Dr. Moo, a doctor specializing in forensic medicine at Srinakharinwirot University, took to Facebook today to address the topic of frequent farting. In the post, Dr. Moo highlighted the potential causes of excessive flatulence and the signs that indicate the need to seek medical attention.
While farting is a normal bodily function, excessive flatulence can be a cause for concern. According to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), the average person farts between 5 and 15 times per day. However, certain factors can contribute to farting more than usual.
Dr. Moo identified several common reasons for excessive flatulence, including the consumption of soft drinks, particularly when using a straw, as well as the presence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which can cause chronic symptoms such as frequent diarrhea, abdominal pain, bloating, and fatigue. Additionally, a diet high in vegetables, cabbage, bean sprouts, broccoli, and various beans can lead to increased gas production, as can the consumption of processed foods and a lack of fruits and vegetables in the diet, which can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the intestines.
In the post, Dr. Moo also emphasized warning signs that indicate the need to see a doctor if experiencing excessive farting, such as unusually foul-smelling flatulence, flatulence accompanied by abdominal pain, vomiting blood, or the presence of blood in the stool, and excessive flatulence combined with feelings of fatigue and dizziness.
Dr. Moo’s message serves as a reminder that while farting is a normal bodily function, excessive flatulence can be a sign of underlying health issues. Individuals experiencing frequent or unusually smelly flatulence are encouraged to seek medical attention to receive a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment.]
