Tag - Flatulence

Flatulence occurs when food isn’t broken down properly in the small intestine, and it travels to the large intestine where bacteria feast on it. This process produces methane and carbon dioxide, which escape from your gut as flatus. So if you’re farting more than usual, there’s a good chance that you’ve been eating too much processed food lately.

Flatulence is simply defined as the release of gas from the stomach through the nose and mouth. It is usually a result of eating or drinking certain things, and it can cause embarrassment for some people.
