Flatulence (a symptom of this deviation will be presented below) at least once occurred in every person on our planet. It is worth noting that today there is a fairly large number of medications that can relieve the patient of all unpleasant sensations in the shortest possible time. But before you buy pharmacy remedies to eliminate such an ailment, you should find out if you really have increased gas formation or is it something else.
Flatulence: a symptom of illness
The following symptoms are typical for excessive accumulation of gases in the intestines:
- empty or sour belching, which most often occurs after eating;
- severe bloating, partially relieved by passing gas or having a bowel movement;
- sharp or dull pain or abdominal discomfort that interferes with normal life.
Reason for this problem
There are quite a few reasons that cause frequent flatulence. Among them, the following stand out:
- malnutrition, namely the regular consumption of foods rich in indigestible carbohydrates (as a rule, such elements are fermented in the intestines by bacteria);
- abuse of carbonated drinks can also cause flatulence (a symptom quite common in teenagers who regularly drink fizzy sweet liquid);
- fast eating and drinking in large sips;
- talking during meals leading to air swallowing;
- any deformities of teeth, palate and nose;
- intolerance to certain foods (e.g. lactose);
- frequent constipation resulting in slower bowel movements, which in turn increases fermentation and traps gas.
