You may also wonder, you obviously don’t fart so much, but you just didn’t notice it.
Although farting is a normal physiological phenomenon, if the farting is very smelly and the frequency is very frequent, you need to be vigilant. This is likely to be caused by some diseases. So do you know what it is to fart often? Reminder from gastroenterologists: these truths should be known sooner.
What's the matter with the frequent farts?
- There is a problem with diet
Spicy and irritating foods such as onions, garlic, and scallions contain sulfide components, some of which cannot be completely absorbed and decomposed by the human body, and these components will be excreted in the form of gas. Therefore, after the human body eats these foods, the farts released will be much smellier than usual. However, after adjusting the diet in time, this symptom will be relieved quickly. You don’t have to worry too much about farting caused by dietary problems, and it will not affect your health. In order to avoid stinky farts, everyone should try to eat as light as possible in daily life, and eat less spicy, irritating, and heavy-tasting foods.
- Gastrointestinal disorders
The gastrointestinal tract is an important digestive organ of the human body. Food that enters the human body needs to be digested by the gastrointestinal tract before it can be absorbed and utilized by the human body to provide energy for the body's life activities. When lesions occur in the gastrointestinal tract, it may affect the digestion and absorption of food, causing a large amount of undigested food to accumulate in the body. And these food residues accumulated in the intestinal tract may release some odorous gases during the fermentation and decomposition process under the action of bacteria, which manifests as farts becoming smelly and increasing. Gastrointestinal lesions are usually accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, belching, acid reflux, nausea, etc. If you often have similar symptoms, accompanied by increased farting and farting, you need to be vigilant Gastrointestinal disorders.
- Bowel cancer
If you fart often, you may have bowel cancer. If bowel cancer is not treated in time, the intestinal tissue may fester and rot, and farting is usually accompanied by a strong sour smell. In addition, abdominal pain and blood in the stool are also common for a long time. If similar symptoms occur frequently, we must pay attention to them.
- Gut bacterial imbalance
There are all kinds of bacteria in the human intestine, including harmful bacteria and probiotics. Under normal circumstances, the number of these two bacteria will remain in a relatively stable range. However, when the gastrointestinal tract is stimulated or the diet structure is unbalanced, there may be an imbalance of intestinal bacteria, resulting in a decrease in the content of probiotics in the body and an increase in the content of harmful bacteria. These bacteria will disturb the normal gastrointestinal function, and even stimulate the intestinal secretion of some odorous substances, which will lead to more farts and more stinky farts. Normal gastrointestinal function is very necessary to maintain normal physiological functions of the body. If there is a problem in the intestinal tract, the health of the body will be affected. Yogurt contains more active ingredients of probiotics. Appropriate consumption of yogurt can effectively regulate and stabilize the number of probiotics in the body. Friends who like it can drink some appropriately. However, it should be noted that the sugar content in most yogurts is still relatively high. You should control the amount when drinking to avoid obesity caused by excessive intake of yogurt.
