Common Causes of Abdominal Bloating

January 25, 2010


Bloating is a common problem that most people tend to ignore. However, the feeling of  fullness as well as a rumbling sound coming from the depths of your abdomen may scare you at times. The accumulation of gas within your intestine might also lead you straight to the  emergency room of a doctor’s clinic complaining of chest pains along with a feeling of  uneasiness. The reason may not be very complex and you can be easily rid of bloating by adopting the following:-

Dietary Change- A lot of food items are responsible for the increase of gas in your  intestinal tract. Beans in any form need to be avoided and you will do well to eliminate the baked beans if you are the type that swear by the tasty food product. It is also advisable  to go a little easy on the intake of cabbages as well as root vegetables. Milk and milk products may be the culprit as well and it is best to avoid them until proved otherwise.

Recognizing food allergies- It is possible to check your allergies yourself without having  to go to a doctor. The ideal way is to maintain a list of the food products that you consume each day. This will enable you to discover the offending food stuff once you see  that there is no bloating when you forgo that particular product.

However, it has been noted  that the most common allergy plaguing people suffering from bloating is milk. Lactose intolerance is often found to be associated with abdominal bloating and it is time to stop drinking milk by the gallons if you do indeed experience a fullness and uneasiness after having milk. You can try yoghurt instead or opt for the lactose free variety of milk if you cannot do without it.

IBS- Irritable bowel syndrome may also be one of the chief causes of bloating. This usually  occurs when the colon fails to regulate the digestive process that leads to accumulation of gas. Avoiding food items that irritate the intestine is a good idea as is the idea of quitting cigarettes for good.
