Flatulence is a build-up of gas in the digestive system that can lead to abdominal discomfort.
Flatulence is a normal biological process and is something everyone experiences regularly. Some people pass wind only a few times a day, others a lot more, but the average is said to be about 5 to 15 times a day.
What Are the Symptoms of Gas?
In addition to burping and flatulence, you may feel bloated. You could also have pain in your belly or sides. That pain could be mistaken for something else, like a heart attack or appendicitis.
Why it happens?
When you swallow food, water or saliva, you also swallow small amounts of air, which collects in the digestive system. Gases can also build up when you digest food. The body needs to get rid of the build-up by farting (flatulence) or burping (belching).
Sometimes you may not notice you have passed wind because most of the gases are odourless and often released in small quantities. Flatulence usually only has a bad smell if it contains gases that smell, such as sulphur. However, it’s important to remember it’s normal for the gas you pass to sometimes smell a bit.
Which Foods Are Most Likely to Cause Gas?
You’re most likely to get gas by eating carbs, which are found in foods like:
- Beans
- Vegetables (especially broccoli, cabbage, and onions)
- Fruits
- Dairy products
- Whole-grain foods
- Soft drinks
- Fruit drinks
