Are you farting too much? | The problem of farting by Dr Maran

#Fart #Health

Dr Maran talks about an issue which is farting and is considered a social taboo these days. He clearly says that farting is a normal phenomenon and is a byproduct of digestion. But if someone is farting often and it is quite smelly, it needs to be looked into. The type of food we eat determines the fart. Protein-rich diet more often cause fart. Some carb food can also cause farting. Any vegetables that are tubers, like potato, can produce gas. Certain diseases like Crohn’s disease, TB of the intestine can produce smelly gas. Sometimes medicines, certain diets can cause imbalance in the gut flora and can cause farting. Obesity is one major reason for excessive farting. The accumulation of gas in obese people causes more farting. Sedentary lifestyle can cause constipation and this can also be a contributory factor. If you are farting between 10-15 times a day, it is quite normal. If the number exceeds and if the situation continues unabated, then consult a doctor.
