Hi friends,
With the question “What are the signs of frequent farting? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
" Fart ", also known as defecation, is because the food source, when not fully digested from the stomach to the colon, is further broken down and excreted by the bacteria. emissions, they accumulate to a certain point too much and have to come out through the anus.
In fact, everyone has to "fart" because it proves that the digestive process is working properly.In essence, a lot of "farting" is not a disease. However, if "farting" a lot, continuously is a manifestation of a number of intestinal diseases such as: digestive disorders, gastritis, enteritis, intestinal motility disorders, irritable bowel syndrome,... In some people, due to lack of certain fecal enzymes destroys alpha - galactoside - (which is a type of sugar found in many legumes and grains, so when this sugar reaches the large intestine, it is decomposed by bacteria and produces a lot of gas, leading to constant farting.
Every day, when we eat too much starch, fat and low fiber, green vegetables, fruits, especially those who often eat sweet potatoes, potatoes, instant noodles, it's easy to "faint" In some cases, due to eating too quickly, the intestines will contain a lot of air, which will also lead to "fart" many times
First of all, you should adjust your diet, exercise and sports. To increase physical strength, it is not recommended to use c Avoid stimulant foods and carbonated and alcoholic drinks. If the above case does not improve, you should visit a gastroenterologist for examination and treatment advice.
If you still have questions about repeated farting, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
