Patient's question:
I have had abdominal pain for a long time. It often gets a bit better after I ramble on, but the pain still persists. On the left side of my lower ribs, I often feel as if something is pressing against me, even to the point where it hurts the skin. What are the treatments for gastrointestinal gas?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause gastrointestinal bloating, apart from issues within the gastrointestinal tract itself. Liver, gallbladder, pancreas, peritoneal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, and other conditions can also lead to gastrointestinal bloating. Additionally, during the treatment of bloating, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet, avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
