A Balloon-Like Feeling in the Abdomen: What Could Be the Cause?

## Watch out for gas! Where does the gas come from? It is released during the digestion process. We also swallow air while eating or drinking, which then enters the gastrointestinal tract. Bloating and rumbling in the intestines, flatulence, and gas formation most often reflect dysbiotic processes in the large or small intestine, often referred to as irritable bowel syndrome. As a rule, it develops against the background of or after a course of antibiotic therapy, and may also be associated with characteristics of a certain diet. ## What foods increase gas? The foods that most commonly increase gas include ===seeds, legumes, carbonated drinks, fresh pastries, and fried food. Additionally, foods rich in fiber, and raw vegetables and fruits such as turnips, red bell peppers, radishes, onions, garlic, and white cabbage can cause it. Some people have a similar reaction to dairy products. ## Do you have to tolerate it? While the most obvious way to combat excessive gas is to fix your diet, don't forget about the benefits of movement, as a sedentary lifestyle slows down the peristalsis of the intestine, and gas does not come out naturally. Medical preparations can help relieve symptoms and improve the function of the gastrointestinal tract. Enterosorbents absorb gases, inhibit fermentation and remove toxins. However, they should not be taken permanently, as they can damage the intestinal microflora. If the problem is related to taking antibiotics, take a course of drugs to restore microflora. ## When is it time to see a doctor? Any abnormality in the work of the organs is a reason to visit a specialist. Gastrointestinal issues can be especially dangerous as they can be signs of dangerous diseases such as peptic ulcer disease, pancreatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, colorectal cancer. It is especially urgent to visit a gastroenterologist and undergo examinations if abdominal bloating is accompanied by abdominal pain, bloody stool, persistent diarrhea, or vomiting.
