WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF GAS STRAIN?
Gas pain is a condition whose underlying cause is not known exactly, which is called transition period, especially in infants. Since the intestines and intra-abdominal organs begin to move and become active in newborn babies, the intestines cannot be fully absorbed and digested after each feeding. Gas formation occurs. Spicy and acidic foods and drinks eaten by the mother pass to the baby through milk.
Thus, the formation of gas pains occurs. In adults, although nutrition is also in its origin, there is an additional problem related to sports and intestines. Gas formation occurs in the intestine itself as a result of congenital intestinal obstruction, inflammation of the intestines and various metabolic diseases. Likewise, if babies and adults have constipation, they have gas and abdominal pain. These reasons can be reproduced.

Gas pain easily manifests itself physically in babies. Situations such as restlessness, constant crying, pulling your feet towards yourself, not feeding can occur. The moment the gas pains begin, the baby begins to cry violently and pulls his feet towards himself. Her stomach swells and becomes tense. If there is no treatment given by the doctor, massaging the abdomen can instantly relieve the baby, but it does not fully relieve the gas pain.
Another method is to put a warm towel on the feet or abdomen. It is not a preferred application, but it can work when applied. Moving the feet back and forth will relax the intestines and facilitates gas outlet. If the mother is breastfeeding, she should stay away from fizzy and spicy foods and drinks. Such foods and drinks can easily pass to the baby through milk and cause gas pains.
If feeding is done with a bottle, care should be taken not to leave air bubbles in the bottle, after feeding the baby, gently massage the back area or abdomen to release gas. As a result of proper nutrition, gas pains are experienced as much as they should be. In severe gas pains, it is absolutely necessary to consult a specialist pediatrician. Apart from the doctor’s recommendation, no hearsay information should be acted upon, and untried and unheard methods should not be applied to the baby. Every unconscious application will increase gas pain and negatively affect the baby. We wish you healthy days.
