Frequent 'farting' is a liver problem? The doctor reminded: Farting too much may be related to these 4 reasons
I believe that many people have encountered such an embarrassing situation in their daily life. In a closed environment, they suddenly feel a little bored and want to fart, but in front of so many people, I am really embarrassed, but I can’t resist my body. I can only release my fart nervously, and after a few seconds, this gas will diffuse into the entire space, watching the people around me frowning and covering their noses, maybe I don’t want to live in this world in this life!
In fact, farting is a normal physiological phenomenon. When people eat food, they will produce more gas due to the normal flora in the digestive tract. This kind of gas, along with the intestinal peristalsis, is discharged from the anus. During defecation, due to the activity of the anal sphincter, sometimes there is a sound.
A scientist once conducted a study and found that a person farts about 14 times a day, and each excrement is about 500 ml a day. Although farts are smelly, they are normal physiological needs. If a person does not fart all day long, it is very It may be a stomach problem.

Often "farting" is the liver problem?
Generally speaking, we can judge a person's physical health according to the taste of the fart. Now there are rumors on the Internet that frequent farting is a sign of a bad liver, so is there any scientific basis for this statement? Can people with bad liver often fart? Let's find out together.
In fact, the patient's frequent excretion is not directly related to liver function. The fart is because the gas produced after food is digested and absorbed in the digestive tract is discharged out of the anus with the intestinal peristalsis, which is closely related to the patient's diet structure. If the patient eats foods that are prone to gas production, such as sweet potatoes, it can cause more gas discharge, which has nothing to do with liver function.
Liver enzymes, bilirubin, albumin and other indicators are used to judge whether the patient’s liver function is good. Exhaust gas is just the excretion process of gas in the body, which shows that gastrointestinal peristalsis is normal. Therefore, it is not possible to judge whether there is a problem with liver function by defecation alone, but a regular liver function test is required to effectively judge whether a patient has liver function disorder or liver function damage.

Physician reminds: there are four reasons for farting too much.
- Excessive intake of gas-producing food
Under normal circumstances, if you eat too much gas, such as sweet potatoes, onions, potatoes, sweets and soy products, it will lead to increased farting. Because this kind of food will cause excessive gas in the intestinal cavity, resulting in more farts and more stools.
It is recommended that you should eat less gas-producing foods and eat more protein and vegetable foods at this time to achieve a balanced diet.
- Irritable bowel syndrome
Colorectal cancer is the most common digestive tract disease clinically. Although it is not a fatal disease, patients usually feel very painful, mainly manifested as chronic abdominal pain accompanied by constipation, or alternating constipation and diarrhea.
Keep warm in daily life, do not eat cold or greasy food, pay attention to food hygiene, maintain a happy mood, and avoid excessive stress and stress.
- Overeating
If you eat too fast on weekdays, you will swallow more air, which will turn into gas, causing severe cramping and discomfort. Eating too quickly can also lead to overeating, which puts stress on the digestive system and slows down the digestive process.
Therefore, it is recommended that everyone chew slowly when eating, and not wolf down, so as not to inhale too much air.
- Intestinal insufficiency
Once the digestive function of the intestines and stomach is not good, it will cause the food to stay in the digestive tract for too long, and the fermentation will produce gas; if the intestinal peristalsis is slow, it will also cause constipation, and constipation will provide a favorable environment for harmful intestinal bacteria, so that More gas is produced.
Pay attention to gastrointestinal health in daily life and eat more digestible food. Drinking yogurt daily can help improve gastrointestinal bacteria.

The health status of the human body can be deduced from the taste and quantity of farts.
Farts are numerous and odorless, and there may be gastritis, gastric ulcer, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas diseases.
If you fart a lot and smell bad, it may be indigestion.
If the fart smells bad, there will also be symptoms of gastrointestinal bleeding, bacillary dysentery, amoebic dysentery, ulcerative colitis, hemorrhagic enteritis and other inflammations. In addition, in the advanced stage of malignant tumors, due to the erosion of cancer tissue and protein decay, due to the action of bacteria, farts will also have a bad smell.
If there is no fart or fart, and there is abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, hyperactive bowel sounds or disappearance, the sound of gas and water may be intestinal obstruction. In addition, intestinal peristalsis in patients with abdominal surgery has reflex inhibition, accumulation of fluid and gas and liquid in the stomach and intestines, and no fart phenomenon may also occur.
