What should I do if I have little stool and lots of farts?

Less stool and more gas may be due to physiological reasons, which usually do not require intervention; it may also be due to pathological reasons, such as functional constipation, functional dyspepsia, etc., which can be treated with medication. 1. Physiological reasons: It may be caused by improper diet. If you overeat gas-producing foods such as beans and sweet potatoes, and drink little water, it is easy to cause this situation in a short period of time. After stopping the consumption of gas-producing foods and drinking more water, this symptom can be relieved and usually does not require special treatment. 2. Pathologic causes: (1) Functional constipation: it may be due to bad dietary habits, lack of exercise and other reasons. Intestinal peristalsis is slowed down, and it is easy to have fewer stools, and the food residues are decomposed by bacteria in the intestine to produce a lot of gas, and there is a phenomenon of more exhaust. Develop the habit of regular defecation, supplement dietary fiber, and increase physical exercise. If the above measures still fail to improve, you can consider taking drugs such as lactulose to improve symptoms. (2) Functional dyspepsia: When dyspepsia occurs, gastrointestinal function will be disturbed, slowing down gastrointestinal peristalsis, resulting in less stools and more gas. Gastrointestinal stimulating drugs such as domperidone can be given appropriately. The above drugs are for reference only and should be used in accordance with medical advice. When symptoms such as less stool and more farts occur, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for further examination, so that the cause can be clarified with the doctor’s help and targeted treatment or therapy can be carried out.
