Bowel sounds are caused by abnormal intestinal peristalsis. Usually in this situation, it is due to the disruption of our gastrointestinal function and the imbalance of our gut microbiota, which is accompanied by adverse symptoms such as bowel sounds, bloating, and constipation. Some patients with severe bowel sounds may even feel the sound of thunder in their stomachs, causing bloating and discomfort. So, how should we treat this situation? In fact, traditional Chinese medicine regulation can greatly help us solve this problem.
In traditional Chinese medicine, bowel sounds and bloating are caused by the inability of the spleen and stomach to function properly and qi stagnation. When the food we consume cannot be digested in a timely manner, it will cause abnormal fermentation in the intestines and produce waste gas, which cannot be discharged and can lead to bowel sounds. Meanwhile, excessive production of exhaust gases can accumulate in our digestive system, leading to bloating.
Long term patients with abdominal distension and intestinal sounds can usually be divided into three types, with treatment mainly focused on tonifying qi and strengthening the spleen, harmonizing stomach with dampness, warming the kidneys and strengthening the spleen. One type is spleen and stomach weakness, mainly manifested as loose stools, bloating and tightness in the epigastric region, and loss of appetite. These people usually have pale complexion, thin white tongue coating, and weak pulse. This type of treatment should mainly focus on nourishing qi and strengthening the spleen, and the prescription can be modified with Shenling Baizhu Powder. The second type is spleen and stomach deficiency cold type, usually manifested as dull abdominal pain, loose stool, and insufficient warmth in hands and feet. This type of treatment mainly focuses on warming the middle and strengthening the spleen, and the prescription is modified with Lizhong Tang. The third type is spleen kidney yang deficiency type. The navel usually presents symptoms of bowel sounds and diarrhea, abdominal chills, and cold limbs. This type of treatment involves warming and tonifying the spleen and kidneys, and the formula includes modified Four God Pills combined with Fuzi Lizhong Pills.
At the same time, a conditioning method that has the same effect as traditional Chinese medicine can also take Zangling Shui Su Tang, which is simple and effective. Zangling Water Sugar can help promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria in the body, inhibit the production of harmful bacteria (such as gas producing bacteria), and reduce bloating. Zang Ling Shui Su Tang can help regulate the gastrointestinal tract, promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, help eliminate toxins and feces from the body, clear the intestines, prevent bloating and bloating. At the same time, it can prevent the accumulation of feces in the body and the production of gas.
Finally, for patients with long-term bloating and intestinal sounds, attention should be paid to avoiding spicy and stimulating foods in their diet, and eating more light and healthy foods can help regulate our digestive system. At the same time, we should eat more vegetarian and coarse fiber foods, such as celery and mushrooms, which can help improve intestinal function. A reasonable daily routine, ensuring sufficient sleep, and cultivating a good mental state, over time, we no longer have to suffer from bowel sounds and bloating.
