Why does a person fart? The human body is a mysterious thing. You eat something wrong, and problems arise. discomfort, discomfort. The first signs of flatulence are the release of gases, after which bloating, rumbling, painful colic begins, and as a result bad smell at the most inopportune moment.
These sensations are not dangerous to your health. Usually, everything will go away after a fart. If you are at home, the best thing to do is to have a calm and relaxed time on the toilet and get rid of the air. If you are at work or on the street, move some distance away from people and quietly do your thing.
The main thing is not to restrain yourself, as you will only bring more discomfort and it may start. Do not be afraid of an embarrassing situation; there is no need for embarrassment in this situation. We are all living people, we must understand each other and understand, at least a little, the structure of the body and its needs.
Gases can be released at any time and bring severe discomfort person and environment. An unpleasant smell or a specific sound can take you by surprise at a serious business meeting or a romantic evening.
Farting is normal and there is nothing to be embarrassed about. Natural process caused by the stomach processing food. But if this situation repeats at frequent intervals, then you need to think about the reason.
With a more in-depth study, two scientifically proven names for the formation of air in the body can be distinguished:
- Flatulence- a process in which a large amount of gas accumulates in the stomach. In such a situation, gas formation does not completely go away and, if delayed, creates unpleasant sensations. This problem accompanied by pain, pain, rumbling,... If the situation is advanced, then all these symptoms can occur at the same time. Flatulence can be attributed to mild illness at neglected form. Don't worry, he will be cured. By using medicinal drugs, you can easily get rid of the problem.
- Flatulence– a process when the gastrointestinal tract does not work correctly. The most common gas release situation. Keep track of the frequency. If you fart very often, this may indicate a minor problem with the digestive system.
The formation of gases in the human body is an interesting process. Their approximate content is about one kilogram per adult. The first reason for excess gas formation is the ingress of air from external environment(when you eat, communicate, sing). Second, when food enters the stomach, it begins the stage of digestion and at this moment methane and acids are formed. When they break down, carbon or carbon dioxide can be released. Which further causes discomfort.
The average person should fart up to fifteen times a day. This is the norm. If you experience more and more often, then you need to contact a specialist or look for the reason yourself. Stomach gas has no odor.
An unpleasant aroma is created by bacteria that live and develop in the gastrointestinal tract. It makes up approximately one percent of the entire gas molecule. It has been proven that more than three hundred species of different bacteria take part in the process of gas formation.
The main reasons for the formation of gas in the stomach:
- Nutrition:
- Dairy products contain lactose. If a person is not absorbed and not properly digested, it forms gases;
- Drinks that contain carbon dioxide. For example: mineral water, beer, kvass, sweet soda. When consuming the product listed above, the daily gas norm is exceeded;
- Products, causing bloating(peas, beans, corn). Hydrogen is produced, which increases gas formation;
- Vegetables and fruits containing large amounts of fiber. If you eat these foods in large quantities, there is a chance of feeling discomfort;
- Wrong combination of products.
- Reasons from a medical point of view:
- Aerophagia. The process of air entering the stomach when eating. Gas formation occurs from the wrong method of eating food - quickly and in large pieces;
- Dysbacteriosis. A disease based on changes in microflora in the intestines. In this case, drug treatment is needed;
- Lack of important bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Food is not fully processed, gases are formed and are easily released;
- Passability of food. This problem exists in people with impaired intestinal motility. It breaks down food elements poorly, and the passage in the gastrointestinal tract slows down. This process leads to increased efficiency of additional microorganisms and increases gas formation.
The study proved that if you fart for approximately seven years, the entire mass collected would be equal to the energy content of an atomic bomb.
Why does a person fart at night?
Farting in your sleep is a fairly common occurrence. The body relaxes and does not create resistance. Night, just like day - the time of day is no different, from the point of view of gas formation. It all depends on the processes you carried out during the day. Gases can form and escape at any time.
