I have a bad stomach and my stomach is always growling. What is the reason and what should I do?

First of all, the stomach makes this "purring" sound, some of which are normal, while others indicate intestinal diseases. This sound is also called intestinal purring. Normal people's intestinal purr is about 4 times per minute, but factors such as abnormal intestinal function or intestinal diseases can easily stimulate abnormal intestinal peristalsis, so there will be many purrs. This kind of sound is mainly due to the intermittent formation of gas and liquid flowing in the intestine after eating or hunger, which is normal.

What are the factors that cause the gastrointestinal tract to purr?

1, dietary factors

This factor is also a normal factor, especially after eating some foods that are easy to produce, mainly because after eating radish, onion, garlic, bean products and other foods, too much gas will be produced in the digestive process of the gastrointestinal tract, so these excess gases can not be discharged from the body in time, so they are mixed with digestive juice and food residues in the gastrointestinal tract, and the gastrointestinal tract will be squeezed and grunted during peristalsis.

2. Gastrointestinal dysfunction

This syndrome shows that there is nothing wrong with the gastrointestinal tract, but the human body always feels uncomfortable with the gastrointestinal tract, and there will be symptoms such as abdominal distension, constipation, diarrhea and excessive exhaust. The syndrome is mainly caused by dietary stimulation, mental stimulation, drug stimulation and other factors. , leading to abnormal gastrointestinal motility. Excessive peristalsis will lead to the symptoms of excessive bowel sounds, while insufficient peristalsis will lead to abnormal fermentation of food in the gastrointestinal tract and produce a large amount of gas, so it will stimulate the intestinal tract or be squeezed by intestinal tract and excrement to produce bowel sounds.

3. Gastrointestinal diseases

Common diseases include gastric ulcer, gastritis and enteritis. These diseases will easily lead to gastrointestinal flora disorder and affect gastrointestinal function, so the emptying time of food in the gastrointestinal tract will be relatively prolonged. Therefore, if food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, it will be decomposed by abnormal bacteria, which will not ferment well, produce a lot of gas, and will also be squeezed to produce purr. Some serious diseases can also cause this symptom, mainly gastrointestinal bleeding, intestinal cancer, intestinal obstruction and other diseases.

Dr. Ma Xia answered how to alleviate this symptom.

1, adjust the diet structure

Due to the great influence of diet, the diet should generally be light and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables (apples, grapes, kiwis, bananas, celery, broccoli, spinach, etc.). ), a glass of milk before and after meals, or a glass of honey grapefruit tea, is conducive to promoting digestion and absorption.

Step 2 Exercise properly

Exercise has a great effect on gastrointestinal function. Usually you can do some light exercise, such as walking slowly, doing Tai Chi, abdominal breathing, massage, etc., to avoid doing some strenuous exercise after meals, which may easily lead to gastroptosis, volvulus and other diseases, and these exercises should be persisted for a long time, which will help promote the digestion and absorption function of the gastrointestinal tract.

3. Drug therapy

Drug therapy is mainly aimed at some patients whose diet regulation is ineffective. Such patients can usually take some drugs to promote digestion and absorption (cisapride, trimebutine maleate, mosapride), and also take some drugs to regulate gastrointestinal flora (probiotics, whole intestine, multi-enzyme tablets, peifeikang, 1 live bacteria, etc.). ), which is beneficial to regulate the gastrointestinal flora and relieve the symptoms of stomach growling, but it is still necessary for patients with gastrointestinal inflammation.
