Gastric flatulence with frequent belching need to identify the cause, may be physiological, may also be pathological; physiological need to adjust dietary habits, pathologically caused by the need for targeted treatment under the guidance of a doctor, such as drug therapy.
1. Physiological: If the patient eats too fast or ingests too much food that is easy to produce gas, the gastric distension and belching may be caused by too much gas produced in the gastrointestinal tract. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the diet in time, should eat regular meals, avoid eating too much gas-producing food, and avoid drinking a lot of carbonated beverages.
2. Pathologic:
(1) Gastric ulcer will cause digestive tract dysfunction, food can’t be digested and absorbed properly, resulting in retention in the stomach, producing a lot of gas, which in turn causes bloating and belching. For the cause of Helicobacter pylori infection, take 1 proton pump inhibitor (e.g., lansoprazole) + 2 antibiotics (e.g., amoxicillin, clarithromycin) + 1 bismuth agent (e.g., bismuth potassium citrate).
(2) Functional dyspepsia causes decreased gastrointestinal motility, leading to slower gastric emptying, which in turn may cause bloating and belching. Consider giving drugs to promote gastrointestinal motility such as domperidone and mosapride for treatment.
But do not rule out other factors caused by, when the symptoms are obvious, if the adjustment of dietary habits is not obvious, to go to the hospital in time to clarify the cause of the disease, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the use of drugs and treatment.
