If there is an abnormal accumulation of gas in the gastrointestinal tract (meteorism), this is manifested by the classic bloated abdomen. The intestinal gases are produced by the interaction of food and intestinal bacteria. However, flatulence can also indicate a disease such as irritable bowel syndrome. Flatulence is also not uncommon during pregnancy.

Usually, the intestinal gas content is about 500 to 2500 milliliters and about 25 winds that the intestine drains. If you suffer from frequent flatulence, you should observe and reconsider your eating habits and consult a gastroenterologist if there is no improvement. Various factors are responsible for the formation of increased gases in the intestine:

  • The way you eat, that is, how fast you eat
  • Composition of the food, whether the digestion of certain foods promotes gases in the intestine
  • Composition of the microbiome (intestinal flora)
