Taking Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets may help relieve gastric bloating. These tablets enhance gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion, thereby alleviating symptoms of indigestion such as gastric bloating; thus, they can be used for this condition. However, they may not work for everyone. If no improvement is observed after taking them, the underlying cause might be insufficient digestive enzyme production—requiring digestive enzyme supplementation—or intestinal dysbiosis, in which case probiotics may be beneficial.
