Specific causes
Fructose
Fructose is found in fruits and honey. Ordinary table sugar (sucrose) provides equal amounts of fructose and glucose. Fruit Sugar consists solely of fructose. Fructose is also used as a sweetener and is 1.5 times as sweet as table sugar.
Several studies have shown that fructose is not as good for the body. An excess of fructose over a longer period of time can lead to a metabolic syndrome. Furthermore, there may be hypertension, myocardial infarction, dyslipidemia, obesity, pancreatitis, acute liver failure and gestational diabetes are caused.
The body accepts the fructose and brings this with the protein GLUT-5 to the liver. Glut-2 is used by the body for the substance is glucose. However, glucose can not only with the GLUT-2, also with fructose. Fructose is only broken down and converted into energy in the liver, while glucose is converted into energy in the body. Glut-2 takes care of the glucosetoestroom, and if there is an excess of fructose, touch the body is saturated and there is not enough to drain the GLUT-5 to fructose. Fructose will then take the place of glucose in go. This creates a Fructose malabsorption. 30 to 40 percent of the population suffers it. Because the fructose is not recorded, or not enough, increases the concentration in the colon, after which the bacteria convert it into hydrogen and carbon dioxide. As a result, most symptoms of bloating, causes. There are also different kinds of fruits where sugars in it that people can't digest, but bacteria though.
Dyspepsia treatment
Some foods are enzymes that help break down sugars that are found in grains and vegetables. These can be taken before being eaten. Medications can be taken with activated carbon, against the smell of flatulence. The most well known drug is antacid. This increases the pH of the stomach acid. However, there must be a metered amount to be ingested. If too much of ingested, which inhibits again the functioning of the stomach.
Even after eating a walk can help against bloating. This is because hormones are released during a walk, which promote the digestion of food in the intestines. Herbal teas can be drunk, because it breaks the bubbles. Some types of food, such as coffee and chocolate, can stimulate the digestive tract, which leads to a higher quantity of air, in the intestines. Fat food can also be poorly digested, causing bloating may arise. Too hot and ice cold drinks or food can give bloating, because air is sucked in when consuming. Carbonated beverages shall ensure that gas is produced in the stomach. That which does not come back up, goes through the intestines out and take care of bloating. So it is not advisable to drink it. It is also the most sense to quit smoking or otherwise using tobacco products.
