You can’t eat potatoes if you have gas in your stomach and intestines.
Because the starch content of potato is relatively high, when the starch through the intestinal bacterial fermentation will produce gas, when these excessive gas can not be discharged will accumulate in the intestine, which leads to a continuous increase in the gas in the stomach and intestines. And the nutrients of potatoes will also accumulate in the stomach and intestines, affecting the patient’s digestion and absorption function.
When there is gas in the stomach and intestines, you can eat radish, hawthorn, corn and other foods to regulate. Because radish and hawthorn can speed up the peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract, promote the digestion of food in the stomach, and let the stomach empty as soon as possible, thus helping to relieve flatulence.
However, it is also necessary to clarify the cause of gastrointestinal gas and target the medication. If it is caused by gastritis, enteritis, dyspepsia and other diseases, you can follow the doctor’s instructions to take proton pump inhibitors, probiotics and promote gastrointestinal dynamics of the drug for treatment, such as omeprazole, bacillus licheniformis, mosapride. If it is caused by gastrointestinal tumors and pyloric obstruction and other diseases, it should be treated by surgery.
It is recommended that patients go to the hospital to clarify the cause of gas in the stomach and intestines, and choose a targeted treatment plan under the guidance of the doctor.
