In the human body, the intestine produces a quantity of “abdominal wind” gases every day. It is a natural phenomenon because it is caused by the intestinal digestion of certain foods eaten by people during meals such as carbohydrates, carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to lack of intestinal secretion of digestive enzymes or beneficial bacteria. These substances produce hydrogen gas and carbon dioxide in addition to methane, some of which come out through the burping of the mouth and what is left out through the colon.
The most important foods that produce intestinal gases are: pulses and grains such as beans, beans, beans and chickpeas, as well as vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, halibut, wheat, and some dairy products such as milk, cheese and ice cream, as well as white bread and corn; All of which produce sugar types such as karafinoz, lactose and fructose, the most common form of gastrointestinal gas.
Causes of increased intestinal gas
- Swallow excess air during meals, so do not talk while eating.
- Swallow eating quickly without chewing well, causing the bowel inability to digest.
- Chew gum continuously.
- Frequent smoking also helps in getting more air intake daily.
- Concentrate the food pattern on foods produced from gases such as kale, cowpea, onions, garlic, cabbage, lentils, and meat.
- Mental disorders resulting from anxiety, tension and nervousness.
- Drink water during the meal.
- Lack of movement and long sitting; these slow down the two reasons of bowel movement and thus a weakness in the process of digestion, which produces Yeasts and gases in large quantities.
