Hello,
Thank you for posting your question to HCM.
This is Dr. Papaqako answering your question.
Your problem may some from many causes, and the most common ones are:
1) Swallowing Air normally during eating and drinking. Typically, only a small amount of air is swallowed. Reasons that you may swallow more air than normal include chewing gum,
smoking, sucking on objects such as pen tops, drinking carbonated drinks, and eating too quickly.
2) Dietary choices could lead to farts. Some foods cannot be absorbed, meaning that they pass from the intestines to the
colon without first being digested. The colon contains a large number of bacteria that then break down the food, releasing gases as they do so. A diet high in foods such as beans, cabbage, broccoli, raisins, lentils, prunes, and apples, which can take a long time to digest, leading to an unpleasant smell associated with gases.
3) Potential conditions such as
constipation and
gastroenteritis, to food intolerances, such as
lactose intolerance. Digestive problems, such as
irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and
celiac disease, can also lead to farts, although they are rarely the cause.
Eliminating these causes, or treating possible conditions that are the cause, may help your problem.
Hope this helps,
If anything unclear, please let me know.
Regards.
