If you have constant and persistent stomach bloating after eating, you should not simply dismiss it as normal. You have be suffering from one of a number of conditions that are treatable, meaning that you quality of life does not necessarily need to be negatively affected at all. I hope this article on gastro-intestinal health and treatments will offer you some helpful guidelines that will really make your life easier.
A bloated stomach after eating can be accompanied by stomach spasms, hardness, or gurgling. It is always best to check with your wellness professionals, which may include a family doctor, naturopath, or gastrointestinal specialist. If your doctor is concerned with the condition of your stomach or digestive tract, there is a relatively simple out-patient scope procedure that will allow a specialist to take a look.
First, you may want to look at your dietary practices such as whether you overeat, drink tons of soda or beer with meals, or simply have the habit of constantly drinking liquids that dilute your stomach digestive juices. If you experience stomach bloating after eating as opposed to when it is empty, that often eliminates conditions like ulcers. I often see individuals and family doctors rush to this conclusion when so often there is a more serious condition at work.
You may suffer from gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, or some other food intolerance that will quickly and regularly lead to a bloated stomach after eating. Others may have a shortage of digestive enzymes. In the first case, the individual may need to permanently eliminate the food from there diet, while in others, a dietary supplement may provide an immediate and dramatic improvement. I found that after I had eliminated all of the gluten and dairy from my diet that all it took was a daily probiotic pill (see link below) and after a few months much of the intestinal damage had healed and the proper flora balance was restored to my gut.
Common Remedies for Stomach Bloating After Eating
There are a number of immediate bloating remedies that may help until you figure out what the root of the problem is. Many people prefer mint tea or peppermint oil capsules, digestive enzymes (pictured), and belly rubs. In many cases, it is not automatically recommended to take antacids. They may be beneficial, but they will affect your ability to digest food, which changes this condition into painful indigestion and intestinal discomfort if you are in fact suffering from a food intolerance, and your gut continues to react with poorly digested food matter.
