"Why Does My Stomach Gurgle with Intestinal Inflammation?"
Stomach rumbling is commonly referred to as bowel sounds. Bowel sounds associated with enteritis can be caused by excessive hunger, accelerated gastrointestinal motility, medication factors, indigestion, intestinal obstruction, and other reasons. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly, identify the underlying cause, and receive corresponding improvements or treatment measures under the guidance of a doctor. Detailed analysis is as follows:
1. Excessive Hunger
If a patient with enteritis has not eaten for an extended period, leading to a state of hunger, the absence of food in the stomach may result in excessive gastric acid secretion and accelerated intestinal motility, thereby triggering bowel sounds. It is advised to consume food appropriately based on one's physical condition, maintain a balanced diet, and avoid overeating.
2. Accelerated Gastrointestinal Motility
During illness, the intestines may become inflamed, leading to accelerated motility and hyperactive bowel sounds, accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension, nausea, and vomiting. Generally, no treatment measures are required, and symptoms may gradually improve and resolve with disease control.
3. Medication Factors
Treatment may involve the use of prokinetic drugs, which can easily cause abnormal intestinal motility and subsequently hyperactive bowel sounds. This is a common adverse drug reaction. If symptoms are mild, no treatment is necessary. However, if symptoms are severe, it is essential to communicate with the doctor promptly and, based on one's physical condition, reduce or discontinue medication as appropriate.
4. Indigestion
During illness, a patient's gastrointestinal digestive function may be affected. Overeating, consuming excessive amounts of difficult-to-digest foods, or chronic alcohol consumption during this period may stimulate intestinal motility and cause bowel sounds. Treatment can include medications such as Bifidobacterium Triple Viable Tablets, Lactobacillus Tablets, and Mosapride Citrate Tablets, as prescribed by a doctor.
5. Intestinal Obstruction
Patients with enteritis who do not strictly follow medical advice during treatment may experience disease progression to the point where there is an obstruction in the passage of rectal contents, leading to symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and bowel sounds. It is recommended that patients undergo gastrointestinal decompression or obstruction resection based on their condition. These surgical procedures can relieve the obstruction, restore intestinal patency, and alleviate discomfort caused by the illness. During treatment, it is important to address negative emotions promptly through activities like tai chi, walking, or practicing Ba Duan Jin, and maintain a positive mindset to aid in recovery. Additionally, monitor the body for severe adverse drug reactions, and seek medical attention promptly if such reactions occur.
