Did you know? Fart can tell disease

      Farting is a natural occurrence, which is a symptom that the wind is exhaled through the anus caused by gases accumulated in the digestive system due to the body's process of decomposing food into energy. Did everyone know that farts can also tell the internal health of the intestines? 

What are farts caused by?

      Farting is the process of expelling air or gas in the stomach and intestines. The fart is composed of 99% odorless gases, which are nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, and methane, while the odorous gas is only 1% in the fart, which is caused by the accumulation of food in the intestines. Resulting in sulfur, the cause of the bad smell of farts.

The cause of farting 

• Air that passes through the intestines through the nose or mouth during chewing.
• Eating foods that contain a lot of acid or gas.
• Chewing gum or sucking on candy.
• Not chewing food thoroughly causes food to not be completely digested, causing flatulence and intestinal gas.
• Eating too much meat Makes the body digest this type of food slowly. Bacteria in the intestines will help digestion, causing a fermentation reaction resulting in intestinal gas.
• Eating too much fatty foods which takes a long time for the body to digest fat, risking gas in the stomach and intestines, causing frequent belching or frequent farting.
• Not getting enough sleep, anxiety, and stress can cause the digestive system to work poorly.
• Digestive system is not working well, such as people who have regular flatulence.

What kind of fart can tell what disease?

      The smell of a fart

Fart frequency

• little fart fart less than 10 times a day, risk of intestinal obstruction.
• Normal farting Farting 10-20 times a day is considered normal.
• Farting a lot Farting more than 20 times a day, risking gastrointestinal disease.

The sound of a fart

• Silent farting is caused by the sphincter muscle not tightening, making it less squeezable. There is not much pressure in the intestines.
• The sound of farting is caused by the sphincter muscles being very tight. So there is a lot of intestinal pressure. These farts are good but they sound and don't usually smell.

      If you have frequent farting symptoms without other symptoms, you may try to change your eating habits by avoiding eating foods that increase gas in the stomach such as soft drinks, alcohol, nuts, and some vegetables mentioned above. Avoid eating large amounts of meat, eating less fatty foods and chewing your food thoroughly.
