Abdominal swelling and bloating: proper nutrition

The term refers to the bloating, excessive intestinal gas production. In the intestines normally there are oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen, and their volume can vary depending on the subject. Most of these gases derive from air intake while you degluticon food and beverages, which is called aerophagic.

The most common symptom of bloating is abdominal pain, distention, or associated with swelling of the abdomen itself. Often the bloating is associated with phenomena of flatulence and belching.

The food choices are impacting heavily on gas produced in the intestine either directly or indirectly, the nutritionist can come in handy in this case too, recommending a diet aimed at you.

If the bloating becomes a constant, that lasts more than a few days and weeks, you should consult your doctor to investigate the exact cause.
