Senna leaves, cool in nature, have the effect of clearing the bowels and relaxing bowels, but they are not suitable for drinking every day. In addition, you only need to grab a handful when soaking (the weight is similar to that of soaking black tea). Too much senna leaves will cause severe diarrhea and stomach pain, but a small amount will not be uncomfortable.
In addition, cassia seed is also a traditional Chinese medicine for clearing the bowels and relaxing bowels, and it also has the effect of improving eyesight. I feel better than senna, but cassia seed will only be effective if it is brewed with tea. Some pharmacies sell cooked cassia seeds.
What is bloating?
Abdominal distension is abdominal distension. Under normal circumstances, children will have abdominal distension after meals, and they will have an empty stomach when they are hungry. If the abdomen continues to expand without deflation and the abdominal wall has tension, it can be considered as abdominal distension. Abdominal distension is caused by the following reasons:
(1) A large amount of gas or liquid accumulates in the digestive tract.
(2) Excessive gas or liquid accumulates in the abdominal cavity.
(3) There is a large cystic or solid mass in the abdomen.
(4) weakness of abdominal muscles.
Abdominal distension in children is mainly flatulence.
What causes abdominal flatulence?
There are several reasons for flatulence in the intestinal cavity:
(1) food fermentation
Under normal circumstances, there are a lot of bacteria in the lower ileum and ascending colon. If chyme stays in this intestine for a long time for some reason, under the action of bacteria, chyme can be fermented, producing a lot of gas and causing abdominal distension.
(2) Inhale air
When the child is breastfeeding, the mother's nipple is sunken or poorly connected. When feeding artificially, because the nipple hole size is not suitable, or when crying, a lot of air can be inhaled, causing flatulence.
(3) Gastrointestinal gas absorption disorder
Under normal circumstances, most of the gas in the abdominal cavity is absorbed by the blood vessels in the intestinal wall and discharged from the body by the lungs. In some diseases, the blood circulation of intestinal wall is blocked, which affects the absorption of gas in intestinal cavity, thus causing abdominal distension.
(4) Obstacle of gas discharge from gastrointestinal tract.
For some reasons, the intestinal peristalsis function is weakened or disappeared, which makes the gas in the intestinal cavity unable to be discharged from the body, thus causing abdominal distension.
What is the serious harm of abdominal distension?
(1) affects breathing.
Abdominal flatulence, rising diaphragm, smaller chest and limited lung breathing function will all cause dyspnea.
(2) affecting blood circulation
Abdominal flatulence, diaphragm elevation, chest compression, cardiac systolic and diastolic functions are affected. Intestinal cavity flatulence, intestinal pressure increases, affecting the blood circulation of intestinal wall. With the increase of intra-abdominal pressure, the reflux of inferior vena cava is blocked, which affects cardiac ejection because of the decrease of reflux.
(3) Water-electrolyte imbalance
Severe abdominal distension, retention of intestinal contents and compression of intestinal wall not only affect the absorption of intestinal contents, but also make the plasma of intestinal wall penetrate into intestinal cavity, resulting in imbalance of water and electrolyte.
(4) toxin absorption
The chyme staying in the intestinal cavity is fermented and rotted under the action of bacteria, producing toxic gas, which is absorbed by the human body and aggravates the disease.
How to treat abdominal flatulence?
(1) Finding the primary cause of abdominal distension and carrying out targeted treatment can often achieve good results.
(2) Symptomatic treatment
① Relaxation: If constipation is caused, liquid medicine such as kaiselu or glycerin suppository can be squeezed into rectum, so that stool and gas can be discharged and the pressure in colon can be reduced. If the defecation is unsuccessful, the anal canal can be inserted into the anus to reach the sigmoid colon, so that the intestinal gas can be discharged from the body.
② Gastrointestinal decompression: put a gastric tube into gastrointestinal tract through nasal cavity or oral cavity, and then connect a suction decompression device outside the tube. Through this device, the gas and liquid in the gastrointestinal tract can be sucked out, and the pressure of the gastrointestinal tract can be reduced, so that the gastrointestinal muscles can rest and wait for the function to recover.
③ If the above two methods are ineffective and there is no sign of intestinal obstruction, drugs such as neostigmine or phentolamine can be selected. Neostigmine can inhibit cholinesterase, enhance intestinal peristalsis and promote exhaust. The dosage is 0.045 ~ 0.06 mg/kg body weight each time, and it is injected subcutaneously. Phentolamine can improve lung ventilation, stimulate intestinal smooth muscle, promote intestinal peristalsis and relieve abdominal distension. The dosage is 0.2 ~ 0.5 mg/kg body weight each time, and it is injected subcutaneously.
④ Fasting, intravenous infusion and correction of electrolyte disorder. If it is abdominal distension caused by low blood potassium concentration, potassium chloride can be injected intravenously.
⑤ After abdominal distension disappears, you can take multi-enzyme tablets and probiotics.
6. Avoid gas-producing foods, such as beans and potatoes.
How to understand the etiology and pathogenesis of abdominal distension in TCM?
