There have been many flatulence natural remedies that claim to work, but after trying it out for a couple days, you still end up with the same flatulence problem. Here is a guide for flatulence cure control.
The word “flatulence” is described in having an excess in intestinal or stomach gas. This is a quite uncomfortable feeling because the person could feel bloated because of all that excessive gas. With this bloating feeling, belching or burping could happen or passing of gas through the rectum (farting). Normally, a person produces around 1 to 3 pints of gas daily. This digestive system condition is not life-threatening but it could cause social embarrassment. People usually seek consultation with their healthcare professional because of uncontrollable gas.
The causes of flatulence come in a number of different reasons. Here is a list of common causes of excessive passing of gas:
- Increased intake of gas (“aerophagia” -swallowed air) –This could happen when there is improper swallowing during eating or even doing it unconsciously out of habit. (sucking on hard candy, drinking carbonated beverages, loose dentures and hyperventilation)
- Increased production of gas through undigested foods –If the body doesn’t properly digest and absorb some carbohydrates in the small intestine, these undigested foods pass from the small intestine to the large intestine where harmless bacteria break down the food which produces carbon dioxide, hydrogen and in some people methane. (Foods that contain carbohydrates that can cause gas: starches, beans, fiber, onions, dark beer and red wine, some fruits)
- Lactase deficiency –this is a major cause of flatulence. This is the decrease in the ability to digest lactose (a natural sugar that could be found in milk and other dairy products)
- Malabsorption syndromes –this is the decrease production of enzymes by the pancreas or problems with the gallbladder or lining of the intestines. (Decreased dietary fiber, parasites, inflammatory bowel disease, intestinal obstruction, poor thyroid function, narcotic or drug use)
Symptoms:
- Gas –this is a normal activity every day. But to pass gas more than 25x a day is considered excessive
