Eating contaminated food items that have bacteria on them can also result in diarrhea and gas production.Ībdominal adhesions: This is a complication of previous abdominal surgery, whereby abnormal healing of the tissues near the digestive tract can lead to restriction of food or gas passage through intestines. Other disorders that affect the movement of the gut may result in small air pockets leading to discomfort. GI disorders: Inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis can affect the lining of the large intestine, leading to abdominal discomfort.
Swallowing too much air-called aerophagia-during times of eating, chewing, mouth breathing, and hyperventilation can also lead to abdominal discomfort due to splenic flexure syndrome. Undigested food in the digestive tract commonly produces excessive amounts of gas. This may be caused by fatty foods and gas production leading to abdominal distention. Relief of gas accumulation can be achieved by simply passing gas, but unfortunately, those with splenic flexure syndrome have difficulty doing so.Ībdominal distention: This can occur when too much space accumulates in the gastric area, leading to feelings of discomfort. The trapped air pushes on the inner lining of the gastric mucosa, putting pressure on the surrounding structures, leading to pain and discomfort. Gas accumulation: This is thought to be the most common cause of splenic flexure syndrome and it occurs due to trapped air in the gastrointestinal tract.
