The high stomach happens as a result of distension of the abdomen and it can be due to consuming high sugar and fat diet, constipation and inability to do physical activity.
Aside from swelling of the abdominal region, there may be discomfort and difficulty in breathing, depending on the severity of the stomach pain. Other symptoms that may be experienced include poor digestion, malaise and increased risk of inflammation of the intestine.
The high stomach can happen due to several conditions, the main ones being:
1. Poor nutrition
Contents
Consumption of foods rich in sugar or fat can favour the occurrence of a high stomach. This is because these foods undergo fermentation in the body and they produce many gases which lead to abdominal distention.
Moreover, the mode of consumption of a particular food can also lead to high stomach, especially when eating too fast, as there is little chewing or when the intervals between meals is too small. Apart from having a high stomach there is increased risk of weight gain and accumulation of fat in the abdominal region.
Eating too much food at once or foods that cause symptoms of intolerance can cause also cause a high stomach.
Consuming too much food at once or from foods that cause some symptom of intolerance can also cause a high stomach.
2. Intestinal problems
Some intestinal problems can also cause a high stomach. This is because, inflammation of structures in the intestine can lead to production of gases and abdominal swelling. Therefore, people suffering from constipation, intestinal infections, diarrhoea or irritable bowel syndrome may experience a high stomach.
3. Sedentary lifestyle
Lack of physical activity can also lead to a high stomach. This is because the food consumed is stored in the body in form of fat, hence resulting to bloating.
4. Genetics
The high stomach can also be due to genetic factors and it can affect thin people as well, who eat properly or those who practice regular physical activity.
In such cases, it is recommended to seek guidance from a doctor that the high stomach is evaluated and checked for any health risks, so that the right treatment can be started as soon as possible.
If the high stomach does not cause aesthetic or functional problems in an individual, treatment should be customized according to the symptoms of the patient.
