Patient's question:
My boyfriend has always had poor stomach health, and his appetite isn't great either. For this reason, he took him to the hospital specifically. He had a gastroscopy, but everything was normal. In the past half month, he has been constantly hiccuping. He also says he feels bloated in his stomach, even when he's not eating, hiccuping regardless. I don't know why, but sometimes passing gas makes it slightly better. What could be the matter?Doctor's answer:
Gas may be a symptom of problems in the stomach or intestines. You need to identify foods that your body cannot digest and then avoid them. Life stress, emotional tension, lack of digestive enzymes, and other factors may all cause gas. First, maintain a positive mood, stay cheerful, and ensure sufficient deep sleep, which may gradually improve gastrointestinal dysfunction. In terms of diet, meals should be properly distributed, with balanced hunger and fullness. Generally, eat until you are about 80% full and avoid overeating to restore the digestive capacity of the stomach and intestines. Overeating can easily lead to indigestion and gas again. Poor digestion requires dietary adjustments. Additionally, during the treatment of gas, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial.
