What’s with the bloated stomach and the urge to poop?

Bloating and wanting to have a bowel movement may be caused by dietary factors, or it may be caused by functional constipation, intestinal flora imbalance, gastrointestinal dysfunction and other factors. 1. Dietary factors: eating a lot of gas-producing foods, such as beans, sweet potatoes, etc., can cause bloating; at the same time, such foods are rich in dietary fiber, and dietary fiber can play a role in promoting defecation, resulting in wanting to poop. 2. Intestinal flora dysbiosis, gastrointestinal dysfunction: intestinal flora dysbiosis when the balance of intestinal flora has been destroyed, resulting in an increase in gas-producing bacteria, there will be a bloating situation, while intestinal peristalsis abnormalities can also be seen wanting to defecate; gastrointestinal dysfunction can be bloating, epigastric discomfort and other gastrointestinal neuroses, can be accompanied by diarrhea and other intestinal symptoms. 3. Functional constipation: Functional constipation is caused by long-term constipation, which leads to the accumulation of feces in the gastrointestinal tract, causing abdominal distension; moreover, feces accumulates in the intestinal cavity for a long time, and the water is reabsorbed by the intestinal tract, which will lead to the situation of wanting to defecate but having difficulty in defecation. There are many other reasons for bloating and wanting to have a bowel movement. After excluding dietary factors, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time.
