Heaviness in the stomach, pain, nausea, heartburn, bloating. Familiar sensations? Nowadays, only a few have no idea what it is. Almost everyone has experienced these symptoms at least once in their life. You do not need to have a medical education to understand that there has been a malfunction in the digestive system. In medicine, this disease is called atony. People say - the stomach got up.
The person himself contributes to the emergence and development of such diseases. Atony is the result of a frivolous attitude to the diet and regularity of nutrition. Few people think about the consequences, snacking when and what they have to.
The risk of atony is very high in those who do not have the opportunity to eat for a long time, and when such an opportunity arises, they take too much food at a time. At risk are those who do not chew food well enough, forcing the digestive system to work in an enhanced mode.
Abuse of spicy and fatty foods, nervous tension and stress, smoking and alcohol. The consequences of such constant loads will not be long in coming. They will manifest themselves in slowing down the digestion of food and stopping the work of the gastrointestinal tract.
Bad teeth and gums can also be a source of digestive problems. Pathogenic microorganisms, getting into the stomach, have a negative impact on its work.
What to do
Those who periodically encounter this problem and those who are at risk are concerned about the question: what to do in case of gastric arrest.
Relatively quickly remove unpleasant and painful sensations will help drugs that stimulate the tone of the smooth muscles of the digestive system. For example, Gastrofarm, Pancreatin, Festal, Panzinorm and other similar drugs.
There are several folk ways to improve the functioning of the digestive tract, which are used at home:
- soda. In one glass of very hot water, dissolve ½ teaspoon of soda. When the solution has cooled, drink. After about five minutes, the condition improves significantly; for gastritis or stomach ulcers, it is better to use soda extremely rarely and with extreme caution;
- cinnamon. One teaspoon of cinnamon is diluted in a glass of water (it is better to take hot water). Mix well and cook for five minutes. Such a decoction is taken three to four times a day, half an hour before meals;
- . It is used in the form of a powder, you can drink it with water. Six teaspoons of powder daily (several times a day in equal portions before meals);
- A mixture of marshmallow, fennel and buckthorn. Marshmallow root, fennel fruit and alder buckthorn bark are crushed to a powder and mixed in equal amounts. A tablespoon of this powder is poured into a glass of boiling water. Put on fire and let it boil. Then let it brew for half an hour. Take one glass after meals three times a day. You need to drink for a month. Such a decoction contributes to better absorption of food;
- oregano. 10 g of this herb is poured with boiling water (200 ml) and infused for 30 minutes. Take ½ tablespoon twice a day.

To remove toxins from the body that are released as a result of fermentation and decomposition of the accumulated food mass, you can drink activated charcoal. Coal is taken at the rate of one tablet per 10 kg of body weight. Mineral water, as well as non-sweet green tea (strong), will have a beneficial effect on the body. These drinks will eliminate bloating, belching and heaviness in the stomach. They need to be drunk little by little, in small sips.
Atony in pregnant women
For many women, the stomach begins to work poorly during pregnancy. There are reasons for this:
- hormonal changes. Progesterone produced in large quantities relaxes the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract, and it cannot function normally;
- increased pressure in the abdominal cavity. All internal organs are subject to pressure from the developing fetus. As a result, they are displaced from their usual places, which causes a disruption in the entire digestive system;
- change in diet. During pregnancy, most women are addicted to some particular type of food (salty, sweet, sour, etc.). Moreover, eating all this, they completely do not pay attention to the amount eaten. Such nutrition also negatively affects the work of the digestive tract.
So, if the stomach of a pregnant woman has risen, you need to be patient and survive this period. After the birth of a child, the production of progesterone will decrease, the internal organs will take their usual places, and the diet will return to normal. All functions of the digestive organs will be restored. 
But it will be later. But what if the stomach got up while the woman is still in the process of bearing a child?
Taking medications during pregnancy can be dangerous for the fetus, so it is highly undesirable. To force the stomach to work, you can use only what will definitely not hurt the child. For example, mineral water (it is better to buy it in pharmacies), kefir, activated charcoal, herbal decoctions.
To prevent the occurrence of atony, it is necessary to apply preventive measures:
- - You need to eat little and often. You can not load the stomach with large amounts of food;
- - take food at the same time. The stomach and pancreas will be prepared for the digestion process;
- - The temperature of the food taken should be close to body temperature. Eating very hot or very cold is not recommended;
- - Dinner should be at least two hours before bedtime;
- - exclude spicy, fatty and too sweet foods from your menu.