Why do people fart more often at night? Although, in most cases, a person does not even notice. Oddly enough, the answer is quite simple! If you look at the physiological level, this is the standard accumulation of gases in the body during the day. And as soon as they find an opportunity to get out, they don’t hesitate and go out.
During the day, a person restrains himself and makes sure that the gases come out quietly and slowly. This won’t work at night, you are sleeping, your muscles are relaxed and you won’t be able to control them. It turns out that you fart more often, louder and with an unpleasant odor.
Be calm and relaxed about the process of gases coming out. Farting is natural state human body, which happens to everyone. Don't focus too much on farting, there's no point in it.
Remember - this problem is purely physiological in nature. But, if you have minor digestive problems and often pass gas, it is better to consult a specialist. A disease resolved in a timely manner is the key to a healthy life.
What methods will help get rid of gas formation?
There are two methods of getting rid of gases: independently and with medication (if the form is advanced). In the first case, it is necessary to focus on nutrition. You need to eat in small pieces. Chew well without swallowing air. And get out of the habit of speaking, remember the saying “When I eat, I am deaf and dumb.”
Eliminate from your diet foods that cause gas formation in the gastrointestinal tract. Remove food items such as milk, cheese, peas, corn, cabbage, flour products and some types confectionery. If you can’t give up completely, at least limit the dosage.
Stop drinking carbonated drinks: mineral water, kvass, beer. For minor disturbances in the gastrointestinal tract, avoid frequent intake of strong black tea and natural coffee. And if your body has a hard time digesting lactose, then do not eat fresh milk and dairy products, they increase flatulence.
Set a goal to improve your condition. Indispensable assistants in this will be good sleep And physical activity (morning work-out, jog on fresh air or a regular walk in the park).
There are cases when a person cannot get rid of the formation of gases on his own. The reason may be quite serious. Only a specialist will solve the problem with medication. You need to pay attention to the symptoms - nausea, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, severe painful sensations in the abdomen and pelvis area. In such a situation, do not self-medicate.
Consultation with a specialist is inevitable. Good doctor will not leave you in the bidet, will appoint necessary tests and quickly determine the cause of unpleasant factors. Take care of your health, treatment with the right medications will improve the situation. The main thing is not to panic ahead of time, if you fart up to 15 times a day - this is the norm! Everything is fine with you!
How to fart without making a sound? Take your time, squeeze your buttocks and slowly relax, making not one loud fart, but several small ones. The sound will decrease several times and the environment will not pay attention to you.
We are taught from childhood that farting in front of people is not nice. But few people thought about the peculiarities of the origin of gases. This is physiology! And what nature has laid in human body, must be taken in its entirety. Fart to your health!
People don't like to discuss this sensitive topic. However, in some cases it is necessary, otherwise it may be too late. How do you know when your flatulence is harmless and when it is not?
All people fart, less often or more often. Intestinal gases are an integral part of the digestive process, and they are always present, in greater or lesser quantities. Most often, it is simply air that gets into the stomach while eating along with food. Many foods, when digested, release large amounts of gases. First of all, these are foods with a high combination of fiber and protein (for example, legumes), followed by carbonated drinks.
Moderate gas formation is completely normal: on average, a person emits up to 2 liters of gas per day. But if you have excessive flatulence or unusual symptoms, you need the help of a gastroenterologist. In each case, we are talking not about a one-time attack, but about repeated ones.
Here's what you should be concerned about:
GASES TOO STINKY
You will be surprised, but our gases normally do not smell. Only 1% of all farts have the smell of hydrogen sulfide, and we simply don’t smell them. If each of your farts begins to smell, and it is not associated with odorous food like garlic, curry, etc., and lasts longer than one or two days, there is reason to worry. If your farts become exceptionally smelly, it could mean bacterial growth in your gut or a food sensitivity like celiac disease or Crohn's disease. In these cases, help is needed as soon as possible.
PAINFUL bloating
If you experience abdominal pain that moves through your intestines, it means that gas is unable to escape. The cause of blockages can be tumors, ulcers, or inflammation of the appendix.
