Stomach bloating and pain after eating

The fast-paced life has caused many young people to be under great pressure in their daily lives. Bad habits such as often going to bed late and going to bed early, irregular eating habits, overeating, etc. can easily lead to stomach diseases. Many people experience abdominal bloating and pain after meals. Usually, if this symptom occurs in the body, especially if it happens frequently, it is best to go to the hospital for relevant examinations.

What causes stomach bloating and pain after eating?

It is most likely caused by gastrointestinal dysfunction or indigestion. It is best to go to the hospital and take medication under the guidance of a doctor, and avoid spicy, irritating, and raw or cold foods.

These symptoms in the body indicate indigestion

1. Abdominal bloating

The first symptom of indigestion is "abdominal bloating". The food fills up the stomach and cannot move down. When you touch the stomach with your hand, you feel that there is gas or hard objects in the stomach. This is your sign that your stomach is full and you can't eat any more!

2. Vomiting, acid reflux and hiccups

If the food is packed full and there is no time for digestion to flow towards the intestines, when it is bloated to a certain extent, it will rush upwards and cause vomiting of food residues. Hiccups and acid reflux are caused by food remaining in the stomach for too long, producing sour gas.

3. Constipation and diarrhea

Indigestion can easily cause gastrointestinal flora imbalance, thus causing diarrhea. If food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, it will form toxins and stool, causing gastrointestinal dysfunction and eventually leading to constipation.

If you experience symptoms such as early satiety (feeling full shortly after eating, resulting in a significant decrease in food intake), difficulty swallowing, upper abdominal pain, vomiting blood, black stools, etc., you need to suspect that the indigestion is already quite serious and it is best to seek medical treatment immediately.

Five tips to help you digest quickly

1. Take a walk after dinner. Walking half an hour after a meal can effectively promote gastrointestinal motility and accelerate the digestion and absorption of food in the stomach.

2. Drink wine in moderation. The acidity of wine can stimulate the stomach and promote the secretion of digestive juices.

3. Drinking honey and lemon tea can promote gastrointestinal motility, accelerate the digestion of food, and play a role in appetizing and digesting food.

4. Self-massage. Massage the Zhongwan point 300 times in a clockwise direction; press the Zhongwan point until you can hear a slight peristaltic sound in the stomach.
