<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDo you feel like a balloon in your stomach? This is because you have the issue of stomach bloating! And if you are looking for some home remedies to help with your bloating, then yes, you have visited the right place. Bloating is a condition that causes the abdomen to feel tight and full, as well as the stomach to appear swollen 1<\/a><\/sup>. The feeling of bloating can range from slightly uncomfortable to extremely painful. It usually goes away in some time, but it can be a recurring issue for some people 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span>What Causes Bloating?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nExcessive intestinal gas is the most common cause of bloating 2<\/a><\/sup>. Other common causes of bloating include the following:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Overeating and eating too quickly 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Constipation (due to diet or lifestyle factors): Due to improper passing of stools, freshly digested food remains in the intestines for a longer period, waiting to go down. Everything expands to accommodate the extra volume, resulting in bloating 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Gases can be ingested by swallowing air or drinking carbonated beverages 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Weight gain usually affects your abdominal volume. Because of weight gain, there is less space for normal digestive processes; even a regular meal can cause you to feel abnormally bloated during digestion 1<\/a>,2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a digestive disorder in which the stomach acid comes up and irritates the oesophagus (food pipe)^{1<\/sup><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Small bowel bacterial overgrowth: This happens when bacteria from the colon (part of the large intestine) overflow into the small intestine. These bacterial overgrowths can also overload other bacteria that are supposed to balance them, resulting in stomach bloating 2<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Irritable bowel syndrome is a colon disorder characterised by diarrhoea or constipation, abdominal pain, and mucus passage in stools.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Lactose intolerance (inability to digest sugar) and problem in digesting other food items\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The menstrual cycle may cause temporary bloating 2<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Bloating can sometimes be caused by more serious medical conditions that include:\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Celiac disease (caused due to immune reactions to gluten-containing food items. Gluten is a protein found in many grains, and it doesn\u2019t provide any nutrition)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ascites (a swelling caused by fluid accumulation in the abdomen) and tumours\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Ovarian cancer\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Dumping syndrome (a condition that can develop after surgery to remove all or some part of the stomach)\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Pancreatic insufficiency is a condition in which the pancreas is unable to produce specific enzymes for digestion 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
\n
It might be a serious problem if your bloating is accompanied by abdominal pain, cramps, nausea or vomiting. Persistent bloating that doesn\u2019t improve with lifestyle changes, such as eating smaller meals or avoiding certain foods, may also point to a more serious issue.<\/p>\n Dr Ashish Bajaj, M.B.B.S M.D. in Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>
