We often say that "food is the most important thing for people". In the past, it refers to the people's food and clothing problem, but now it is more about the relationship between diet and health. Studies have shown that the type of diet, temperature, eating method, and even the taste of the diet and abdominal distension are precisely related.
Eating method
Eating too fast can easily cause abdominal distension, because when eating too fast, a large amount of gas will be brought into the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, inadequate chewing and food are not easy to digest, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, thereby causing abdominal distension and indigestion. If a patient with gastrointestinal motility disorder eats too fast, he will be more likely to develop symptoms of abdominal distension.

Food types
Meat and sweets are most likely to cause symptoms of bloating. Among them, meat contains more fat and protein, which is a food that is difficult to digest and requires more time to empty, which increases the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. On the other hand, this type of food stays in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time and is fermented with bacteria, which will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide, which will also aggravate the symptoms of abdominal distension. In terms of sweets, I believe many patients have experiences that eating too much sweets will cause symptoms of abdominal distension or even acid reflux, because sweets contain some short-chain carbohydrate , which is difficult to digest, which can easily cause bloating.
