Farting is an essential physiological phenomenon of the human body. According to Professor Tomotsu Mitsuoka of the University of Tokyo, who founded the classification of intestinal bacteria, there are about 100 species and 100 trillion bacteria living in the large intestine, especially in the section from the large intestine to the rectum. These bacteria make it easier for food to break down. During the decomposition process of food, harmful substances and gases are produced. These gases are concentrated and discharged from the body as farts. Farting is very beneficial to your health.

Farting has a lot to do with a person's diet structure, physiological function, amount of exercise, etc. Therefore, even the same person may sometimes fart a lot and sometimes a little, and sometimes the farts are smelly and sometimes not smelly. However, under normal living habits and conditions, if the amount and odor of farts change, you should be alert to the invasion of certain diseases.

Excessive farting occurs when the amount of gas released from the anus greatly exceeds the usual amount. Excessive farting can be seen in indigestion caused by various reasons, stomach diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer, liver, gallbladder, pancreas diseases, etc. In addition, excessive farting may also be caused by consuming too much starch and protein food (such as beans, potatoes, eggs, etc.), or eating too fast, and habitually swallowing too much, often swallowing saliva, and taking in more air. These are not pathological and require no treatment.
