Farting is a very normal physiological phenomenon, after entering the intestines into food, it will produce some gas under the action of some normal flora in the digestive tract. These gases are excreted through the anus along with the intestinal peristalsis.
For healthy people, the number of farts per day is about 10 to 15 times, and about 500 ml of gas is emitted. However, in daily life, many people will fart more, which will have a greater impact on their lives. So there are a lot of people who want to know, what the hell is going on with farting?
What are the reasons for farting too much?
First, the eating factor
One of the main reasons for farting is related to eating factors, such as for people who are particularly fond of meat, it is easy to fart frequently, and it will have a very serious odor.
The digestion speed of meat food is very slow, after entering the gastrointestinal tract, it needs to be digested, decomposed and metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, and it will be decomposed and fermented by the intestinal flora, and a large amount of gas will be generated.
Not only will people have more obvious bloating or easy to burp, gas will also be discharged downward with intestinal peristalsis, thus forming a fart.
In addition, if you particularly like to eat some gas-producing foods, such as sweet potatoes, taro, yams, radishes and various beans, pasta, or especially like to eat some foods with peculiar smells, similar to raw onions, raw garlic, leeks, onions, etc.
These foods contain a large number of mechanisms that can produce hydrogen sulfide carbon dioxide, and once consumed too much, it will lead to an increase in exhaust gases in the body, resulting in the phenomenon of continuous farting.
For people who eat faster, or habitually walk while eating, laughing while eating, because when eating, a large amount of air will enter the gastrointestinal tract with food, resulting in a large amount of gas accumulated in the gastrointestinal tract, that is, there is a lot of farting. Moreover, it will affect the overall digestive function, which will lead to repeated bloating and abdominal pain.
2. Disease factors
Especially when suffering from some intestinal inflammation, it is easy to fart a lot. Most of the causes of enteritis are related to infection with bacteria, fungi, viruses or mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Once infected with these pathogenic microorganisms, the intestinal flora will be rapidly imbalanced, and the intestinal mucosa will be damaged, and abdominal pain, diarrhea and bloating will occur easily.
And due to the imbalance of the intestinal flora, digestive and metabolic functions will be abnormal, resulting in a large amount of food debris accumulated in the intestine. These food residues will ferment under the action of the microflora and produce more gas, resulting in a lot of farting.
In addition, if you have irritable bowel syndrome, the intestinal flora will also be unbalanced, and the intestinal motility will increase, so that people will have repeated pain in the lower abdomen or diarrhea, constipation, and will also be accompanied by repeated bloating or farting.
This can also happen if there are polyps or tumors in the intestines. It is also accompanied by a series of problems such as blood in the stool, increased frequency of bowel movements, and thinning of the shape of the stool.
All in all, if there is a phenomenon of farting in daily life, it is generally caused by the above two factors. In addition, if you have some stomach diseases or liver and gallbladder diseases, it can also cause this phenomenon.
Therefore, when there is a phenomenon of farting, if it is accompanied by some other discomfort, then it is necessary to quickly enter the hospital for a series of examinations and give corresponding treatment according to the cause. And we must pay attention to the adjustment of diet and mood, which can effectively improve the phenomenon of farting and achieve the role of maintaining their own health.