There is a belching with the smell of spoiled eggs, the child refuses to eat, cannot empty the intestines, his stomach swells, and the temperature rises. Very often, these signs of atony are accompanied by vomiting.
The disease can be caused by various reasons. Most often, this ailment occurs due to malnutrition. Usually young parents try to give the child as much nutrition as possible. This inevitably leads to overeating, and overeating, in turn, to problems with the organs of the digestive system. When a baby has a sore throat, sputum with pathogenic bacteria entering the stomach can also cause atony. 
If the child has a process of digestion of food, it is worth thinking about the presence of a more serious disease. This may be a manifestation of viral hepatitis, viral infection, diabetes mellitus, diseases of the central nervous system, etc. To exclude them, a specialist consultation is necessary.

During pregnancy, many drugs are prohibited. If necessary, they can be assigned Passagex"(eliminates attacks of nausea and vomiting, improves peristalsis). " metoclopramide"blocks dopamine and serotonin receptors, helps in the healing of ulcers, increases the activity of the digestive system, fights hiccups.
Diet
When the stomach got up and stopped working, what should I do? A properly composed diet helps to make the body function again. It improves intestinal motility. The basis of the diet should be proteins. The daily norm of kcal is 3000 units. The menu must include:
Rice, pears and boiled eggs are excluded from the diet. They have a binding effect. Also excluded are all products that provoke the accumulation of gases:
- black bread;
- yeast baking;

You need to eat in small portions, it is important to chew food thoroughly and avoid overeating. Fermented milk products and those in which there is a lot of fiber should be present daily in the diet.
Food must be stewed, boiled or steamed. Fried, salted, smoked and spicy are prohibited. The menu should include vegetable soups in a weak broth (used at least once a day). Be sure to drink at least 1.5 liters of water per day. All carbonated drinks, alcohol are excluded. It is important to quit smoking. With severe vomiting, dehydration should be avoided.
Physiotherapy
How to make the stomach work again with the help of therapeutic exercises? There are several effective exercises that will help restore the work of the stomach. They help to warm up the muscles and disperse the blood. As a result, the stomach is stimulated. The simplest and most effective exercises:
- « Legs behind head". You need to lie on the floor, on your back. Then raise your legs up and try to get them behind your head. In this case, you need to raise the pelvis.
- « Scissors". Starting position - lying on your back. Stretch your legs, then slightly raise them off the floor. Keep your hands under your pelvis. Then start to cross the weight in turn legs.
- « Bike". It is performed lying on your back. Bend your legs at the knees, then straighten them alternately (simulating pedal rotation).
- « rifts". Lie on your back, bend and pull your legs to your chest. Roll in turns in different directions.
- Get on your knees, put your hands on the floor. Alternately straighten your legs with quick jerks.
- Make sharp bends from side to side.
However, exercises can only be performed if atony is not accompanied by pain. Gymnastics helps well when there are symptoms such as belching, heaviness in the abdomen and small bouts of nausea.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps to quickly start an idle stomach. To normalize motor skills can be assigned:
To achieve a quick and long-term effect, the procedures are carried out in courses of several sessions, daily. Massage also helps a lot. However, it is done only in the absence of pain or their complete elimination. Basic movements - stroking, patting, rubbing and pinching
Surgical operations
Surgical operations for atony are ineffective. However, if it is secondary, then it is necessary to eliminate the cause that caused it. In this case, surgery may be performed. Sometimes emergency help is needed. In this case, a special probe is inserted into the patient's stomach.
It helps prevent stretching of the walls and rupture of the organ. If the cause of atony is a tumor, it is excised. In this case, the organ may be partially affected. In general, the treatment of a stopped stomach is not surgically performed.

Folk remedies
If the stomach stops, what to do at home? You can drink a decoction of marshmallow root, fennel seeds and bark of buckthorn for a month (the mixture is sold in pharmacies or prepared independently). The remedy is taken daily. Another effective home remedy is milk thistle. This herb helps to restore the work of the stomach. Milk thistle can be ground into a powder yourself or purchased ready-made in a pharmacy. The drug is taken several times a day.
However, you need to use mineral water after consulting a doctor. Fizz (soda dissolved in water) helps to eliminate the manifestations of heartburn. However, the drink can provoke the appearance of ulcers and gastritis. It is also not recommended to add citric acid to the drink.
