how can i clean my stomach instantly - #13531

Parth

I am really struggling with feeling bloated and uncomfortable, and I'm wondering how can I clean my stomach instantly? Like just a few days ago, I had a huge family dinner, and ever since then, my belly has felt like a balloon! I've tried drinking tons of water and even eating yogurt, but nothing seems to work. My friend mentioned that some people use certain drinks or even fasting to clean their stomach quickly, and I want to know if that's legit. Seriously, I feel like any time I eat, it just settles like a rock. Last night I felt so overstuffed after just a little meal, and I can't focus on anything else. I read somewhere else that certain detox teas might work, but I'm super skeptical. Are there any quick fixes or tips from your experiences on how can I clean my stomach instantly? I guess I'm just feeling kinda lost and need practical advice. I just don’t wanna spend another day like this, ugh! If anyone has tried something that works really fast, please share!

Doctors’ responses

Feeling bloated can be pretty uncomfortable, and while there’s no magic bullet to “instantly” clean your stomach, there are a few strategies that can help alleviate these symptoms in a short time. First, pay attention to your diet. Avoid heavy, greasy, or high-fiber meals temporarily, as these can contribute further bloating. Instead, focus on smaller, more frequent meals with easily digestible foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast. This BRAT diet can be gentler on your system. Drinking peppermint tea might soothe your digestive tract since peppermint has properties that can help relieve spasms in the gut. However, stay away from carbonated beverages as they can increase gas buildup. While some advocate for fasting, it’s not typically recommended as a quick fix for stomach issues because it can leave you feeling lightheaded or weak, especially if you’re not consuming sufficient nutrients. Engaging in light physical activity, like walking, can also help move gas through the digestive system, providing some relief. Medically speaking, an over-the-counter option you might consider is simethicone, which helps break down gas bubbles in the gut. Additionally, probiotics like those found in yogurt can sometimes take longer to benefit gut health, so consistency over time is key rather than expecting an immediate effect. If these interventions don’t provide relief or if you experience symptoms like severe pain, vomiting, or rectal bleeding, it’s important to see a healthcare provider as it may indicate something more serious needing attention. As for detox teas, there isn’t consistent scientific evidence supporting them, and they often contain stimulants that could cause more digestive distress. So, it’s best approached with caution. Focus on hydration and balance until you notice improvement.
