3. Causes of flatulence

1, gastrointestinal dysfunction

Some people have low gastrointestinal function, especially some people sit on the sofa and watch TV after dinner. In this way, the stomach will not creep and food will accumulate in the stomach. After a long time, food will produce a lot of gas after fermentation, causing flatulence.

2. The diet structure is unreasonable.

Eating too much high-protein or high-fat food is easy to change the intestinal flora, which is conducive to the survival and flatulence of bacteria. Drinking too little water or eating too little cellulose food can also cause constipation and flatulence.

3, eat a lot of gas-producing food

Fermented food with high sugar content (such as bread, cake, etc.). ) and some indigestible foods (glutinous rice, dairy products, etc. It is also easy to stay in the stomach for fermentation, producing a lot of gas and causing flatulence.

In addition, drinking soda, cola and other drinks that produce a lot of gas will instantly make the stomach feel flatulent. Therefore, people who are prone to flatulence should try to eat less of the above diet.

4. Enter a lot of air when eating.

If you talk loudly and laugh when eating, it is easy to eat a lot of air or even cold air into your stomach, which will also lead to stomach discomfort and flatulence. Therefore, develop the habit of not talking or talking less when eating, and try to avoid eating or chewing gum in a low temperature and windward environment.

5. Disease factors of gastrointestinal accidents

There are many reasons for flatulence. Besides the stomach itself, diseases of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas and peritoneum, cardiovascular diseases and infectious diseases can all lead to flatulence. If there is inflammation, reflux and tumor in the stomach and duodenum, it will delay the emptying of the stomach, and food will constantly exert pressure on the stomach wall; At the same time, excessive fermentation of food in the stomach produces a lot of gas, which further increases the pressure in the stomach and leads to flatulence, which leads to fullness and oppression in the upper abdomen.

6. Excessive mental stress

In life, if you are in a tense environment for a long time, it can directly affect the physiological function of the human gastrointestinal tract, leading to indigestion, low gastrointestinal peristalsis and flatulence.
