Today I'm going to talk to you about a topic that everyone can't avoid - fart.
Don't be embarrassed, it's a big deal about our health.
Let me tell you a real-life example.
Not long ago, an anxious young man, Xiao Li, came to my outpatient clinic.
He said with an embarrassed face:
As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the consultation room was a little delicate.
I smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, we deal with this matter every day, come, let's talk slowly." ”
1. Does farting have anything to do with the liver?
Fart, in fact, is a small action in our intestines;
This process is actually quite normal, and everyone will have it.
But some people will ask, does this have anything to do with the liver?
In fact, the liver is mainly responsible for detoxifying our body, metabolizing those messy things, and making proteins.
As for farting, it's a matter of the intestines, and it's not a brother to the liver, so they usually do their own work.
Although some people say that when the liver is not good, it may affect the intestines and make people fart more, but there is no conclusive evidence for this.
In short, there is not much relationship between fart and liver, so you don't have to think about whether there is something wrong with the liver as soon as you fart.
However, if you feel like you're farting too often and you're embarrassed, it's better to ask your doctor.
Second, what are the possible causes of frequent fart?
1. Dietary problems
For example, eating too many high-fiber foods, such as certain vegetables and fruits, although they are nutritious, are also prone to produce gas in the stomach.
Another example is beans and dairy products, these are big gas producers, and if you eat too much small bacteria in your gut, you will have a party;
Makes a whole bunch of gas. Also, drinking too many carbonated drinks will also make the stomach bubble more, burp more, and fart.
2. Digestive system
If our digestive system is not very strong, such as chronic gastritis, food cannot be digested well;
The intestinal flora will become a pot of porridge, and there will be more farts.
Imagine the bacteria in your stomach that should have been quietly staying, and now you start a carnival, and it's no wonder you don't fart.
3. Swallow air
Sometimes we swallow a lot of air without even noticing;
For example, talking while eating, or eating snacks while walking, so that there is more and more air in the stomach;
In the end, I had to find a place to go out and wander.
4. Medications
There are also some medications, and what they do may be to make your stomach rumble.
Some medicines are meant to aid digestion, while others are meant to relieve coughing;
There are also calcium supplements, but the ingredients in these medicines can sometimes make the stomach upset, and the gas will increase.
So, farting too much isn't a big deal, but if something really doesn't feel right, it's best to see a doctor.
5. Gluten sensitivity
It's like there's a lot of things in this market that you can't handle — wheat, barley, and oats, which contain a protein called gluten.
Your gut may not know what to do with them, and as a result, traffic jams are caused where food gets stuck inside and you can't move through every checkout opening.
Then it will be discharged in the form of a gas.
Third, how to reduce stinky fart? Teach you 3 tricks
Let's start with what we eat.
You know, after eating some food, the children in the intestines start to be lively;
They are busy breaking down food, and then they produce smelly gases such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan.
So to reduce this embarrassing situation, we can eat less gas-prone foods such as beans and onions, and eat something that is easy to digest;
For example, white rice or noodles. Doing so will not only reduce the burden on the intestines, but also reduce the odor.
Next, let's talk about living habits.
You need to be active, such as going for a walk, doing yoga;
This will get the intestines moving and help expel those unwelcome gases.
At the same time, remember to drink plenty of water and keep your intestines moist, so that bowel movements will be smoother and can also reduce the occurrence of stinky fart.
Finally, if you are already in public;
Suddenly feeling an indescribable force brewing, it takes some skill.
Try to relax your anus gently and slowly and let the gas come out little by little, rather than all at once.
The advantage of this is that the sound is much quieter and the smell is not as strong.
Don't forget, health is the most important thing, don't ignore your body signals.
