Bloating Stomach. Is It Fat, Air or Water?

The distinguishing characteristics of BLOATING include a feeling of fullness, tightness, or swelling in the abdomen. It may be accompanied by visible swelling, discomfort, and an increased girth around the abdominal area. Bloating can also cause sensations of pressure and may be associated with gas or flatulence.

Some individuals may be more prone to bloating due to factors like their digestive system's sensitivity to certain foods, slower digestion, insufficient enzyme production, or a tendency to swallow air while eating or drinking. Additionally, underlying conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or food intolerances can make someone more susceptible to bloating.

Acupressure can be helpful in relieving bloating.

腹胀的显着特征包括腹部饱胀、紧绷或肿胀的感觉。它可能伴有明显的肿胀、不适和腹部周围周长的增加。腹胀也会引起压力感，并可能与胀气有关。

 有些人可能更容易出现腹胀，原因包括消化系统对某些食物敏感、消化速度较慢、酶产生不足或进食或饮水时容易吞咽空气等因素。此外，肠易激综合症（IBS）或食物不耐受等潜在疾病可能会使人更容易出现腹胀。