Recovery of the stomach after poisoning
If atony appeared after poisoning or a hangover, then a strict diet is observed first of all. On the first day, you can only eat white bread crackers, rice (or oatmeal) porridge, which are cooked in water. You need to eat in small portions. Drink a glass of water every 20 minutes before a meal. In general, its amount per day should be at least 1.5 liters.
To restore the work of the stomach, only sparing food should be selected. It is better if it is ground into gruel. Coarse, fatty, spicy and smoked foods are completely excluded for a while. With severe pain, you can drink "Mezim" or "Gastal". Additionally, drugs are prescribed that restore the mucous membrane of the organ.
If the work of the stomach is not restored in time, it threatens with serious complications and the appearance of a number of diseases. After restoring the functioning of the body, it is advisable to do gymnastics daily, adhere to the rules of nutrition, take vitamins and eliminate stress.
In the event that as a result of overeating or an infectious process, the stomach stops, symptoms occur almost immediately - after 2-4 hours from the onset of the disease. In some cases, the disrupted work of the gastrointestinal tract is a functional disorder, in the rest, digestive problems are associated with chronic inflammation of the stomach wall or acute poisoning.
In medical circles, stopping the stomach is called functional dyspepsia. This term is understood as a transient disturbance of digestion processes as a result of excessive stretching and irritation of the organ wall with rough food, microbial agents. Also in the development of dyspepsia, a permanent or transient increase in the acidity of the digestive juice, dysfunction of the motility of the gastrointestinal tract plays an important role.
Common causes of dyspeptic syndrome:
In some cases, dyspepsia is an independent disease that occurs against the background of dietary errors or stressful situations. Such a diagnosis is established by the method of exclusion - it is important to confirm the absence of chronic gastrointestinal pathology in a patient.
Symptoms of the disease
Symptoms of gastric arrest are often associated with overeating and occur in individuals predisposed to this. This condition is also called postprandial distress syndrome. Its features include:
- aching pains, a strong burning sensation in the epigastric region proper (upper abdomen above the navel);
- feeling of fullness in the stomach after eating;
- earlier satiety with food, even after taking small portions (worried during the last 3 months).
To establish the diagnosis of postprandial distress syndrome within the framework of functional dyspepsia (FD), the doctor must exclude any organic or systemic pathology.
Nonspecific symptoms of this syndrome include: nausea, bloating with abdominal gases, belching, less often vomiting, fatigue and irritability.
There is also an "ulcer-like" type of FD, in which the following complaints come to the fore:
- on recurrent pains of an acute or spastic nature in the epigastric region, which are aggravated after eating;
- for pain in the upper abdomen at night and on an empty stomach;
- on a feeling of heaviness in the projection of the stomach, discomfort in the abdomen.
It is noteworthy that the listed symptoms in such patients fade or completely disappear after taking antacids.
Signs of gastric arrest in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
When the stomach is on the background of an exacerbation of gastritis or peptic ulcer, the symptoms of the disease are often associated with food. These include:
- pain in the stomach, left hypochondrium, which occurs 20-40 minutes after eating;
- nausea, vomiting with an admixture of bile;
- feeling of discomfort or heaviness, frequent belching with an unpleasant sour smell;
- constant bloating, constipation.
These complaints arise due to active inflammation of the gastric mucosa, impaired motor function of the organ and a sharp increase in the level of acidity of the digestive juice. Often there is a pathological reflux of the contents of the stomach back into the lumen of the esophagus - reflux. It is manifested by frequent heartburn, especially when lying down, bending forward, bad breath and "sour" belching.
Reflux is often observed during pregnancy due to the fact that an enlarged uterus increases intra-abdominal pressure, "presses" on the diaphragm and irritates the branches of the vagus nerve.
Symptoms of infectious gastroenteritis
Abruptly appearing symptoms that the stomach does not work may indicate an acute intestinal infection or food poisoning. Infection mainly occurs through the use of dirty water, spoiled or improperly stored food. The infection is also transmitted by the fecal-oral route, through contaminated hands.
On average, the incubation period lasts 2-5 hours. The disease usually begins with an increase in body temperature and bright dyspeptic symptoms:
Vomiting usually brings some relief, though not for long. Pain is caused by the influence of bacterial toxins on the walls of the stomach and intestines, spasms of smooth muscles. Appetite greatly deteriorates or disappears completely. Later, frequent loose stools join.