EXCESSIVE bloating
If your stomach periodically swells so much that it is visible to the naked eye, and this does not coincide with menstrual cycle- You may have irritable bowel syndrome.
GASES IN THE STOOL
If your bowel movements are intermittent and pass gas, or there are spaces in your stool where there was gas, you may have a problem with your pancreas.
CONSTANT Flatulence
When you walk around constantly trying not to fart, it means you have excess gas. The reason for this is high content fiber and sugar in your food. Another cause may be irritable bowel syndrome or colon cancer.
BURP WITH THE SMELL OF SULFUR
Any burning or pain associated with flatulence means anal fissures or hemorrhoids. The longer you ignore the symptoms, the more difficult it is to be treated later.
WHAT TO DO WITH ALL THIS?
Of course, many will start with diet changes and over-the-counter medications. If this does not help quickly, in two or three days, or the symptoms recur after some time again, you should see a gastroenterologist. Don't think it's anything special sensitive topic For a specialist, you can be completely frank, this will make the diagnosis easier.
Excessive gas formation may be a consequence of an error in diet, may indicate serious violations at work gastrointestinal tract. If such a delicate problem arises, you should reconsider your diet (exclude some foods), and the problem will disappear spontaneously. If this does not happen, then you need to seek help from a gastroenterologist.
Why does increased gas formation occur?
Every day, about 500–600 cm3 of gas is formed in the intestines of an adult, but this small amount is released without any discomfort naturally. Only the formation of a significant amount of a gas mixture (hydrocarbon, nitrogen, hydrogen sulfide) is uncomfortable, as there is a feeling of abdominal distension, pain and the need to frequently visit the toilet. The causes of excessive gas formation are quite varied. Among them, the most significant are the following:
- consuming large amounts of carbohydrates, certain dairy products, or foods that cause gas;
- a mechanical obstruction in the intestines that interferes with the natural passage of gases;
- disruption of the innervation of the gastrointestinal tract, as a result of which peristalsis slows down and the processes of rotting and fermentation in the intestines increase;
- inflammatory changes in the intestinal mucosa (enteritis, colitis), as a result of which the processes of parietal absorption and digestion of nutrients worsen;
- changes in the microbial balance of the human intestine.
Thus, it becomes clear that increased gas formation in the abdomen may simply be a consequence of a nutritional error, or may be initial sign serious pathology. If measures taken on your own (more on them later) do not bring the desired relief, you should visit a gastroenterologist as soon as possible to find out why this is happening.
Power supply errors
The habit of eating quickly, not paying enough attention to varied and proper diet, preference for certain (not always healthy dishes) - all this provokes strong gas formation. Among the products that provoke severe gas formation, the most significant are:
- legumes (any cabbage, beans, peas, lentils);
- nuts (in large quantities);
- dried fruits (prunes, dried apricots, raisins);
- brown bread and fresh baked goods;
- fresh (especially fat) milk;
- carbonated drinks, including kvass;
- some types of vegetables and fruits (banana, grapes with seeds, apricots).
Accordingly, avoiding these trigger foods will quickly eliminate the delicate problem that has arisen. Various tactics are possible in correcting the diet. The first method involves complete failure from the above products. Switch to boiled vegetables, lean baked meat and fish, soups with diluted broth, only natural sweets in very limited quantities will undoubtedly be useful for the gastrointestinal tract of any person. However, such tactics will leave unresolved main question, which product causes excessive gas formation.
It is more appropriate to eliminate provoking foods one by one. The relationship between the consumption of a certain group of foods and the occurrence of abdominal discomfort will allow you to accurately identify the triggering product and exclude only it from the diet. There is another solution to the problem - keeping a food diary. Recording the foods you eat and analyzing your own feelings will help you quickly identify the “culprit” and solve the problem.
Changing microbial balance
Disruption of the natural balance between beneficial bacteria of the human intestine (lacto- and bifidobacteria) and opportunistic pathogens (clostridia, enterococci, yeast fungi, staphylococci), as well as contamination of the gastrointestinal tract with pathogenic intestinal microflora lead to disruption of fermentation and digestion processes. As a result, there is a variety of clinical symptoms, including constant rumbling in the stomach and gases. Often, dysbiosis can be a consequence of a severe or insufficiently treated intestinal infection(salmonellosis, shigellosis, Proteus infection).
