Today I received a consultation message from a patient friend on the consultation platform, saying that he was sitting in the office, and he always farted a lot lately, which was very distressing, and asked himself if he had a bad stomach?
Speaking of farting, whether you are a dignitary or a commoner, it will be released, because this is a natural phenomenon of the human body. This also reminds me of a passage that was widely circulated among my classmates in elementary school, fart is the breath in the belly, there is no reason to let go, the person who lets go is proud, and the person who hears it is depressed. It is precisely because there is a bad smell when farting, so farting in public, whether it is loud or not, it is not very elegant, and it will also bring discomfort to others. And some people often fart in comparison, does this mean that the stomach is not good? Let me now turn to my views.
How are farts formed?
In the medical examination, we have a mandatory content is to listen to the number of "bowel sounds", usually 3-5 times / minute, which indicates that the intestinal peristalsis is good. And some intestinal obstruction patients, will stop defecation and exhaustion, so in the clinic for intestinal obstruction patients, assess their condition to improve we will ask "fart is useless", like some patients who have done abdominal surgery, doctors often in the rounds the first question is also "today fart is useless", I believe that people who have experienced this aspect should have a deep understanding.
Back to the point, because our intestines are constantly peristalting, as long as the intestinal peristalsis is present, there will be gas discharged from the anus, and it will fart. So the question is, why is there gas in the digestive tract? This is because when people eat food, they produce more gas due to the normal flora of the digestive tract. These gases, which run downward with intestinal peristalsis, are excreted from the anus. Note that when discharged, a loud noise is sometimes produced due to the action of the sphincter. Therefore, farting is a manifestation of the normal functioning of the intestine. Conversely, if you don't fart, or if you fart too much or smell too much, it is an anomaly.
How many farts in a day is abnormal?
In fact, although many people fart more, it is a normal situation. According to relevant data, normal people may put 5-20 farts a day, so it doesn't matter in this range. And often we have feelings that the day may be five or six, sometimes in fact, we don't know it, just like falling asleep, in fact, we will fart. So for those who often fart and have a psychological burden, you can take a day out alone and calculate it, as long as it does not exceed 20, you can rest assured.
Also pay attention to whether you have farted more recently and if you really get more, see if it is caused by physiological/food factors, just like beans, which is the most famous fart food. Because beans contain a large percentage of sugar (oligosaccharides), our bodies cannot absorb this substance. When these sugars enter the gut, bacteria begin to work and produce large amounts of gas. In addition, there are other channels that also produce gases, such as inhaled air, air that penetrates into the intestines through blood circulation, and gases contained in carbon dioxide produced after saliva and gastric acid reactions.
In addition, eating too much starchy food such as sweets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. sold in the market and people who eat more pasta also fart more, such foods make the intestinal cavity produce too much gas, resulting in more farts and more feces. Other fart-prone foods include cauliflower, onions, garlic, cabbage, cereal, bread, beans, beer, kale, raw apples, eggs, oranges, tomatoes, strawberries, milk, raisins, oak barrels of liquor, and most fruits and vegetables. Therefore, vegetarians put more farts, but the taste will be much lighter.
Farts, farts smell, please be careful!
Let me start with light, that is, pathological farts and fart odors, many people are suffering from "irritable colorectal syndrome". Such patients also have abdominal pain, bloating and farting in the clinic. It is recommended that people with irritable colorectal syndrome should eat a small number of meals, do not overeat, should chew carefully and swallow slowly, so as not to eat too much air together, avoid eating foods that are easy to produce gas, and can drink a cup of yogurt or other probiotic yogurt every day, which helps to change gastrointestinal bacteria.
Some people are too much to eat low dietary fiber food caused by defecation difficulties, feces in the colon stay for too long, generating a lot of odor; today I also want to focus on some digestive tract tumor patients will often fart, such people put out farts often like rotten eggs, this is because the body's protein metabolism problems will appear This rotten egg smell; note, if the smell of farts contains a bloody smell, more prompts that the possibility of internal gastrointestinal bleeding is relatively large, The blood is decomposed by bacteria in the digestive tract and produces a large odor, and if it is accompanied by black feces, it should be paid attention to.
Comprehensive summary
So to ask if frequent farting is not a bad stomach? If you can rule out, more than 20 or more than ten per day are also combined with fart odor and fart fish, which is more than a prompt for gastrointestinal problems, especially need to pay attention to the exclusion of "(1) irritable colorectal syndrome" and "(2) gastrointestinal tumors". If you see this article friends are having these abnormal conditions I talked about at the moment, it is recommended to go to a digestive specialist in time.
