Hi friends,
With the question " Eating too full leads to stomach heat, bloating, belching, what to do? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
According to normal physiology, food is put in the mouth, chewed, mixed with saliva containing many digestive enzymes, swallowed through the esophagus, down to the stomach. The stomach kneads the food, secretes the softening acid, mixes with the stomach enzymes and then into the duodenum. In the duodenum, food is mixed with bile, pancreatic juice and then into the small intestine. The small intestine will absorb nutrients from food, the rest will pass to the large intestine thanks to the bacteria decompose, reabsorb water and then excrete waste.
What happens when you eat too much:
You feel tired, there are cases of fainting: Because the stomach, intestines and other digestive organs such as liver, bile, pancreas need a large amount of energy immediately This means that to fully digest this food, more blood is mobilized, leading to lack of blood to the brain, causing fatigue. In case you are too hungry and then eat too full and quickly, then the body needs to get energy from sugar stores to help with digestive activities, which can cause low blood sugar, causing fainting, dizziness or even fainting. The stomach is stretched too much, it is difficult to mix food, bowel movements are slowed, digestive enzymes are not released in time, causing pain, slow digestion, and bloating. Food that is not fully digested can ferment causing belching, bloating or breaking down into toxins that are absorbed into the blood, affecting the central nervous system, causing fatigue, memory loss... and even causing gastroenteritis. acute colon. Your symptoms are completely consistent with that you eat too much, you should buy digestive enzymes to drink, if you feel faint, you must go to the hospital immediately for examination, monitoring and treatment.