How to get rid of the problem of flatulence in in this case– the doctor (therapist, gastroenterologist or infectious disease specialist) decides. To begin with, you need to carry out special study(stool culture) to assess the degree of disturbances in the intestinal microbial system. To treat dysbiosis, a variety of drugs are prescribed, the action of which is aimed at restoring the disturbed microbial balance. All similar drugs can be divided into two large groups: 
- probiotics (lacto- and bifidobacteria) – actually beneficial bacterial flora, which displaces pathogenic flora from the intestines, due to which the microbial balance is restored;
- prebiotics – substances that create the most favorable conditions for recovery normal microflora Gastrointestinal tract (lactulose, inulin, glutathione, chitosan, dietary fiber and others).
The duration of treatment, the specific drug or their combination are prescribed by the doctor. Buying the product you like at the pharmacy on your own can lead to even greater disturbances in the intestinal microflora.
Mechanical obstruction
This is the worst and most difficult cause of excess gas. In fact, this is a confirmation of the mechanical intestinal obstruction, which is most often caused by tumor growth. Having reached a significant size, the tumor node disrupts the patency of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a delay feces, which provokes increased processes of rotting and fermentation, as well as excessive gas formation. In this case, symptoms such as loss of appetite, pain and a tendency to constipation are noted.
There are no home remedies. Only a doctor can decide what to do if such a situation develops. In the vast majority of cases, surgical intervention is required, the extent of which is determined individually. The prognosis depends on the severity of the process and the treatment performed.
Inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract
Pancreatitis, enteritis, colitis of various origins– all these diseases occur with disruption of digestion processes and, accordingly, are accompanied by increased gas formation. How to treat in each specific case depends on the cause of the disease, its severity and form. Most often, the following groups of medications are used to eliminate flatulence:
- carminatives (Simethicone, Dimethicone), which reduce the surface tension of the bubbles and their size, which facilitates the process of gases escaping;
- sorbents (Enterosgel, Polysorb, Activated carbon) bind toxins and gases, practically without being absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract;
- enzymes (Pancreatin and many of its commercial variants) facilitate the digestion of food, which helps reduce the amount of gases formed.
There are no people in the world who never fart - that's a fact. On average, a person produces up to half a liter of intestinal gases per day, which are released 14 times a day. However, some people experience excessive gas, which negatively affects their quality of life. What to do about farting in this case?
Causes of frequent farting
What causes farts? Main reasons flatulence(that’s what farting is scientifically called) there are only five:
Diseases of the digestive system (such as ulcers, gastritis).
Consequences surgical intervention(intestines are mechanically damaged).
Stress (which leads to contractions of the intestinal muscles).
Dysbacteriosis after using antibiotics.
An excess of products that increase the formation of gases.
What to do if you fart frequently?
We figured out the reasons, but the problem remains! Let's figure out how to get rid of farting.
First, you should rule out the first two causes of farting - to do this, get examined by a doctor!
Helps relieve stress when farting depressant plant origin, remember the same valerian.
If you have dysbacteriosis, take a course of medications with lacto- and bifidobacteria.
If you still have a problem with your diet, then try to limit the following foods:
- legumes;
- cabbage;
- grape;
- sorrel;
- gooseberry.
Do not drink beer, kvass, carbonated drinks. To get rid of farts, replace contraindicated foods with the following:
- fermented milk (yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese);
- porridges (millet, buckwheat);
- boiled vegetables (especially beets and carrots);
- brown bread;
- boiled meat.
How to get rid of farting according to the advice of yogis?
An ancient yogi proverb says: “Eat liquid food as if it were solid, and solid food as if it were liquid.”. To get rid of farts, chew each piece thoroughly - enjoy the taste to the end. The ideal number of times is 100 chews, but do at least 20-40, and only with your mouth closed (to avoid swallowing air). After all, digestion begins in the mouth. And just drink in small sips. You will avoid flatulence and its consequences.
