What should I do if my stomach is bloated but I can't poop?

As we all know, if a person's body is in an uncomfortable state for a long time, even if the person does not feel it, some body behaviors will directly react. People usually understand that their body is in an unhealthy state based on their excrement. But some people say, what should I do if my stomach is bloated but I don't want to poop? Should I go for the same checkup? So let’s take a closer look at what to do if you have a bloated stomach but can’t poop?

First: There are several reasons for abdominal bloating:

1. Food fermentation. Certain foods themselves are prone to causing bloating, such as beans, wheat bran, apples, peaches, onions, cabbage, cereals, and potato foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes. These are all gas-producing foods. Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of bacteria in the lower ileum and ascending colon. If the chyme stays in this section of the intestine for too long for some reason, the bacteria can cause the chyme to ferment, produce a large amount of gas, and cause abdominal distension.

2. Gas absorption disorder in the gastrointestinal tract. Under normal circumstances, most of the gas in the abdominal cavity is absorbed by the blood vessels in the intestinal wall and then exhaled out of the body through the lungs. In some diseases, blood circulation in the intestinal wall is impaired, affecting the absorption of gas in the intestinal cavity, thus causing abdominal bloating.

3. Bad eating habits. When you eat too fast or talk while eating, you will swallow too much air and cause bloating.

4. People who live a fast-paced life and are under a lot of stress are prone to bloating. Weakened or absent intestinal motility will prevent gas in the intestinal cavity from being discharged from the body, thus causing abdominal bloating. The gas accumulated in the body cannot be discharged from the body, which will put pressure on the digestive system and cause people to feel uncomfortable such as bloating and even pain. When air enters the body, the human body will instinctively burp or fart to expel excess gas. Generally speaking, an adult will pass gas about 10-18 times a day. If there is any abnormality, whether it is too many times or no gas, it will cause abnormal bloating.

5. Certain gastrointestinal diseases. Such as irritability of the bowel, gallbladder disease (may be fat indigestion) and cause bloating.

In general, there are many causes of abdominal bloating, and symptomatic treatment should be given according to the different causes of abdominal bloating.

Second: Methods to treat abdominal bloating.

1. Use abdominal breathing. The method of abdominal breathing is actually very simple. When we inhale, the belly expands, and when we exhale, the belly contracts. Although you may not be used to it at first, once you get used to it, it will help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and promote the excretion of waste in the body. On the other hand, it can also make the airflow smooth and increase lung capacity.

2. Take gastrointestinal motility drugs, or use lactobacillus tablets to promote gastrointestinal digestion and absorption.
