Patient's question:
My son has recently lost his appetite. I asked him if he was sneaking food outside, but he told me he felt his stomach was full and couldn't eat anything. Besides passing gas frequently, his symptoms are similar to the bloating after eating soybeans, but my son hasn't eaten things that are easily bloating like soybeans. What causes bloating in children?Doctor's answer:
If the child experiences bloating and gas again, this situation should be considered related to poor supplementation, abdominal cold, or the food consumed being difficult to digest. It is important to adjust the dietary habits again, try to eat more vegetables and fruits, and consume more foods rich in dietary fiber. Avoid foods with excessive protein. At the same time, pay attention to appropriate exercise to enhance gastrointestinal motility. Oral enzyme tablets and lactobacillus preparations can be considered for supplementary treatment, which is beneficial for stabilizing symptoms.
