Why do I keep farting in winter?

When I was a kid, I would fart every night when I slept with my grandma, one after another. At that time, my grandma smiled and said to me, it’s okay, it means you are in good health! I didn't take it seriously, but now looking back I think what my grandma said actually makes sense. The older generation has accumulated a wealth of experience, and some of what they say is not without reason, but you can't believe it all. It also needs scientific verification to get the truth. Let’s take a look at what is going on.

This is because when people eat food, more gas is produced due to the action of normal bacteria in the digestive tract. These gases move downward with intestinal peristalsis and are discharged from the anus. During discharge, a sound is sometimes produced due to the action of the anal sphincter. Therefore, farting is a sign of normal intestinal function. On the contrary, if you don’t fart, or if you fart too much and too smelly, it is an abnormal phenomenon.

1. Increased flatulence Sometimes excessive flatulence is related to eating too much starchy food, such as sweets, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. sold in the market. People who eat a lot of pasta also fart a lot. This type of food causes excessive gas production in the intestinal cavity, leading to more farts and larger amounts of feces. At this time, you should reduce starchy foods and increase protein and vegetable foods to achieve a balanced diet.

2. Farting is very smelly, and farting in front of others is the most indecent. There are two situations in which farts smell bad. One is that the stool is loose and the farts smell very bad. If the stool is discharged, the farts stop.

3. No farts If you don’t fart for a long time, it means there is a serious problem. If a newborn baby does not fart, it is necessary to check whether it is imperforate anus or anal hypoplasia. But farting is a normal physiological need and it is good for human health. It is very bad for a person's health if he doesn't fart all day long. People who never fart all year round are very likely to have gastrointestinal problems.

It turns out that what grandma said was not completely right, but at least she was half right. Farting too much is not good either, and you have to consider what kind of farts they are. In the future, no matter what happens, you should go to the hospital, get a check-up or consult a doctor.
