indigestion
Bloating usually occurs in conjunction with other symptoms such as flatulence, gastric pressure, loss of appetite, and heartburn. Many sufferers also suffer from incomplete evacuation, abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting. In such cases, the generic term "indigestion" or dyspepsia is often used. If the symptoms are observed repeatedly, a doctor should be consulted promptly.

Causes of feeling of fullness
A simple and easily understandable cause of bloating is lavish meals, especially if they were very fatty or sweetened. Then it is possible that the digestive organs "go on strike", which is expressed by an uncomfortable feeling of heaviness and gastric pressures, possibly in conjunction with other complaints. In this case, proven home remedies can provide relief naturally.
In pregnancy, especially in the last third, when the stomach is a bit bigger and pushes up, feeling of fullness is quite normal. In any case, more frequent, smaller meals are recommended here, so that the digestive organs do not have to do so much work at once.
Frequently, women suffer from bloated feeling in connection with PMS (premenstrual syndrome), which is triggered by the hormone fluctuations. Here home remedies can also often help.
If the sensation occurs after a small meal, bile juice production, irritable stomach, irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis (gastritis), gastric ulcer or tumor may be a possible cause.
If the intestinal flora is disturbed, which often happens through the ingestion of antibiotics, the physiological and pathological intestinal bacteria are no longer in equilibrium. Bloating, malaise, diarrhea or constipation and a feeling of fullness are usually the result.
The hiatal hernia is also one of the possible causes of bloating. This is a diaphragmatic fracture in which parts of the stomach push through the opening of the diaphragm towards the chest. See: belly button pain.
Mental factors such as anxiety, stress or grief, but also the presence of depression can also lead to indigestion in connection with a feeling of fullness. Other triggers are the consumption of alcohol and nicotine.
Cause of the complaints may be, for example, an intolerance to fructose or gluten. (Image: PhotoSG / fotolia.com) Cause food intolerance
If the symptoms are directly after eating or drinking (for example in cow's milk), food allergy or food intolerance should be considered. These include lactose intolerance (lactose intolerance), in which the milk sugar can only be broken down insufficiently or not at all. This gets undigested into the large intestine, which can trigger massive bloating and a feeling of fullness associated with it.
Other more common food intolerances include fructose and histamine intolerance and gluten allergy (celiac disease)
Preventive measures
For indigestion in connection with bloating, the alpha and omega is a slow, conscious eating and sufficient chewing. Every bite should be well instilled ("fletching"), as there is already an enzyme in the saliva that initiates the first digestive process. Chewing too quickly and swallowing too much in one go will make the stomach more involved, which in turn can cause discomfort.
Those affected should observe themselves as well as possible and avoid food that can not be tolerated. It is recommended to take six smaller portions instead of three main meals over the course of the day.
It is important that enough liquid is absorbed throughout the day, preferably in the form of still water. Danger: The probably meant schnapps after the meal brings nothing. On the contrary, it can even slow down the digestive process. The more alcohol is consumed to eat, the worse it is for digestion.
Bitter herbs before eating, as an alcohol-free bitter elixir or bitter granules, can positively influence the digestive process and counteract a feeling of fullness. Both are available at the pharmacy. Similarly, an appetizer with radicchio, chicory and / or dandelion. These bitter herbs contribute to a well-being in the stomach. The prerequisite is of course that afterwards no large, heavy and high-fat meals are consumed.

Although raw food contains many vitamins, but is not so well tolerated for many people. Especially sufferers who feel a full feeling in the stomach should refrain from it. Better is blanched or only slightly steamed vegetables. In the evening after 18.00 o'clock raw food is generally not recommended. The intestine can no longer process these and overnight forms so-called fusel alcohols, which ultimately harm the liver. Likewise, flatulent foods, dried fruit, freshly baked bread, sugar, sweeteners and chewing gum should be avoided.
Exercise gets the digestion going
Even if the stomach pinches and beckons the sofa, a walk with fullness is the better choice, because the meal is digested faster. Loose clothing is advised so that the stomach is not additionally constricted.
Key facts at a glance
All in all, proper nutrition has a positive effect on the digestive system. A fat-free diet that contains a lot of basic foods and is low in bloating vegetables, little sweet, enough liquid and walks after meals - all this counteracts the feeling of fullness. If the unpleasant gut feeling still exists and this occurs frequently, then a doctor should be consulted. (sw, nr, last updated on 25.11.2016)
