adults have 100 ~ 150 ml of gas in their intestines every day, most of which are discharged in the form of farts. There are two sources of these gases. One is the air swallowed into the digestive tract with eating or drinking water; The other is the gas produced by the fermentation of some components in food (such as dietary fiber, oligosaccharides, etc.) by intestinal flora. Between individuals & ldquo; Fart & rdquo; The amount difference is quite obvious, and it will vary according to the content of diet. Generally, adults emit 10 to 15 farts a day. But they discharge in different ways, sometimes quietly, and even without feeling it; Sometimes there is noise, especially when there is more gas. Sometimes, the fart doesn’t come out, but it’s held back. Then the problem comes. Where’s the fart? Let’s take a look with you.
Let’s say the answer first. The intestinal gas that can’t be released finally comes out of the mouth and nose! However, do not take it for granted that tight anus makes these gases flow back from the large intestine to the small intestine, stomach and esophagus. If they come out intact, the breath of mouth and nose will be unbearable. In fact, the gas accumulated in the intestines can enter the blood of the intestinal mucosa, and finally be transported by the blood to the lungs and discharged out of the body together with the exhaled gas. In this process, most of the odor components (such as hydrogen sulfide, indole, ammonia, stink, etc.) are transformed in the liver and no longer have the smell of fart. Because the composition of fart can come out from the mouth and nose, as long as the exhaled gas is analyzed, the type or quantity of gas accumulated in the intestine can be inferred to some extent.
Analyze the health status from different phenomena of farting
1. Farting (quantity, or frequency) is too much
in traditional Chinese medicine, farting belongs to turbid Qi descending. Those who are depressed and seldom talk about the liver and gallbladder do not declare depression. Due to the poor transportation of Qi mechanism caused by the liver and gallbladder, spleen and stomach, or the obstruction of Qi, they become turbid Qi in the small intestine of the bladder and go down.
sometimes fart too much, which is related to eating too much starch foods, such as sweets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. People who eat more pasta also fart more. This kind of food makes intestinal bacteria produce too much gas, resulting in more farting and more feces. At this time, we should reduce starch food, increase protein and vegetable food, so as to achieve a balanced diet.
2. Farting stinks
it’s indecent to fart in front of people. There are two cases of fart. One is that the stool is thin and loose. The smell of fart is very strong. If the stool is discharged, the fart will stop. From this point of view, & quot; Fart is shit head & quot; It makes sense. Second, the smell of fart is very strong, like rotten eggs. This is due to eating too much protein food, resulting in food retention in the intestine. The retained protein food is decomposed in the digestive tract to produce amines, which have this foul smell. The solution is to reduce the amount of food, especially protein foods.
3. No farting
if you don’t fart for a long time, the problem is serious. If the newborn does not fart, check whether it is anorectal disease or anal hypoplasia. Adults don’t fart. Abdominal distention is like a drum, indicating abdominal distention. It is necessary to consider whether there are problems with anus and rectum, such as inflammation, tumor, constipation, hemorrhoids, etc. if necessary, anal intubation is required for exhaust. Suffering from intussusception, volvulus, intestinal obstruction and no fart, because the fart is blocked by the intestines.
The reason why farts smell
in the past, a common understanding was that the smell of farts was released by methane. In fact, methane itself does not stink. Modern science has proved that & quot; Culprit & quot; They are malodorous gases such as indole, skatole and hydrogen sulfide.
the amount of fart is related to people’s diet. Some people like to eat onions, ginger, raw garlic, potatoes, sweets, beans and pasta. Because these foods contain a matrix that can produce a large amount of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other gases, they often increase waste gas and fart continuously after eating.
the amount of fart is also related to the strength of human digestive function. When indigestion, intestinal bacteria ferment quickly and easily produce gas to make people fart. A scientist found that a person farts about 14 times a day. Every day, everyone releases about 500 ml of waste gas.
although fart stinks, farting is a normal physiological need, which is beneficial to people’s health. One does not fart all day, which is bad for one’s health. People who never fart all year round are most likely to have gastrointestinal problems. Drinking a cup of yogurt every day helps to change intestinal bacteria. Generally speaking, fart is a mixed gas, mostly biogas, that is, more methane.
in fact, about 70% of the components in fart are the air inhaled with the food when eating. At the same time, the air swallowed by the mouth accounts for 70% of the exhaust gas composition. People who wolf down and eat quickly are easy to fart. The secret of swallowing less air when eating is to increase the number of chewing and fully mix food and saliva. When saliva and food are fully mixed, the air is naturally discharged.