Give preference to natural food! It is easier to digest. Avoid all additives. Don't buy porridge instant cooking, take regular oatmeal or buckwheat. Packaged juices contain preservatives and also contain a lot of sugar - causes of farting - it is better to make the juice yourself or eat the whole fruit.
Notice which foods you digest poorly and limit them. You may be lactose intolerant, in which case dairy products are not recommended for you. Eat less fatty foods– Digestion suffers from it. Always listen to your body, as we are all different. The best way to record what you eat and how you feel is in a food journal. Tweak your diet until you find what works best.
Rest after eating! Make it a rule to rest for 30 minutes after eating. The process of digesting food requires increased blood circulation. When you move, blood flows mainly to the muscles, which causes digestive organs may arise oxygen starvation. And who finds it easy to work hungry?
Take care of your body! Don't lose sight alarms(such as farting). It is better to prevent a disease than to treat it!
P.S.: Good news for carminatives and fart sufferers
Textile engineers from a Japanese company have released a new invention - men's and women's underpants that absorb the smell of intestinal gases. Odors are effectively eliminated with the help of ceramic inclusions that have a high adsorption capacity for fart odors.
The company began developing innovative underwear after a doctor contacted it. He came up with an idea to help people who can't stop farting. The businessmen liked this idea, and after a few years the work was successfully completed.
Interestingly, this product is purchased not only by hospices and hospitals, but also ordinary people, apparently, simply wanting to protect their business image from foreign odors.
A delicate problem Excessive accumulation of gases in the intestines worries many people. It is manifested by symptoms of bloating, rumbling sounds, and cramping pain due to a feeling of distension in the intestinal loops. The combination of these symptoms is called flatulence. Flatulence is not a separate serious disease. It can occur as a one-time deterioration of the condition due to the consumption of stale food or an unusual combination of foods. But frequently recurring symptoms of flatulence over a long period of time are a consequence of disturbances in the functioning of the digestive system.
What is flatulence, why does a large accumulation of gases appear in the intestines?
When proteins, fats and carbohydrates are broken down in the intestines into nutrients for absorption through capillaries into the blood, a process of natural gas formation occurs. This is normal physiological process, in which the activity of bacteria located inside the intestine is accompanied by the release of gases (nitrogen, oxygen). With normal functional indicators of the gastrointestinal tract, the volume of gases does not exceed 600 ml during the day. They come off naturally and have no strong smell and do not cause discomfort to a person.
In the case when the volume of gases in the intestines exceeds 900 ml within one day, unpleasant phenomena in the abdominal area begin to increase in the form of distension, rumbling, persistent bloating appears, and gases pass poorly. If the gases released have an unpleasant Strong smell, this is a consequence of disorders of the intestinal microflora, in which bacteria dominate, releasing many specific gases (for example, hydrogen sulfide).
Factors that contribute to increased gas production:
1 insufficiency in the secretion of gastrointestinal enzymes;
2 overuse foods rich in fiber and carbohydrates;
3 violations motor activity intestines;
4 abuse of carbonated drinks;
5 simultaneous consumption of foods in the wrong combination (fish and milk, meat and fruit);
6 psycho-emotional disorders and stress conditions, because nervous system controls the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
TO individual factors refers to a state of pregnancy in which an increase in the volume of the uterus may be accompanied by compression of the intestinal loops, which makes it difficult for the natural passage of accumulated gases.
Symptoms and signs of flatulence, large accumulation of gases in the intestines
Where do gases come from in the intestines? The intestines react to the increased release of gases in it with symptoms that cause a lot of inconvenience to patients and disrupt the usual rhythm of their lives. Painful sensations in the form of cramping attacks have different intensity, spread to the entire abdominal area, most often localized in the left and right hypochondrium. The pain is caused by the pressure of excess gases on the intestinal walls. Due to the swollen intestines, the diaphragm rises, squeezing other organs.
