What's the deal with flatulence? List of high-quality authors
The first:It's our human bodyIncreased amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract, forming flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract.
The second:That's itSlow peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract(not in good shape),Excessive air inhaled, which can also easily cause flatulence.
The third:Patients may present with symptoms such as:Abdominal pain, satiety, nausea, and excessive gasetc.
Ms. Hu is a sales consultant who has a lot of work pressure, and she has been having bloating for many years, and sometimes she often feels bloated to the point of abdominal pain and hiccups, but when she gets out of gas, she feels much more comfortable.
In fact, flatulence is very common in clinical practice and can be divided into:Hiccups or belching, bloating, and passing gas (farting).。Patients may experience symptoms such as abdominal pain, satiety, nausea, and excessive gasFlatulence is usually benign and can occur as a result of the food ingested or dietary habits
Flatulence can also lead to other symptoms such as:
When flatulence occurs, the pressure in the abdomen increases, and the elevated abdominal pressure will ripple backward to the waist and back, causing itBack painthe situation;
When flatulence continues, it will squeeze the diaphragm upward, so that our lung qi exchange is not sufficient, due to the lack of oxygen in the body, it is necessary to use more auxiliary respiratory muscles, so it is easy to causeSore head, neck, shoulders and back, will also appearDifficulty breathing, chest tightness, dizziness, headache, fatigue, fatigue, lack of concentrationand other symptoms;
The large and small intestines, ovaries, and uterus are susceptible to flatulence and compressionAbdominal pain or hernia, uterine fall, and some diseases, compression of the bladder can causeReflex frequent or oligouria, edemaWait;
If the stomach is not in harmony, it will be restless", the spleen and stomach are located in the middle of the human body, and when there is flatulence in the stomach and intestines, it can be caused by hindering the lifting of the qiInsomnia
Flatulence must also be careful with other ** possibilities, like:Gastrointestinal infection, digestion and absorption, poor intestinal peristalsis, intestinal obstruction, irritable bowel syndrome, poor mental and emotional status, etcDisease. Flatulence is often not found because the exact cause is not found, and the effect is not very good, so the first step is to investigate carefully.
There was a patient who wanted me to ** that he couldn't fart at all, and I replied bluntly, "No way".Passing gas (farting) is a normal reaction of the human bodyThe average number of times each person deflates (farts) per day is 14Not having gas (farting) at all is equivalent to intestinal blockage, and is not a good sign. As for when should you ** flatulence? If you rule out eating habits after causing flatulenceThe frequency of gas (farting) is much higher than before, or the smell of gas (farting) is particularly stinky, or flatulence is accompanied by abdominal distension and discomfort or symptoms in other areas, you should be accepted**.
Why does the gastrointestinal tract get flatulent?
usThe normal volume of gas in the human gastrointestinal tract should be less than 200 ml, and when the amount of gas increases, flatulence is formed
The gas concentration and gas volume depend on these 3 mechanisms:Swallowing air, the digestive tract is produced, diffusing from the bloodstream。For example, when we talk, laugh, eat, and drink, we are unconsciousSwallow some airMost of this air is expelled through involuntary burping or belching, and only a few enter our gastrointestinal tract, where the air we swallow is dominated by nitrogen and oxygen. Produced by the digestive tractIt refers to the gas produced by the fermentation and decomposition of food by bacteria in the intestines, mainly carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, and some carbon dioxide is produced through the interaction of acid and bicarbonate. fromBlood spreadsIt refers to the diffusion of gas from the blood vessels into the lumen of our intestines.
The discharge of gastrointestinal gas, which is discharged through the mouth as belching or belching, and is discharged as fart (sagittal gas) through **, and most of it is absorbed by the intestinal wall. The average amount of normal gas (fart) per person per day is 600-700 mlIt is normal to have up to 25 gases (farts) per day, with an average of 14 gases per day。99% of intestinal gas containsNitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane
Causes of flatulence : Crack the causes of stomach gas
1. The amount of intestinal gas production increases
Usually because of the rightCarbohydrate indigestion(Like: lactose intolerance).
Eating foods that are not easily absorbed by us(like: high fructose, sorbitol and starch).
Eat foods that contain a lot of fiber(rough), these foods willincreaseusThe volume of the intestinal lumen, and willImpactWe're normalGastrointestinal motility, resulting in bloating.
Long-term useAntibioticsto inhibit the normal flora of our intestines, which causes food to ferment and produce some gases.
Celiac diarrhea.
Overgrowth of gut bacteria.
2. The amount of air swallowed increases
1) In usDrinking a lot of water, eating too fast, drinking carbonated drinks, chewing gum, smoking, are easy to swallow air.
