How To Cure An Inflamed Stomach?

To alleviate the discomfort that is causing the inflammation in the stomach in 3 or 4 days, regardless of the cause (gas, constipation or fluid retention), you can adopt some strategies such as avoiding the consumption of foods rich in salt or condiments, reducing the consumption of milk, pasta and breads, as well as avoiding the intake of foods rich in refined sugars.

In addition to this, the consumption of anise, lemon balm or mint tea during the day, can also help prevent the formation of gases, facilitate their expulsion and improve digestion, helping to reduce inflammation in the stomach.

Inflammation in the stomach can also be a symptom of gastritis, gastroenteritis, irritable bowel or indigestion. In these cases, when bloating is accompanied by constant or unrelieved abdominal pain or other gastrointestinal symptoms, a gastroenterologist should be consulted to order tests to help diagnose the problem and initiate the most appropriate treatment.

How to cure an inflamed stomach?

1. Practice physical activity

In addition to food, there are some exercises that also help reduce inflammation in the stomach because they facilitate the expulsion of gases, these are:

Exercise 1

Lie on your back bending and holding one of the knees, pressing it towards the belly. This exercise should be repeated 20 to 30 times for each leg.

Exercise 2

Another excellent exercise to end discomfort is to kneel down and try to sit on your heel, stretching forward and extending your arms. This exercise allows the alignment of the end of the intestine with the anal sphincter, facilitating the exit of gases.

In addition to this, walking is also a good exercise to help eliminate excess gases accumulated during the day.

2. Healthy eating

To reduce stomach inflammation it is important to eat foods rich in fiber that facilitate digestion, which are present in whole grains, fruits and vegetables.

In addition to this, it is also important to reduce the consumption of some foods that contribute to the formation of gases, avoiding the intake of 2 or more carbohydrates in the same meal, such as pasta with potato, rice with potato or rice with beans, for example. See what are the foods that cause gas.

Also, the intake of soft drinks, artificial sweeteners and carbonated beverages should be reduced, as well as the consumption of processed foods such as sausages, lasagna or frozen pizzas. 

You can also try to stop drinking milk for 4 to 5 days to see if the swelling goes down. If this happens, there is a possibility that the person suffers from lactose intolerance, a condition that causes gas and diarrhea. In addition to milk, gluten intolerance can also cause gas. Learn more about the symptoms of gluten intolerance.

3. Take probiotics

To decrease gas formation an excellent strategy could be to consume plain or bifidobacteria yogurts daily at breakfast, for example. These yogurts have bacteria that regulate food fermentation and gas production.

In addition to this, it is also possible to add in soup or drinks, probiotics powder or take it in capsule form, being able to buy them in pharmacies or in stores specialized in natural products. These probiotics help to balance the intestinal flora, reducing abdominal discomfort and gas production. Learn about the benefits of consuming probiotics.

The restrictive techniques will only allow to reduce the amount of food ingested due to the reduction of the stomach volume. In the case of restrictive and malabsorptive techniques, in addition to reducing the size of the stomach, the intestine is also modified to reduce the absorption of nutrients, thus reducing the calories that enter the body. Because it is an invasive type of surgery, bariatric surgery is only indicated when the person has already tried to lose weight using other methods without obtaining any results, or when the excess weight puts the individual...
