Treating bloating: medication, probiotics and fibre + plenty of exercise

Treatment of flatulence depends on the cause. If there is a disruption of the intestinal microbiota, preparations such as probiotics and prebiotics are most recommended. They are also important while taking antibiotics and after antibiotic treatment. These preparations help to normalize the microbial flora in the intestine. They can be purchased over the counter in the form of nutritional supplements.

Fibre is also important.

However, her increased income should be gradually divided into at least two weeks. A sudden increase in impact could cause a bloated abdomen and flatulence. The regulation of eating habits, the food itself and the support of the proper function of digestion play an important role.

There are also pharmaceutical preparations. An example is simethicone which breaks down gas bubbles in the bowels. It contains various pharmacological products. It is very effective in children, as it helps with intestinal colic in babies.

ColiPrev drops are commonly given to babies after birth. They replace lactase, an enzyme that breaks down and digests lactose, or milk sugar. There is more information on colic in babies here.

Home remedies, i.e. natural products,can also be included under supportive medicine, for example marjoram, rasca, basil, honeysuckle, fennel, anise, coriander or dill, even decoctions and teas from them. Also, movement helps relieve an inflated abdomen, as inactivity slows down intestinal motility.

If the cause is another disease, e.g. intestinal inflammation, it needs to be treated. A serious health hazard occurs in case of intestinal obstruction or cancer. The rule is, if the problems persists for a long time, a medical examination will be necessary.
