Fart is a kind of exhaust gas discharged from the anus, which is a gas produced by the decomposition of intestinal bacteria after food is mixed with a series of digestive juices such as gastric juice, saliva and bile.
Farting is a sign of normal intestinal functioning, and healthy adults fart about 10 to 15 times a day.
However, in daily life, many people will have a large number of farts every day, and it is very likely to be accompanied by a more obvious odor and other discomfort.
There are many reasons for this phenomenon, and the following is introduced for everyone.
What are the reasons for always farting?
First, eat too much gas-producing food
If there is no other discomfort in the daily fart phenomenon, such as abdominal pain or indigestion, then it is generally related to eating too much gas-producing food.
For example, in daily life, many people especially like to eat some beans, radishes, onions, raw garlic, ginger, leeks and a lot of pasta.
In these foods, there are a large number of matrix substances that can produce some gases such as hydrogen chloride and carbon dioxide.
Once you eat too much, you will react with some bacteria in the intestine, resulting in a large amount of gas, which will make people fart a lot.
Second, the way of eating is improper
There are many people who eat very quickly, such as the act of swallowing in large mouths. If the speed of eating is relatively fast, a large amount of air will enter the gastrointestinal tract with food, which will make people fart more.
And once the eating speed is too fast, it is impossible to mix food with some digestive juices, which will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and make people fart more.
In addition, if you talk loudly when eating, or eat while walking, it will also make a lot of air enter the gastrointestinal tract, making people have a lot of farts and abdominal distention.
3. Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome is a very common functional gastrointestinal disorder, the cause of which is not clear, but it is generally believed to be related to the patient's slowing of gastrointestinal motility, as well as the appearance of intestinal infections, or the appearance of bad mood and other factors.
Once suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, patients experience abdominal pain, bloating, as well as farting and diarrhea on a daily basis. There are also patients who will have constipation, or some accompanying symptoms such as indigestion and reflux.
Fourth, the intestinal peristalsis function is slow
For example, for weak physique or long-term sedentary, as well as the elderly population, it is easy to have a slower rate of intestinal peristalsis.
Once the intestinal peristalsis function becomes slower, a large amount of gas will accumulate in the intestine, and some food residues will not be excreted in time, and will also ferment under the action of the intestinal flora.
As a result, more and more gas in the intestines will cause more farts, as well as abdominal distention, bad breath and constipation.
5. Disease factors
When suffering from acute and chronic gastroenteritis, or peptic ulcers, as well as a series of diseases such as cholecystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, etc., it will affect normal digestive function.
After food enters the gastrointestinal tract, it cannot be digested, absorbed and metabolized in time, and will accumulate too much in the intestine, causing people to fart more and abdominal pain, or a series of discomforts such as changes in bowel habits, decreased appetite, indigestion, fatigue, jaundice and so on.
All in all, if the phenomenon of always farting occurs in daily life, it is generally related to the above 5 factors.
In addition, if there is a lot of farting, accompanied by blood in the stool, changes in bowel habits, thinning of the stool shape and other problems, then vigilance should be caused, most likely related to some intestinal polyps or tumors.
Therefore, when this situation occurs repeatedly, in addition to paying attention to the adjustment of eating habits and other aspects, you should also quickly go to the hospital for treatment.
If it is caused by a series of diseases, it is necessary to take corresponding methods of treatment under the guidance of a doctor in order to maximize the improvement of this situation and achieve the effect of maintaining their own health.
