Farting is a normal physiological phenomenon in humans. When a person eats food, more gas is produced due to the action of the normal flora of the digestive tract. These gases, along with intestinal peristalsis, run downward and are expelled from the anus. When expelled, due to the role of the anal sphincter, sometimes also produces a loud sound. Therefore, farting is a manifestation of the normal operation of the intestinal tract. On the contrary, if you do not fart, or if you fart too much and too smelly, it is an abnormal phenomenon. Farts are emissions from the body, mostly carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane.
Farting is a sign that your baby has digestive problems. You should reduce the amount of milk, add boiled water to reduce the intake of fat and high-protein food, and add milk with glucose containing bifidus factor, which can be converted into bifidobacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to inhibit E. coli and promote the digestion and absorption of food. The effect.
2. Empty farts: Intermittent and incessant farts without odor are mostly caused by the enhancement of intestinal peristalsis caused by hunger after gastrointestinal evacuation. At this time, we often hear a burst of intestinal sounds, this is the child is hungry, should be fed in a timely manner.
3, more farts: more farts and more stools, often due to children eat more starchy food caused by the high content of food, this time should reduce the amount of starchy food, appropriate to increase the protein, fatty food.
This phenomenon is very common in infancy. This is due to the immaturity of the infant’s gastrointestinal development, resulting in intestinal flatulence caused by uncoordinated intestinal peristalsis at all stages of infancy. The medical term for this phenomenon is infant colic. Since this kind of colic is a general problem in infant development.
Therefore, it is important to keep the infant in a comfortable position as much as possible, to assist the child to defecate smoothly, and to use some dimethicone oil to improve gastrointestinal motility only in severe cases.
