Flatulence And Digestive Problems – What Can I Do?

Can stress affect digestion? You have probably noticed this yourself several times. An emotionally balanced life is essential for a healthy digestion.

All people sometimes suffer from indigestion, stomach ache, or uncomfortable gas. 

Digestive problems usually arise when the food you eat is not easy to digest. Digestion is slower than normal and you may experience a variety of symptoms.

If these complaints occur frequently, it is referred to as “poor digestion”. The problem can drag on for days or months. Temporary complaints are relatively short and easier to treat.

Even bloating are closely associated with indigestion. These can be very bothersome, especially if the problem is chronic. Digestive problems can be triggered by bad and unhealthy habits.

Because of this, it is important to make habit changes to get rid of the problem.

Avoid emotional stress and nervousness to prevent gas

The stomach is very sensitive to emotional changes. If someone suffers from stress or is very nervous or depressed , the stomach usually also reports.  

Those affected usually suffer from pain, inflammation, digestive problems, gas and other problems. For this reason, it is important to control emotions, as this also has a positive effect on digestion.

Eat healthy and balanced

If you have indigestion and gas, it is crucial to learn how to eat properly. If you don’t chew the food enough, digestion will slow down. If you swallow too much air while eating, it will cause unwanted gas.

Always eat slowly and chew well so that the saliva stimulates digestion and you feel full faster. Don’t drink too much water with your meal, as this can neutralize stomach acids and make digestion difficult.

Get some rest after eating

A bit of rest after eating is highly recommended. This allows the stomach to use the energy for digestion. Avoid exercising right after you eat and get some rest first.

However, a long siesta is not recommended for your health, so you should not lie in bed but rest on a chair or sofa.

Only take medication on a full stomach

Many medications can cause digestive problems, so avoid them as much as possible. If you need medication, we recommend that you  do not take it on an empty stomach to avoid discomfort.

Eat healthy

Diet is fundamental to digestive health and to prevent flatulence. Avoid foods that are difficult to digest.

If you frequently suffer from flatulence and indigestion, we advise you to eat foods that are not spicy, acidic and rich in fiber. You should also avoid the consumption of alcohol, carbonated drinks and fast food.

Don’t eat late at night

Many people have a bad habit of eating something before going to bed. This can then lead to poor digestion. It is advisable to have your last meal at least three hours before going to bed.

Remember …

• Apply all of this advice in your daily life and you will find that the indigestion and gas will go away. There are also natural remedies you can use to help. Ginger and lemon are highly recommended for flatulence and poor digestion.
• You should take stomach and digestive problems seriously if they occur frequently. If stomach burning, indigestion, and gas occur more than twice a week, then it is advisable that you see a doctor, even if it is not a serious problem (such as irritable bowel syndrome, cystitis, food allergy or, in the worst case, cancer ).
