In addition, certain bad eating habits, such as laughing or talking loudly during meals, lead to excessive air entering the gastrointestinal tract, which can also lead to increased farting in the elderly. 2. Pathological factors: Gastroenteritis, dyspepsia, gastrointestinal dysfunction, peptic ulcer, gastrointestinal polyps, gastrointestinal cancer and other digestive disorders can also lead to an increase in the amount of gas in the gastrointestinal tract, resulting in farting.
