Bloating and gas is a big problem. People with metabolic problems, as well as those with an upset and irregular digestive tract, suffer from flatulence most often.
What are the strangest reasons that can cause flatulence in the abdominal cavity and intestines?
You have increased your daily training dose
According to research by scientists, changes in the amount and intensity of training can affect digestion and, in particular, gas formation. Studies show that between 30 and 90% of marathoners and those who have increased the duration of their training experience gas and digestive problems.
Cough
A strong prolonged cough can cause gas. This happens because of improperly swallowed air during the cough reflex, as well as the raging muscles of the abdominal wall. Some ingredients in cough syrups can also cause gas.
Irregular sleep
Working in shifts, especially alternating between day and night shifts can cause acute gas. Lack of sleep, and especially sleeping at different times of the day, activates a gland in the abdominal cavity, which slows down the movement of the intestines and, in particular, the passage of water through them. This causes flatulence during the day.
Infections
Urinary tract infections, yeast infections anywhere in the body, including the mucous membranes of the genitals, and other gastrointestinal infections can cause acute gas. Antibiotics also cause gas due to the disturbance in the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, directly related to proper digestion.
You are being treated with aspirin
Patients who take aspirin daily for circulatory problems or to prevent cardiovascular complications often suffer from gas. Pain in the navel area and in the upper abdomen can be added to gas. The condition is called epigastric distress and is caused by irritation caused by the active ingredient in aspirin.
You mainly consume the following foods
Some foods cause more gas even in people with a he althy intestinal tract. Such products are Brussels sprouts, regular cabbage, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, peaches, pears, lettuce, onions, whole grains.
If you consume some of these products it is important to know that good hydration reduces gas formation. So drink more water before and after consuming them.