In some cases, signs of poisoning and “stopping” of the stomach disappear on their own after food rest and taking painkillers. Most often, this condition requires medical intervention, the appointment of infusion therapy and a strict diet for the period of illness. Otherwise, the risk of dehydration increases against the background of repeated vomiting and diarrhea.
In addition, the patient may complain of headaches, constant nausea, rumbling in the intestines and flatulence.

Basic principles of diagnostics
If you suspect functional dyspepsia, exacerbation of chronic gastroduodenitis or stomach ulcers, the following types of examinations are prescribed:
In addition, all patients are prescribed a biochemical and clinical blood test (determine the level of liver enzymes, bilirubin, leukocytes). A coprocytogram, PCR of feces for helicobacteriosis is highly informative.
Stomach arrest (atony) is not a simple condition in the work of the digestive system. With this pathology, vivid symptoms appear, such as nausea, belching, loss of appetite, pain, weakness and other sensations.
Stomach arrest can be caused by many reasons. The first of these are considered to be: malnutrition, regular overeating, eating out of time, exhaustion. An organ that is too lazy to work has serious malfunctions in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
With such problems, you need to see a doctor who knows how to start the stomach. He will prescribe an appropriate examination and treatment, which necessarily includes diet therapy. In order for this organ to begin to properly perform its functions, it is necessary that the food be at the right temperature, and also have a certain acidity.
Why might not work
When there is a malfunction of the department that is responsible for peristalsis, the stomach can slow down. With a decrease in muscle tone, motor passivity of the organ occurs. As a result, he stops.
If the cause of this fact was an infection, then intoxication of the body, accompanied by high body temperature and pain, stands out among the clinical picture.
The main cause of atony is known to all, because it is widespread in our society. This is due to malnutrition: junk food, eating disorders, snacking, etc. All this adversely affects the work of the stomach and the entire digestive tract.
Also, bloating can occur from the fact that a person in a hurry swallows food without chewing it well. At the same time, the stomach begins to expend a lot of energy in order to digest food. In the future, this can lead to the development of putrefactive processes in the organ, as well as other unpleasant consequences.
Other factors may be the reason for the stop, but they are not so common:
- Violation of the nervous system.
- Bad habits resulting in impaired blood flow. It can be constant smoking, overeating, alcohol abuse.
- Sharp weight loss.
- Viral diseases.
- Severe fatigue or emotional state.
- Use of a diet inappropriate for the patient.
If you consult a doctor in a timely manner and take treatment, you can quickly overcome this condition and improve the functioning of the digestive system.
State manifestation
Of course, with atony, there are characteristic symptoms, the appearance of which a person should be wary of. The obvious discomfort that is felt in the abdomen is hard to miss. Sometimes the patient may even lose his ability to work, because in addition to heaviness, severe pain is also felt in the organ.
Even if in this case you find the right medicines, you still need to see a doctor. In addition to abdominal pain, when the stomach stops, the following symptoms appear, which we give below:
- Sensation of full stomach and bowels.
- Along with a feeling of bloating, the patient experiences intense burning and nausea.
- Pain, which is mainly localized in the lower abdomen, can be sharp or aching.
- Loss of strength, and in some cases, an increase in body temperature.
- When the stomach does not work, the patient feels full even after a small portion of food.
- Bad breath.
- Loss of appetite.
- Some patients may suffer from hiccups and shortness of breath.
Diagnostics
Before starting the stomach, the doctor must make sure that this is atony. The fact is that diseases such as ulcers, gastritis, the development of formations inside the organ, have the same manifestations. If we limit ourselves only to a general examination and collection of anamnesis, the patient may be given an incorrect diagnosis, and the treatment will not give positive results.
If atony is suspected, diagnostics is carried out by gastroenterologists and a number of other specialists. In order not to confuse atony with other diseases, certain studies are prescribed:
- General examination of the patient.
- Testing: blood, urine, feces.
- Fibrogastroscopy. This research method, which has been used not so long ago, will help to examine the internal walls of the stomach with an endoscope.
- Ultrasound of the gastrointestinal tract.
- X-ray using a special contrast agent.
If the doctor cannot decide on the diagnosis, he refers the patient to other specialists: a neuropathologist, a physiotherapist. After clarifying the clinical picture, the doctor will be able to choose the right treatment for the patient.
