomach. It is a sort of feeling where a person feels weighted down or overloaded. It seems a very uncomfortable feeling. The question is why does it happen? And how to prevent it? The answer of the second question lies in the first one. If we are successful in diagnosing the reasons of Bloated Stomach we will surely reach to its remedies.

When we question "why does it happen", it provides us many reasons. It may happen due to the gas trapped in the small intestine, which may cause flatulence and irritating stomach ache. It may cause a very uncomfortable feeling if you wear tight clothes. Digestion problem is also one of the main causes of Bloated stomach. Many other reasons may include: intestinal gas, peptic ulcer, constipation, anorexia, overeating, trapped wind, water retention, smoking, indigestion, and Dysmenorrhoea in women. There are some other ailments which could cause Bloated stomach. In women it could cause due to Premenstrual syndrome, Menopause, irritable bowel syndrome, ovarian cancer. It can also be caused due to food intolerance. On the other hand deficiency of the Hydrochloric acid and lack of digestive enzymes in the stomach can cause it. For a healthy stomach we need a good amount of intestinal flora which is a good bacteria present in the gut. It helps in the digestion process, so if it is not in good amount it could cause bloated stomach. Whatever may be the cause, but it results in bad digestion which results in the form of bloating.

Before answering "how to prevent it" I would like to highlight some bloating stomach problems in babies. Bottle feeding cause gas and discomfort in babies due to digest lactose and other nutrients in the milk formula. Many babies are found caught in gas and bloating problems because they gulp air while feeding. To avoid such problems you must burp the baby after feeding. The mother's diet also causes gas in the baby who is on mother feed. Food sensitivity among many children can also cause bloating. Dairy products such as milk, cheese, yogurt also cause it, so introduce them to the children slowly. Also avoid excessive use of beans and broccoli because they are said to cause gas leading to bloating.

Now the question is "how to prevent it". For this you can go for home remedies or could consult a physician. Many herbs such as Sweet Fennel, Pasque Flower alleviates the bloating naturally. On the other hand Burdock (Arctium lappa) is known as the natural cleanser which detoxifies the digestive system. It helps in relieving gas and strengthens the weak digestive system and eliminates Stomach Bloating and constipation. If you still face serious bloating problem you must consult your doctor because it may lead to complications.
