Customer question:

Got a nasty problem with flatulence and wind? How can I help myself? Anonymous Customer

Pharmacist's answer

Bloating and flatulence are often symptoms of what is happening in the digestive tract. Otherwise, it is the result of gas formation in the gastrointestinal tract. These gases escape to the open above, i.e., through the oral cavity, or below, through the anal opening - this process is also called flatulence.

Flat and flatulence are expected in the human population, but it is problematic if they occur too often.

Wind, flatulence

Wind or flatulence - the process of removing the produced digestive, and intestinal gases through the rectum - causes, facts, and characteristics:

• Bacterial cultures that inhabit the human digestive tract live in synergy; the significant inconvenience of this synergy is that they produce digestive gases - often carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen, which are responsible for the most significant volumes of gases, and there are also gases based on sulfur, which often gives off an unpleasant smell.

• the composition of gas and its volume depends on any diet and bacterial microflora

• individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome often produce more significant amounts of this type of gas

• closure

• acute gastroenteritis

• intolerance to lactose and other possible allergens

• various malabsorptions

• Giardia infection often accelerates the formation of digestive gas

• excessive jogging in women often causes the accelerated formation of intestinal gases
