The main reason why you fart a lot and how to prevent it. Avoid these things when you have gas in your stomach.

 

How many times do you fart in a day? Actually, farting is a physiological phenomenon to release the gas accumulated in the intestines, so it is not a problem at all to fart 10 to 20 times a day. But some people say that they make a fart sound every time they take a step when they walk.

There are many people who are worried that they have some problem because they fart too often. Today, I will tell you the causes of frequent farting and five things you should never do when you have a lot of gas in your stomach.

 

 

 

 

1. The habit of swallowing air

If you look at the people who have a lot of gas in their intestines, you will see that they have this habit in common. It is the habit of swallowing air. The air we inhale through our mouth is also a direct cause of gas emission. When do we swallow a lot of air? For example, when we eat noodles, we pick them up and slurp them. When we do this, a large amount of air enters the stomach when we eat. And not only noodles, but also when we eat food quickly, we swallow a lot of air. It is the same when we drink water gulp by gulp.

Eating habits that are too fast can cause gas to come out without a break after a meal, so if you have a lot of gas in your intestines, you should avoid it. It is better to chew more than 30 times at a time and take your time for more than 20 minutes when you eat, and when you eat noodles, do not slurp them, but roll them up and put them in your mouth one by one.

 

 

2. Changing your diet suddenly

The second thing you should never do when you have a lot of gas and fart often is to change your diet suddenly. I mean, it’s good to change your diet for dieting or health purposes, but you have to give your intestines time to adapt when you change your diet.

No matter how good your diet is, if you eat foods that you are not familiar with, the enzyme secretion that digests and breaks down those foods may not be smooth. And because of the undigested food residues, your stomach becomes bloated and gas builds up.

 

 

 

 

3. The habit of drying out the mucous membrane of the stomach

The third thing you should never do when you have a lot of gas and fart often is to dry out the mucous membrane of the stomach. Do you know that if the intestinal mucosa is dry due to lack of water intake, the speed of food and feces passing through the intestines slows down significantly?

The gas in the stomach is caused by the microorganisms living in the intestines eating and metabolizing their food, so it is a natural physiological phenomenon to emit about 500 to 1500 ml of gas a day. But if the food stays in the intestines for too long, it will ferment for a long time by the intestinal microorganisms, and that will create a lot of gas. Therefore, people who have low intestinal motility or constipation should drink enough water to keep the mucous membrane of the stomach moist in order to reduce gas.

 

 

4. The habit of being constantly stressed

The fourth thing you should never do when you have a lot of gas and fart often is to be constantly stressed. There are countless nerves in your stomach, so if you are stressed, your intestinal nerves will also tighten up involuntarily. When the intestinal nerves are tight, the intestinal muscles become oversensitive and the intestinal movement becomes faster or causes spasms. This can cause abdominal pain and diarrhea. The symptoms of bubbling in the stomach become severe and gas accumulates without a break. If this state persists, it can lead to an intestinal disorder and you can be diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) at the hospital.

If you have symptoms such as abdominal pain or bowel problems along with frequent farting, you should get an accurate diagnosis and treatment if necessary. Intestinal stress or irritable bowel syndrome is often triggered by mental stress, so you should relax your mind in your daily life to reduce gas in your stomach.

 

 

5. The balance of intestinal microorganisms

Finally, the most important thing to reduce gas emission is to maintain the balance of intestinal microorganisms. As I mentioned earlier, intestinal gas can come from outside, but most of it is produced by intestinal microorganisms. Nowadays, there are many probiotic products on the market. But in fact, there are still many types of microorganisms that we have not discovered, and there is not enough research on how these diverse microorganisms interact to regulate gas production, so you should not depend on probiotic products alone. The important factors that can decrease the activity of beneficial bacteria in the intestines and disrupt the balance of intestinal microorganisms are frequent use of antibiotics, drinking alcohol, smoking, and long-term lack of sleep.

Therefore, if you have a lot of gas and you fall into these categories, you should first change these habits.

 

 

 

 

If you are worried about frequent farting, you should avoid the habits I mentioned today, such as swallowing air, sudden diet changes, drying out the intestinal mucosa, being stressed over small things, and disrupting the balance of intestinal microorganisms. I’ll see you next time.
