Gastrointestinal distention is gastric distention and bloating caused by dysfunction of the stomach and intestines. The main causes are in the following categories.
Gastrointestinal disorders: acute gastritis, chronic gastritis, gastrointestinal tumours, gastric ulcers, gastric prolapse, pyloric obstruction, dyspepsia, malabsorption, etc.
Poor living conditions: chronic anxiety, disordered diet, overeating, etc.
Side effects from taking certain medications may also cause it, such as aspirin, iron, potassium chloride, ibuprofen, indomethacin, etc.
Poor eating habits: chewing with the mouth open, swallowing and talking while eating can cause patients to inhale a lot of air during the eating process, which can easily cause digestive problems and flatulence.
