Every day a person releases a large number of various substances into his environment. Each of them has its own smell, often not the most pleasant for others. But the richest and most repulsive "aroma" is precisely the formation of gas in the intestine. The causes of this phenomenon should be sought in the composition of intestinal gases. Every day, up to half a liter of gas leaves our body through the intestines. They mainly consist of air ingested with food and carbon dioxide formed during digestion. This also includes some methane and molecular hydrogen. This whole set of gases is odorless and everything would be fine if it weren’t for the bacteria that inhabit the intestines. They form sulfur-containing substances, which spoil the whole picture.
With the normal functioning of the digestive system, a similar problem is quite rare. But even in a healthy person, gas formation in the intestine can increase . Causes should be sought in poorly digested food. It can be peas or other types of legumes. Therefore, in order not to feel discomfort in society, try to reduce the consumption of these products. Even more gas formation in the intestine can be caused by the consumption of food with a high content of sulfur compounds or sulfur, which is part of protein amino acids. The cabbage most popular in this respect, and white cabbage is in the leading positions here. A lot of sulfur in legumes. This also includes grapes and apples, and especially their juice. Experts recommend to dilute any natural types of juices in half with water. In this form, they are much more useful, they contain less easily digestible glucose, which contributes to fullness, and do not cause gas formation in the intestine.
The reasons can also be found in eating fruits immediately after eating. They are digested faster than the main food, which prevents them from entering the intestines, stagnate, fermentation and gas formation in the intestine begin. The reasons sometimes lie in completely harmless foods eaten in too large quantities. If you chew food poorly, swallow it in large chunks, constantly rush and do not devote enough time to the food process, you will get strong gas formation in your intestines. Doctors say that more than half of the volume of gas in the intestines is the air that enters the body with food. Therefore, do not talk while eating, and moreover, do not smoke. Do not be surprised, it happens. Some people eat and smoke at the same time, saving time, for example, during work breaks. Try not to be nervous and avoid stressful situations. People in a restless state tend to swallow excess air when eating. It should be said that you can not restrain belching. It will allow excess air to escape and prevent gas formation.
Flatulence can sometimes be a sign of the development of any diseases of the stomach and intestines. If the malaise is strong, constant and brings a lot of inconvenience, you should consult your doctor. In most cases, the treatment of gas formation in the intestine is quite effective if you use proven alternative methods. Some of the best old and reliable remedies are: anise, chamomile, licorice root, fennel, dill, caraway and mint. Our grandmothers used them in the form of infusions. They are poured with boiling water, allowed to cool and drink when gas formation occurs. Very effective treatment of gas formation in the intestines with activated carbon.
