Causes of bloating and malaise after eating

Experts of the German health magazine “Freunden” attributed the suffering of some people from flatulence, feeling cramps and discomfort, to several reasons that may differ from one person to another, explaining that most of them are related to the digestive process.

Here are a number of causes of bloating and feeling uncomfortable after eating.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Although the causes of irritable bowel syndrome are not known yet, psychological problems and stress can exacerbate these intestinal problems.

Food allergy

There are some foods that are not easily digested, but they cause an allergic response that varies from person to person, such as lactose intolerance, which means avoiding milk and its products.

Not moving regularly

Thanks to the movement the digestion process is stimulated and gas can be eliminated faster.

A large amount

Stacking food in the stomach slows down the digestive process, so it is better to eat several small meals spread throughout the day instead of large meals.

Problems with intestinal bacteria

Stomach upset, antibiotic intake, or gastrointestinal infection can damage a healthy intestinal flora in favor of unwanted bacteria.

Eating quickly

When food is swallowed quickly, large amounts of air enter the stomach. Therefore, one must take time to chew and swallow food, which helps the stomach to digest food more easily.

Hormonal fluctuations

Flatulence can occur with the menstrual cycle, usually before, during, or during pregnancy, and the hormonal change also affects the digestion process and makes the intestines slow.

Digestive disorders

Severe and painful flatulence can be caused by more serious causes, such as chronic inflammation of the pancreas or having an intestinal disease.