What to do if the stomach of a child and an adult has risen
When a person has a similar problem, he immediately begins to think about how to get rid of an unpleasant ailment. This issue must be approached in a comprehensive manner. Treatment of atony includes: drug therapy, diet, exercise therapy and traditional medicine recipes.
It is worth noting that it is worth paying special attention to such an item in the treatment of the stomach as a diet. It is thanks to proper nutrition that the patient will be able to protect the gastrointestinal tract from further complications, as well as provide the body with useful substances. Treatment is prescribed by the doctor, taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient.
What to do if the stomach has risen, and there is discomfort and burning inside? In addition, the patient is tormented by malfunctions in the intestines and other unpleasant symptoms. This situation can be not only in adults, but also in children of different ages. Therefore, it is important to know what first aid can be provided to the patient.
The child has
A disease such as gastric arrest in children is determined quickly. His symptoms appear immediately and look very bright. The child's condition becomes depressed, painful. He is constantly naughty and eats poorly or refuses to eat at all.
For first aid, it is necessary to lay the baby on either side, while the legs at the knees should be bent. Next, you need to put a warm heating pad on the patient's stomach and warm it up for half an hour. After that, the child should drink a glass of warm water. Now he should stroke his tummy clockwise. This procedure can take up to 30 minutes. The measures taken are able to start the work of the stomach of a sick child.
If the child has nausea when stopping, it is better to induce vomiting. Then vomiting will help clear the stomach of the food lump, after which it will be able to resume its functions. In the event that a similar condition is repeated in a child with some sequence, it is necessary to review his diet. Those foods that initiate indigestion are best not eaten at all.
In an adult
The main method of treating atony in an adult is taking medications in combination with an appropriate diet. If nausea occurs during an attack of the disease, the patient should take medications that can normalize the condition of the stomach and extinguish the intoxication emanating from certain products.
Special preparations are able to restore muscle tone, which will begin to move the food lump to the intestines. Thus, the functions of the stomach and other digestive organs will resume. Often when stopping, folk remedies are used. They will not only support the work of the body, but also help the body get rid of toxins and other harmful elements.
During an exacerbation of the disease, doctors advise not to take any food until the unpleasant symptoms disappear. After the condition improves, you need to eat small portions every two hours. In case of disruption of the digestive organs, when the patient is tormented by acute pain, it is first of all important to establish proper nutrition.
In pregnant women
Stopping the stomach in women who develop a fetus inside is common. This is due to large-scale changes in the functioning of the body. What to do if the stomach in pregnant women has risen? In order to prevent such a state, one must not forget about the main rule - eat right. Otherwise, pain, stool problems, etc. may appear.
To prevent the disease, doctors recommend expectant mothers to eat natural products. The diet should be predominantly fruits and vegetables, especially fresh ones. Eat often, but in small portions. If improvement does not occur even with a diet, you should contact a gastroenterologist who will prescribe a gentle treatment.
As medical practice has shown, all patients suffering from frequent gastric arrest can be combined into one group. The cause of their diseases is mainly malnutrition. In addition, this fact can be attributed to the occurrence of many other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
Stopping problems are often encountered by people who are forced to snack or eat on the go due to the specifics of their work. In this case, the food is swallowed in large pieces, so when digesting the stomach, there is a big load that it simply cannot cope with.
In order to get rid of unpleasant symptoms and make the body work again, doctors suggest following simple recommendations, which we have already written about more than once.
Food should be taken in small quantities every 2-3 hours. After improvement of a condition of a portion to increase gradually. During the period of inflammation, refuse to take dishes from rice, boiled eggs, and pears. You can not drink drinks with gas.
Stopping the stomach (doctors call this condition atony) is a fairly serious violation of the organ, which is manifested by pain of an acute or aching nature, deterioration in well-being, lack of appetite, frequent unpleasant belching and general discomfort.
The stomach can stop working at any moment, it can happen at any age, so you need to know not only the symptoms of the condition in question, but also the methods for solving the problem.
Symptoms of gastric arrest
It is not difficult to diagnose the “stomach standing up” condition - its symptoms are too pronounced, they simply cannot be ignored. The very first symptom of gastric arrest is aching. These pains become less intense if a person takes a supine position on his side, but in general the pain syndrome is so strong that it can provoke the appearance of a stable
But for an accurate diagnosis, knowledge of all the symptoms of gastric arrest is useful:
Note:in some cases, gastric arrest is accompanied by an increase in body temperature, which means the addition of an infectious factor.