Abdominal distension is caused by too much gas in the gastrointestinal tract, which is characterized by abdominal distension, pale complexion, even exposure of veins, and abdominal skin tension. The main causes and pathogenesis are as follows:
(1) Spleen and stomach are damaged
Improper breast feeding, excessive hunger or malnutrition will damage the spleen and stomach, make the spleen lose healthy exercise, lose its lifting function, and lead to qi stagnation and abdominal distension.
(2) Emotional factors
Because spoiled children are willful, frustrated, emotionally unstable, liver qi stagnation and qi disorder, they can lead to shortness of breath and abdominal distension.
(3) Accumulation of damp-heat
In summer and autumn, exogenous pathogenic factors due to damp-heat are not suitable to spread, and stagnate in the middle energizer, resulting in dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, chest tightness and abdominal distension.
(4) Moderate cold
Children eat more cold drinks or clothes are too thin, and feel the cold pathogen, which directly affects the spleen and stomach, making the spleen yang weak, unable to warm water and dampness, and Shui Gu's subtle substances cannot be transported, trapped in the middle energizer, resulting in abdominal distension.

1. Eat less high-fiber food. Such as potatoes, pasta, beans, cabbage, cauliflower, onions and other vegetables, they are easy to make gas in the stomach, leading to bloating.
2. Don't eat indigestible food. Hard foods such as fried beans and hard pancakes are not easy to digest, and will stay in the stomach for a long time, producing more gas and causing bloating.
3. change the habit of wolfing down. Bad habits such as eating too fast or eating while walking can easily swallow a lot of air; In addition, drinking drinks through straws will also make a lot of air slip into the stomach, causing bloating.
4. Overcome bad emotions. Negative emotions such as anxiety, anxiety, sadness and depression may also weaken digestive function, or stimulate the stomach to cause hyperacidity, which may also lead to excessive gas in the stomach and aggravate abdominal distension.
5. Pay attention to exercise. Proper exercise every day should be about 1 hour, which not only helps to overcome bad mood, but also helps to maintain the normal function of digestive system.
6. Moderately supplement fiber foods. High-fiber food not only does not cause abdominal distension, but sometimes on the contrary, after eating high-fat food, it sometimes reduces abdominal distension. The reason is that high-fat food is difficult to digest and absorb, so it often stays in the stomach for a long time, and once the fiber is supplemented, the blocked digestive system is likely to be dredged quickly.
7. Pay attention to some diseases. For some diseases, abdominal distension may be a precursor or one of the symptoms. They include allergic enteritis, ulcerative colitis and bladder tumor.
Abdominal distension refers to the symptoms of abdominal fullness, which are mostly caused by gastrointestinal diseases, hypokalemia, hepatobiliary and pancreatic diseases, peritoneal diseases and postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Glutenin allergy (also known as celiac disease) is a digestive tract disease, which is mainly due to the adverse reaction of the intestine to gluten, leading to the autoimmune reaction of the intestine. Gluten allergy not only causes gastrointestinal discomfort, affects nutrient absorption, but also may cause diarrhea, constipation and even anemia.
After kneading, there will be a tensile dough, which is because the "wheat protein" in it forms "gluten". The food made of flour is particularly delicious because of the unique taste and chewiness of gluten.
Unfortunately, not everyone can enjoy food made of flour. People with poor immune systems are particularly sensitive to the gastrointestinal tract. Once they are sensitive to the "wheat protein" of flour, they will have diarrhea or constipation, and their stomachs will always have problems. If you have to eat pasta often because of your eating habits, your stomach will be uncomfortable all day long, affecting digestion and absorption; For children, there will be sequelae such as anemia or other developmental disorders due to insufficient nutritional intake.
This problem, which is particularly sensitive to "wheat protein", is medically called "gluten allergy", also known as celiac disease. The medical community believes that this is only an autoimmune disease of a few people. However, the latest research report of Meyer Medical Center, an authoritative medical center, points out that the number of patients with gluten allergy is actually quite large, especially women aged 40-60, and it is easy to affect their quality of life because of gluten allergy.
Researchers pointed out that patients with gluten allergy are prone to severe diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence and acid stool. However, these symptoms are similar to other gastrointestinal diseases and often hinder the correct diagnosis. Therefore, the researchers suggest that patients with incurable diarrhea and bloating should find out allergens through blood tests; At the same time, the small intestine should be sliced to understand the intestinal situation.
If it can be confirmed that "wheat protein" is the main cause of patients' allergies, we can make use of the findings of diet control and not eat food made of wheat or flour. If you can see the obvious improvement of symptoms after diet control, you can determine the cause of the patient, and you don't need to rush to seek medical treatment because of abdominal distension and diarrhea.
With people's eating habits becoming more and more westernized, the chances of contacting bread, cakes, biscuits and other pasta are high. In addition, the proportion of people eating noodles in China is very high, so most people don't associate gastrointestinal problems with flour. I suggest that if you often have abdominal distension and diarrhea, remind your doctor whether you are allergic to pasta, which may help you find out the cause.