Symptoms of excess gas in the intestines:
1 feeling of fullness in the stomach;
2 bloating;
3 sounds of bubbling, “pouring” of food mass, rumbling;
4 hiccups, belching;
5 attacks of nausea due to digestion problems;
6 cramping pain localized in the upper and lower abdomen;
7 constipation, diarrhea;
8 release of gases accompanied by sound;
The state of flatulence is characterized by cyclical manifestations: when the gases pass, some relief is observed, but after a while the gases accumulate again, the stomach swells again, and attacks of pain are repeated.
Causes of flatulence, why do gases in the intestines torment you?
Why do gases form in the intestines? There are many reasons that lead to increased formation of gases in the intestines. The two main categories include:
1 single manifestation of flatulence in healthy people;
2 symptoms of flatulence due to diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
The phenomena of flatulence can occur in completely healthy people against the background of an irrational diet, a single consumption of low-quality products, or swallowing air while eating. Other reasons include functional disorders in the digestive system, as a result of which the intestinal microflora or its motility suffers ( motor functions). This is often associated with a number of gastrointestinal diseases (gastritis, pancreatitis, colitis).
What causes excessive gas accumulation in the intestines? Let us note the main reasons:
1 aerophagia (swallowing air);
2 use certain types products;
3 violations normal process digestion, resulting in the formation of remains of poorly digested food;
4 intestinal dysbiosis;
5 disorders of enzyme secretion;
6 disturbances of intestinal motility (difficulty in moving food mass);
7 deviations digestive functions from normal due to nervous tension.
Aerophagia is the entry of excess air into digestive tract while eating. Sometimes air escapes through the esophagus and oral cavity out, and it turns out to be a belch. Sometimes, along with food, it enters further into the intestines. This happens when a person eats quickly “on the go”, chewing food poorly, talks a lot while eating, or washes down food with soda. Swallowing air is not dangerous, and in the absence of functional disorders from the gastrointestinal tract, air is removed from the body naturally. More often than others, increased gas formation is caused by the consumption of certain foods. These include carbohydrate-containing foods and foods high in starch and fiber. Carbohydrates promote fermentation processes, causing the formation of gases, so the consumption of sweets must be controlled.
What foods can lead to the formation of gases in the intestines and the development of flatulence?
List of products that contribute to increased gas formation:
1 fruits, sweets;
2 dairy products, especially in combination with baked goods;
3 cabbage (white cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli), legumes, potatoes;
4 carbonated drinks.
Existing disturbances in the digestion process or a lack of enzymes lead to the fact that part of the food remains undigested and is not broken down into the necessary components absorbed into the blood. These residues begin to decompose in the intestines, causing fermentation and gas accumulation. Intestinal dysbiosis is an imbalance of its microflora, when, for one reason or another, the amount beneficial bacteria decreases significantly. This activates fermentation and enhances the activity of flora, releasing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide in large quantities. Because of this, the gases acquire a sharp, unpleasant odor. Disturbances in intestinal motility negatively affect the movement of feces and cause difficulties in removing them from the body. In this case, the decomposition process is aggravated, which causes additional gas formation.
The constant accumulation of gases is fraught with further intensification of symptoms even in the absence of necessary treatment may be complicated by arrhythmia and increased heart rate. Swollen loops of intestine push against the diaphragm and can cause compression vagus nerve. Undigested food remains that remain in the intestines for a long time can cause a state of intoxication due to decay products. And this could lead to worsening general condition the whole organism in the form fatigue, lack of appetite, depressed mood. Finding out the causes of flatulence helps to establish the right treatment tactics and eliminate the problem of intestinal gases.
How to determine the cause of gas accumulation, diagnosis of flatulence
When flatulence occurs occasionally, you need to analyze your diet. With some effort, it is possible to identify a certain relationship between the consumption of certain foods and the appearance of symptoms of flatulence. To eliminate the problem, it is enough to exclude these products and increased gas formation in the intestines can be avoided. To establish the causes of persistent manifestations of flatulence, it is necessary to undergo a series of examinations, including diagnosis possible deviations in the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. A doctor’s consultation begins with a thorough examination of the patient and collection of his complaints. Palpation of the abdomen during flatulence usually reveals spasmodic areas of the intestine, upon which the patient experiences painful sensations. Muscle tension abdominals It is not observed during flatulence; it is more characteristic of the presence of an inflammatory process.
