Patient's question:
My colleague has been unconsciously pressing his stomach these days. When I asked him what was wrong, he said he felt a gas in his abdomen and had a sour stomach, feeling uncomfortable. How should one regulate bloating?Doctor's answer:
Indigestion, insufficient gastric motility, emotional tension, overeating, and catching a cold are all factors that may lead to stomach bloating. Take an adequate amount of ginger, cut into small cubes, dry it in the sun to about 60% moisture, fry it dry in an iron pan, and roll it into flour. Take one spoonful each day with hot water. It can treat bloating. Chewing sesame seeds can treat stomach acid. Excessive stomach acid should be addressed by increasing protein intake and restricting irritating foods. Since the secretion of gastric juice exceeds demand, the daily treatment for patients with bloating mainly involves medication. Patients can use some oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