Causes and provoking factors
Doctors identify several causes of gastric arrest:
The stomach got up: what to do at home
Of course, the condition in question requires diagnosis and differentiation, so the best option would be to seek qualified medical help. But since in most cases this is almost impossible to implement, you need to know what will help solve the problem at home.
Gymnastic exercises
Various exercises to restore the work of the stomach should be done only after the pain subsides. Gymnastics in this case will act as a preventive measure, but if you perform it regularly, you can get rid of the attacks of the condition in question for a long time.
The most effective exercises in this case will be:
- "bicycle" - a person lies on his back, raises his legs, bent at the knees, and makes movements with them that resemble riding a bicycle;
- “birch” - lying on your back, raise your straight legs up, you must definitely tear your buttocks off the floor, it is advisable to put your legs behind your head and hold in this position for 10 seconds;
- "Scissors" - lying on your back, raise your straight legs and cross them in this position, then make vigorous movements that imitate the work of scissors.
Note: All these exercises should be done only after preliminary preparation. In principle, they can simply be included in the morning exercise complex, and then there will be a double benefit: the extra pounds will go away, and the stomach will work without failures.
Phytotherapy
The use of some funds from the category of "folk medicine" will help not only to resume the work of the stomach, but also to stabilize its condition. Milk thistle, marshmallow root, and oregano are believed to be effective herbs for gastric arrest.
Oregano must be poured with boiling water and infused for 30 minutes. The daily dose of this remedy is 200 ml, which should be divided into two doses. The infusion is prepared from 1 tablespoon of dry raw materials and 300 ml of water.
Before eating, you need to take a teaspoon of milk thistle (dry and chopped) and eat it with plenty of warm water. There can be a maximum of three such receptions per day.
Marshmallow root for gastric arrest is used only in combination with fennel fruits. You need to mix two plants in equal proportions, then take 1 tablespoon of the mixture and pour 300 ml of boiling water, insist for 30 minutes and strain. This remedy is used in an amount of 250 ml after the main meals.
Note:it is possible to use medicinal plants when stopping the stomach only if you are sure that there is no allergic reaction to them.
Diet correction
Since when the stomach stops, a person’s appetite generally disappears, then it’s inappropriate to talk about what he can eat and what he can’t. But as soon as the desire to eat has appeared, you need to eat only light, low-fat, non-spicy and non-marinated dishes.
In general, for 2-3 days after stopping the stomach, it is worth limiting the intake of the following products:
- fatty meat and fish;
- any meat products in fried, salted and smoked form;
- beets, beans, beans and peas;
- plums, grapes, bananas, apples;
- rice, pasta;
- fresh and sauerkraut;
- lard, butter;
- whole milk and cream;
- White bread;
- confectionery and bakery products.
To avoid stopping the stomach in the future, you should get used to eating at a certain time, give up sandwich snacks. The last meal should not be plentiful and too heavy - in the evening it is better to eat a vegetable salad, boiled or stewed meat, a piece of baked fish. It is highly desirable to arrange fasting days once a week, when a small amount of one product is consumed every 3 hours.
How to urgently help with gastric arrest
So, the fact is already there: the stomach has risen, so you need to quickly take some measures so that the organ works in normal mode. The most reasonable solution would be the use of specific drugs that can quickly "start" the stomach: Mezim forte, Pancreatin, Peknzital. In principle, these are all analogues, so there should be one thing in the first-aid kit at home.
As a rule, these drugs are used immediately when the first symptoms of gastric arrest appear - 1 tablet will be enough, rarely you may need to take the drug again if relief does not come after 20 minutes.
Note:many, if the stomach has risen, drink "fizz" (soda with citric acid, diluted with water) or use baking soda. They have an active eructation, and the stomach begins to work. This method of solving the problem, although effective, is very dangerous. With the frequent use of such funds, and can develop.
Stopping the stomach is an unpleasant condition that brings a lot of discomfort to a person’s life. You can correct the situation “urgently” with specific medicines, but this is not a solution to the problem. It is important to seek qualified help, get prescriptions from a doctor and strictly adhere to them. Only in this case it will be possible to prevent gastric arrest and the development of various diseases in the future.
