Therefore, the number and smell of fart are closely related to our health, diet and digestive function. By farting, we can understand the situation of the stomach. This is the last article "Normal people fart 14 times a day on average". If they don't fart, there's something wrong! "It has already been mentioned. Not farting is not necessarily a good thing, farting too much may be a bad thing, and smelly fart may have an accident.
Why does fart become more?
1. Take antibiotics.
Because the role of antibiotics is to kill bacteria in the intestine, both good bacteria and bad bacteria are killed, which easily leads to intestinal flora imbalance, excess gas and even intestinal pneumatosis.
2. Diseases of digestive system
Patients with gastritis, gastric ulcer, chronic cholecystitis and chronic pancreatitis, as well as the elderly with reduced secretion of digestive enzymes, have weak digestive ability, eat too much at once, and the food is not fully digested, which will produce more gas after entering the large intestine. In addition, the feces of constipation patients stay in the intestine, and excessive decomposition by bacteria will also increase gas production.
3. Eat food that is easy to produce gas.
Bacteria in the intestine especially like foods containing polysaccharide compounds. Some foods are rich in sugar and difficult to digest. Bacteria like to hold on and fart. Such as white radish, sweet potato, potato, yam, taro, bean products, wheat bran, oats and so on. Most of them produce gas when the large intestine is digested and decomposed, but rice does not produce gas. This is the only exception.
Of course, too much fart is also related to eating too fast, swallowing too much air, or drinking carbonated drinks and alcohol.
Why is there less fart?
Slow gastrointestinal peristalsis, such as patients with gastroparesis, will reduce gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is manifested by the accumulation and expansion of gas in the stomach, the reduction of fart, and even the upward discharge of gas from the mouth, which becomes "burping".
Fart with special smell can't be ignored!
1. Intestinal cancer, gastrointestinal bleeding-fishy smell
The fart may indicate that your digestive tract is bleeding. Blood stays in the gastrointestinal tract and is decomposed by gastric acid and intestinal bacteria, and sometimes the stool will be like tar. In addition, when there is a malignant tumor in the intestine, the fart will also have a foul smell.
If the fart suddenly has a special smell and lasts for 2-4 weeks, you need to be highly vigilant, which may indicate intestinal necrosis and gastrointestinal bleeding. You'd better go to the hospital to check your stool.
2. Enteritis-strange fart
Green onions, onions, leeks, these foods are heavy and difficult to digest. Eating it will make people fart a lot and stink. However, if your fart suddenly stinks, and you haven't eaten sexual food such as garlic, onion and leek recently, and you haven't eaten too much meat, then be careful! Because this phenomenon may be caused by some intestinal inflammation or gastrointestinal dysfunction.
3. Dietary problems-rotten eggs and farting
Eating too much greasy or meat is easy to fart and smells like rotten eggs. Because animal foods such as intestinal fermentation will produce indole and hydrogen sulfide, which are not only malodorous, but also toxic. In this case, it is necessary to greatly reduce the intake of animal food and increase the intake of whole grains and vegetables. When the proportion of whole grains, vegetables and meat entering the colon is reasonable, the fermentation activities of intestinal bacteria will not produce toxic gases.
