Can Smelly Farts Indicate That Something Is Medically Wrong?
Ok, a complete change of subject from previous posts on mining, silver, crypto and holidays....
The 'Klingon' Fart
I appreciate that this may be a bit of a taboo subject and could be considered to be lowering the tone here on Steemit, BUT... I've noticed of late that my gut seems to be a bit 'off'. So I thought I'd do a quick google on it.
Just to fill you all in, I've been doing what I refer to as a 'Klingon' - a bad sulfurous fart that 'lingers', around myself (hence cling-on) and to the room that I did it in.
Whilst I don't eat too badly, I know that I could do a lot better with regards to what I allow to enter my body. Also, exercise is something which I'm lacking a lot of at the moment (I tend to go just once a week to the gym). I think leading a busy life, juggling both work and family commitments has a role to play in all of this.
So here's some facts from 'googling':
Source: https://draxe.com/flatulence/
"The severity of smells associated with farts mostly has to do with the percentage of different gases present in the body at any given time. Surprisingly, most of the gas within a fart is odorless, and only a very small percent (around 1 percent) causes the signature foul smell of farts. The reason for stinkiness in general comes down to how much sulfurous gasses form within the intestines."
....more from the web page...
Some underlying reasons for excessive gas accumulation can include:
(1) food sensitives or intolerances
(2) fermentation of bacteria within the gut from eating 'FODMAP' foods
(3) leaky gut syndrome or digestive disorders, including Crohn’s, celiac disease and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
(5) constipation ('poo farts')
(4) SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth)/excessive bacteria in the small intestine.
The author then goes on to suggest eliminating things from one's diet (seems sensible enough)
**But is there a 'holy grail'? can anyone recommend some kind of herbal / healthy drink / supplement? ....your advice what be greatly appreciated!!" (I'm only half joking with this post and do actually want some sensible comments!!)
Thanks for reading!
