Treacherous flatulence: what is it, its causes and treatment
Flatulence - what is it?
Definition
In simple terms, flatulence is bloating caused by clumps of intestinal gases. Here you can talk about the manifestation of the so-called lower dyspepsia.
Clinical picture
In meteorism, there is increased gas formation (frequent farting) in the intestinal loops. Scientifically, this is called flutulen- cy. Along with this, rumbling and, in fact, the process of gases coming out through the anus, accompanied by a certain sound (usually a crack) and a fetid odor, appear in the abdomen. That's how he is - this insidious flatulence!
Is this a misunderstanding or a disease?
This is a double-edged sword. If you understand this problem in more detail, then bloating and flatulence can be symptoms of any diseases directly related to the gastrointestinal tract. That's why I advise you to see a doctor! There is another side to the "medal": flatulence can be triggered by the use of one or another food. About this - further.
Products that cause flatulence
So, what kind of food causes us quite a frequent fart?
- Very strong gassing provokes all kinds of cabbage, legumes, raw onions, products on milk, milk itself, radish, turnip and rutabaga.
