Why do I always have bloating and hiccups? What is the disease?

Abdominal distension is bloating, which is usually accompanied by hiccups. When the gas is burped out, the bloating will usually go away, which is also the reason for the normal functioning of the body. If you often have abdominal distension and hiccups, in addition to considering your lifestyle, you should also pay attention to other gastrointestinal diseases.

Why do I always have bloating and burping?

1. Gastrointestinal motility disorders cause food to stay in the digestive tract for too long. Food will ferment under the action of intestinal bacteria, and then generate a large amount of gas, causing abdominal distension. Some of the gas that cannot be discharged in time may "flow back up" and be discharged through burping;

2. Poor eating habits, talking too much while eating, eating too fast, which will cause a lot of air to be swallowed into the stomach along with the food, leading to bloating and hiccups;

3. Excessive consumption of gas-producing foods. Eating meat and other foods that are difficult to digest, or foods such as sweet potatoes, soybeans, radishes, leeks, potatoes, chestnuts, etc., will easily produce a lot of gas, causing bloating and hiccups.

4. Helicobacter pylori has almost become the "culprit" that induces digestive system diseases in modern people, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, etc., most of which are related to Helicobacter pylori infection. Moreover, it itself is also one of the causes of symptoms such as stomach acid, abdominal distension, and hiccups.

What is the disease of frequent abdominal distension and hiccups?

Frequent bloating and hiccups may be caused by these causes:

1. Decreased gastrointestinal digestive function.

Slowed gastrointestinal motility is a common cause of abdominal bloating and hiccups. It is mainly because after the gastrointestinal motility slows down, food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for too long, and the fermentation of intestinal microorganisms increases gas production, leading to abdominal bloating and hiccups.

2. Gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux disease.

Patients with gastrointestinal diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux and gastric ulcer generally have their digestive functions affected to some extent, especially those with gastroesophageal reflux. Due to the increased gas production in the gastrointestinal tract and the occurrence of reflux, a large amount of gas will flow up to the mouth with the reflux momentum, resulting in frequent hiccups.

3. Helicobacter pylori infection.

At present, Helicobacter pylori is prevalent in my country, and the infection rate is increasing year by year. It can cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as abdominal distension, hiccups, acid reflux, heartburn, and abdominal pain.

What to do if you have gastritis and bloating

For gastritis patients with acid reflux and bloating, avoid eating foods that are difficult to digest and stimulate excessive gastric acid secretion, such as rice cakes, rice dumplings, fatty meat, etc. Do not eat honey, sugar tea, cream cakes, chocolate and other foods containing too much sugar. To a certain extent, these foods put a certain burden on the digestion of the stomach, leading to increased symptoms of acid reflux and bloating.

In addition, for patients with acid reflux and abdominal bloating, it is best to cook the noodles for a longer period of time and chew them in the mouth for a longer period of time when eating. This can promote stomach digestion and reduce the stomach's digestive burden.

No matter what kind of stomach disease you have, the most important thing is to determine the cause. If it is caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, take medicine against the bacteria; if it is caused by non-steroidal drugs, stop using these drugs or add gastric mucosal protective agents; if it is caused by bad eating habits, correct the bad habits.
