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.

Gas odor and pain

 

Putting on a Flat-D pad can end embarrassment of gas odor.

Many foods contribute to gas buildup and pain as well. These include dairy products, bran, vegetables like asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage, plus fruits like peaches, pears and apples. Beans (legumes) can also cause gas, as can most foods that contain carbohydrates. Some medications and supplements such as aspirin, antacids, multivitamins and fiber supplements also contribute to air buildup and feelings of discomfort.

Unpleasant act of flatulence

 Flat-D makes several pads that take care of the unpleasant part of releasing intestinal gas. Check out our website www.flat-d.com

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.
