The gas in the digestive system is either air (from the external environment) or gas produced by bacteria in the nody. This is completely normal, although many people feel embarrassed by belching (gas escaping through the mouth) or flatulence (gas expelling through the rectum).
Digestive System Health
Gas can be frustrating and embarrassing, but it is part of the digestion process, whether you like it or not. Most people have some control over the amount of gas produced by changing their diet, but there will always be some gas. This is a good thing. In fact, it means that your digestive system is doing what it is supposed to do: breaking down food into vitamins and minerals that your body needs.
What is Natural Gas Really?
The main components of the gas include carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen. These gases do not emit odors. However, the gas from the rectum may also contain sulfur-containing compounds, which do have an unpleasant and distinctive smell.
Some people also have methane in their flatulence, which is produced in the large intestine during digestion. Methane production is atypical; only about one-third of people suffer from flatulence.
Gas In The Stomach
The gas in the stomach may come from swallowing air (called phagocytic gas). During talking and eating, some air will be swallowed naturally, but drinking, chewing gum or smoking will cause more air to enter the esophagus and possibly the stomach. Most of this gas is released through the mouth-like a hiccup, but some gas enters the stomach through the stomach. Most of the gas is absorbed on the way through the intestine, but some may become flatulence and allow the body to pass through the rectum.
Intestinal Gas
Flatulence is a by-product of food and will not be completely broken down in the small intestine. There are enzymes and bacteria in the digestive tract that digest food. Some foods cannot be completely broken down by enzymes in the small intestine and therefore enter the large intestine. The large intestine contains many different forms of bacteria. These bacteria continue the digestion process, but this process produces by-products-carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and sometimes methane. These gases need to leave the body and pass through the rectum as flatulence.
Gas Pain Or Discomfort
Some people may have gas in the digestive tract causing them discomfort, such as bloating or bloating. This may lead to a desire to change diet or lifestyle to reduce gas. Remember, everyone has gasoline, so it must be passed several times a day. If people think they have too much gas or cause disproportionate pain, then these issues should be forwarded to the doctor.
Conclusion
In the process of breaking down food for use by the body, the body needs to produce gas. This is an important process, even if it can be troublesome at times. Although there is nothing you can do about the body’s need to produce gas, eating to reduce the amount of gas can help relieve the symptoms of bloating and bloating. Most people don’t actually have much gas, even if it sometimes seems like that. Changing your diet and lifestyle may help, but if the bloating is still out of control, consulting a doctor is a good choice.
