2. flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract is very common in clinic, often manifested as belching, abdominal distension, abdominal pain and suffocation (fart). Next, let's learn about flatulence.
Sources of gastrointestinal gas:
Normal adults keep about100-150ml of gas in the gastrointestinal tract every day. When the amount of gas increases, flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract is formed. First, air is swallowed into the gastrointestinal tract with swallowing or drinking water; Second, food is fermented by bacteria in the intestine to produce gas; Third, the gas diffuses from the blood vessels to the intestinal cavity.
Excretion of gastrointestinal gas:
Oral secretions are belching, anal secretions are out of breath, and most of them are absorbed by the intestinal wall.
Mechanism of flatulence in gastrointestinal tract;
1. Swallow a lot of air: Swallow a lot of gas; When mental factors or some gastrointestinal diseases increase saliva, more gas can also be swallowed with saliva; When drinking a lot of water or drinks, it is also easy to swallow air.
2. Intestinal emptying disorder: When intestinal obstruction or intestinal wall tension is weakened, excessive gas and liquid can accumulate in the intestine.
3. Dyspepsia: Coarse food containing more cellulose can increase the intestinal cavity capacity, affect normal peristalsis and cause abdominal distension; Long-term application of broad-spectrum antibiotics will inhibit normal intestinal flora and cause food fermentation to produce gas.
Many gastrointestinal diseases, as well as diseases such as hepatobiliary pancreas and peritoneum, will produce flatulence in the gastrointestinal tract.
