What is the cause of stomach distension in the middle of the night?

Midnight bloating is considered to be caused by physiological factors, gastritis, pyloric obstruction and other reasons, as follows:

1. Physiological factors

If the patient eats too much gas-producing food before going to bed, such as onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., these foods may produce a lot of gas in the stomach, causing bloating in the middle of the night.

2. Gastritis

If the patient has gastritis, the digestive ability of the stomach is often weakened, affecting the digestion speed of food, causing it to stay in the stomach and ferment to produce gas, thus causing bloating in the middle of the night.

3.

When pyloric obstruction occurs, food cannot enter the intestinal tract through the pyloric tract, and it will accumulate in the stomach, making the patient feel bloated.
