Bloating - page 8

Pharmacist's advice

For fast and effective elimination of gas, simethicone-based preparations are an excellent and very safe choice, because they are not absorbed into the bloodstream, but act exclusively in the intestines by facilitating the expulsion of accumulated air. However, if bloating bothers you every day, it is crucial to find the cause. Often it is a lack of digestive enzymes or an imbalance of intestinal bacteria, so it is recommended to introduce high-quality probiotics into your daily routine. Try to chew your food slowly, avoid carbonated drinks, chewing gum, and foods that are proven to cause gas (such as beans, cabbage, and too much fresh fruit after a meal).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Are anti-bloating preparations safe for everyday use?
Preparations like simethicone and probiotics are extremely safe for everyday use because they act locally and are not absorbed into the body. Herbal drops can also be used regularly, according to the instructions.

2. Why does bloating usually get worse in the evening?
During the day, the intestines process food and gases gradually accumulate, especially if you had heavy meals or sat a lot. A light dinner and a short walk before bedtime can significantly alleviate this problem.