To assess the severity of the process and exclude serious illnesses, the patient is prescribed necessary examinations from the following complex:
1 organ examination abdominal cavity using an ultrasound machine;
2 x-ray examination;
3 endoscopic examinations Gastrointestinal tract (fibrogastroduodenoscopy, colonoscopy);
4 laboratory research(blood test, stool test);
5 carrying out various types of tests (lactose tolerance test, hydrogen breath test, test to determine stool acidity).
Ultrasound, X-ray diagnostics and endoscopy can identify organic pathological changes organs of the gastrointestinal tract (ulcers, cysts, tumors). Laboratory methods help detect violations functional nature. A blood test makes it possible to determine the presence inflammatory processes. A coprogram, which combines physical and chemical analysis of stool, can provide a greater information picture in the study of increased gas formation. When examining stool under a microscope, the following is revealed:
1 change in color, consistency;
2 absence or presence of a specific odor;
3 leftovers dietary fiber and undigested foods;
4 availability hidden blood, mucus, pus;
5 presence of helminth eggs;
6 the presence of bilirubin, neutral fat, starch.
The coprogram, in combination with other studies, helps an experienced specialist differentiate a number of diseases. For example, when chronic pancreatitis stool may have a paste-like consistency, with peptic ulcers feces take on the appearance of small lumps (“sheep” feces) due to spastic state organs, and with colitis mucus and pus are found. Worm infestations dangerous products of the vital activity of helminths, which cause intestinal dysfunction and intoxication of the body. Biochemical blood tests can reveal abnormalities in liver function. A decrease in the level of bile production disrupts the digestion process, food is not completely digested, and gases are formed.
Tests are indirect elements of diagnosis. For example, a lactose tolerance test is carried out to determine lactose deficiency, as a result of which drinking milk is fraught with excessive gas formation. After spending comprehensive examination, the doctor determines treatment tactics to eliminate the problem of increased gas formation.
What to do, how to get rid of gases in the intestines, treatment of flatulence?
The first step to eliminating increased gas formation is to review your diet. This includes eliminating certain foods and monitoring problematic combinations in dishes.
You should consume with caution:
1 all types of sweets;
2 legumes;
3 fruits (best eaten in a separate meal);
It is recommended to give preference to stewing and boiling meat and vegetables. It is better to replace tea and coffee herbal decoctions that help improve digestion. It is necessary to refuse chewing gum(contains sorbitol).
How to get rid of gas accumulation in the intestines? Medical therapy carried out taking into account the individual characteristics of the patient and includes:
1 removal of the main symptoms;
2 treatment of diseases that cause flatulence;
3 warning of gas formation.
What to do if gases form in the intestines. As a means of reducing pain, drugs that relieve intestinal spasms (Drotaverine or No-shpa) are prescribed. Enzyme deficiency is replenished by taking Pancreatin, Mezim and others enzyme preparations. Dysbacteriosis is treated with the help of beneficial bacteria that populate the intestines. These include a number of probiotics: Linex, Acipol, Bifiform. For problems with constipation and weakness of motor skills, the following are prescribed: Senadexin, Duphalac, Glycelax, suppositories with a laxative effect. To reduce the manifestations of intoxication in the body, the use of sorbent drugs is indicated: activated carbon, Enterosgel, Atoxil. However, they cannot be used for a long time, since sorbents remove a lot from the body. useful substances. In the absence of serious illnesses, manifestations of increased gas production can be managed traditional methods. Decoctions of dill (fennel) seeds, anise, caraway seeds, as well as mint and chamomile tea. The delicate problem of gas accumulation in the intestines is completely solvable with a responsible and attentive attitude towards your body.
