We all have flatulence

 In fact, we all fart and anyone who says they don’t is either lying, or unaware of the gas coming out, because maybe they hold on to it until they go to the toilet or whilst they sleep.

Flatulence comes from gas leaving the gastrointestinal tube, and while everyone does it, there are certain foods that can alter how much gas and the smell.

Spicy foods, beans and vegetables such as sprouts and cabbage have been found to increase flatulence – and whilst a diet high in fibre is absolutely great for our health, it can mean more gas.

It’s a good idea for most of us to increase our fibre intake but it’s best to increase it slowly and gradually to prevent any unpleasant symptoms.

But if there’s a change in your flatulence that persists and is also accompanied by other symptoms, such as tummy ache, bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or changes to bowel habit then it’s important to get it checked out as it could be a symptom of an underlying condition.

It’s completely normal for farts not to smell or to smell strongly.

It depends on the person, what they’ve eaten and their individual microbiome – that’s the community of bacteria and other microbes that live inside our digestive tract and help us digest certain nutrients, especially those from fibre-rich foods.

Unpleasant act of flatulence

Flatulence is often considered an unpleasant act that is synonymous with bad health. However, it is a necessary process that indicates that the digestive system is functioning as it should. Gastroenterologist Anish Sheth explains that the intestinal microbiota generates gases in the digestive tract that must be released.

Furthermore, the air that is swallowed during meals also contributes to flatulence. On average, people release flatulence about 14 times a day, and it is most prevalent in the morning when gases accumulated during sleep are expelled. Excessive flatulence can be reduced by changing eating habits and eating slower.

Flatulence and bloating

 You can eat what you want and wear a Flat-D Odor Control Products pad. Sometimes healthy items can cause smelly gas

Many people complain of flatulence after eating. Sometimes, even after eating or drinking a little, the stomach starts to swell violently. In medical language it is called bloating. It is also known as gas or flatulence in the stomach. Swelling or pain in the abdomen accompanied by belching or discomfort in the abdomen are all symptoms of bloating.

It is believed that eating too fast and swallowing air, eating too much at one go, constipation, liver disease, pregnancy are some of the common causes of bloating. Apart from these, some food items like beans, lentils, broccoli, cabbage, high salt items and milk also increase this problem.
