Treatment and causes of swelling of the intestines with abundant release of gases
In addition to the previously mentioned factors, some diseases of the digestive system can cause an intense attack of flatulence:
- Pancreatitis. Insufficient production of enzymes disrupts the process of digesting food.
- Dysbacteriosis. The change in the balance of microflora in the intestine leads to the fact that pathogenic bacteria secrete excess gases.
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Flatulence occurs against the background of deterioration of the organ motility.
- Lactose intolerance. The inability to absorb milk sugar provokes excessive gas production when consuming the appropriate products.
- Invasion by parasites. The presence of helminths in the body is always accompanied by dyspeptic disorders, including flatulence.
- Polyps, intestinal tumors. Neoplasm in the lumen of the organ creates an obstruction, because of which gases can not depart physiologically and accumulate.
- Biliary dyskinesia. Disorders of excretion and outflow of bile lead to a deterioration in the processes of digestion of food, a decrease in intestinal motility.
- Ulcers, gastritis, colitis, enteritis. Similar diseases, as a rule, are accompanied by constipation or diarrhea, as well as dysbiosis.
Therapy only flatulence will give only a temporary effect, it is advisable to treat not the symptom, but the disease, the root cause. As an emergency, it is recommended to take a sorbent:

- white or conventional activated carbon;
- Smectu;
- Atoxyl;
- Polysorb;
- Simethicone.