Mental factors, easy anxiety, speaking too fast
Certain gastrointestinal disorders, like: hyperacidity.
Effects of certain medications
Misfitting dentures, due to the increase in saliva, the swallowing action is more frequent and more air is swallowed.
3. Poor intestinal peristalsis
Gastroparesis, intestinal obstruction, or decreased tone of the intestinal wall
Diabetes, scleroderma, starchosis, fat intolerance.
4. The sensitivity of internal organs to normal gas production increases
Functional bowel disorders, like: irritable bowel syndrome and functional dyspepsia.
Characteristics of various types of gas: Hiccups, farting, and bloating are all symptoms of gas
Hiccups or belching: The esophagus or stomach retrograde excretes gas into the mouth, called hiccups or belching.
The differences between the two are:Hiccups may be accompanied by spasms of the diaphragm。Reasons include:Increased air swallowing, carbonated drinks, chewing gum, smoking, anxietyPeople with reflux esophagitis tend to reduce heartburn by swallowing more air, and possibly because they are exposed to certain foods(e.g. mint and chocolate).The effect results in relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter。Emphasis should be placed on reducing the amount of air swallowed, such as slowing down the rate of eating and drinking, avoiding triggers, quitting smoking, and reflux esophagitis.
Exhaust: Fart, that is, Yaki, daily Gundam25 timesThe exhaust is normal.
Most patients complain of increased gas, but the true frequency does not exceed 25 times a day. Since the volume of the exhaust is difficult to calculate,Counting the number of times a day is the most reliable way to do this。In patients with dyspepsia, increased gas is a common early symptom. After a thorough history and physical examination, if there are no organic lesions, it is possibleAdjust your eating habits
Bloating:Patients with abdominal distension feel excess gas in their abdomen, but existing studies have not been able to confirm whether there is a difference in the volume or composition of abdominal gas between patients with abdominal distension and asymptomatic absence.
Bloating, if accompanied by dysfunction of the intestines, such as irritable bowel syndrome, is generally thought to be associated withProlonged intestinal motility is associated with visceral sensitivityDiagnosis of functional abdominal distension is based on the exclusion of peristalsis, dyspepsia, infection, and intestinal obstructionand other reasons.
What to do with flatulence?
Causes of flatulence
Adjust your eating habits
Avoid foods that cause gasFoods like these contain lactose, fructose, sorbitol, high fiber, high starch, caffeine, mint and chocolate.
Change the cooking methodandEat a low-gas diet, including eating fewer complex carbohydrates.
Hypnosis**It may help people with irritable bowel syndrome and refractory belching to reduce bloating and flatulence.
Reduce air swallowing: Stop smoking, do not eat carbonated drinks and chewing gum, chew carefully and swallow slowly, **Reflux esophagitis.
Answering questions:
1. What should people who often have flatulence pay attention to in their daily life?
In diet we shouldChew slowlyAvoid talking while eating。To do itEat a balanced dietEat regularly and quantitativelyDon't eat a lot of food that is easy to make us gas-producing at one time, and flatulence is severeIt should be avoidedThoseGas-producing foods
Moderate relief and relief of life stressto find out what works for us.
Proper exercise exerciseChange poor posture and sitting posture
2. Will ingesting a large amount of vegetables and fruits make flatulence more serious?
Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of fiber, which cannot be digestedCelluloseAfter being sent by us into the large intestine,A large amount of hydrogen is produced due to fermentation by bacteria in the intestinesThis is why people who have just changed their eating habits and eat more fruits and vegetables often become more prone to gas and farting. Therefore, this time can beImprove cooking methodsFood should be finely chopped, chopped, and boiled.
However, the human intestine is adaptable, and most people will naturally improve their stomach bloating and frequent farting after maintaining the habit of eating more vegetables and fruits for a period of time.
3. What are the foods that can easily cause flatulence in our gastrointestinal tract?
High-starch foods:Sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes, sweet potatoes, chestnuts, pumpkins, peanuts.
Carbonated foods:Sparkling drinks, wine, cream, glycoproteins.
Harder foods to digest:Glutinous rice, corn.
Expanded or fermented foods:Steamed buns, bread.
Fruits and vegetables:Cauliflower, leeks, white radish, cabbage, onions, apples, watermelon.
Beans and soy products:Soy milk, dried tofu, tofu, bean curd, bean curd.
Milk & Milk Products:Patients with lactose intolerance are unable to fully digest lactose due to the lack of sufficient lactoamide, and a large amount of hydrogen is produced by bacterial fermentation in the large intestine.
Fried, high-fat, delicate food:Because it is more difficult to digest and stays in the intestine for a longer time, the result of fermentation will also lead to more gas production.
Chewing gum.
4. What daily acupressure points can prevent flatulence?
