Is the presence of a mixture of gases known as flatus in the digestive tract of mammals expelled from the rectum. Excessive flatulence can be caused by lactose intoler ance, certain foods or a sudden switch to a high fibre.
Production of gas by bacteria in the large intestine; hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. May be caused by a variety of foods that are incompletely digested in the small intestine.
The presence of excessive gas in the intestinal tract, causing discomfort.
Intestinal or stomach gas. If it rises upwards, it is an eructation (burp or belch); if it descends, causing borborygmus (love that word), you are flatulent (fartish).
The presence of an excessive amount of gas in stomach and intestine.
Accumulation of excessive gas in the intestines.
Excessive gas in the alimentary canal.
Excessive gassiness in the gastrointestinal tract.
Gas or air which collects in the stomach or intestines causing discomfort.
Air and gas which collects in the intestines and is painful.
Release from the anus of gases (methane, sulfur dioxide, etc.) produced in the large intestine through the action of intestinal flora on food residue. If the gas is not released, intestinal distention and discomfort result.
Abnormal amount of abdominal gas, causing distension of the stomach or intestine and sometimes discomfort.
Gas in the stomach and/or intestines.
Excessive gas in the intestinal tract, in the stomach or intestines.
Intestinal gas that is the end product of bacteria in the large intestine feeding on undigested food.
The expulsion of air from the digestive tract through the anus. Flatulence is also known as flatus. Lower intestinal gas is the result of bacterial fermentation of food residue in the colon. Approximately a half quart of gas is produced by the body each day. Management of flatulence depends on its cause. It is often helpful to eat fewer gas-producing foods or to exercise more to encourage passage of gas through the digestive tract. In some cases, medications are recommended or prescribed to relieve gas. If lactose intolerance is producing excess flatulence, doctors suggest decreasing the intake of milk and dairy products or taking a supplement containing lactase, the enzyme that digests milk sugar. Flatulence is rarely a symptom of a serious disease.
The expulsion of gas or air from the stomach through the mouth by belching or from the bowel by passing flatus.
Intestinal gas, composed partly of swallowed air and partly of gas produced by bacterial fermentation of intestinal contents. It consists of nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane in varying proportions.
A collection of gas in the stomach or bowels. In the former case the gas is expelled by the mouth, from time to time, in noisy eructations; in the latter it may produce rumblings in the bowels, or be expelled from the anus.
Gas from the intestines that is passed out via the anus; it is formed in the large intestine as a result of bacteria breaking down carbohydrate and amino acids in digested food.
Abdominal discomfort or a feeling of fullness that can be alleviated by belching or passing gas through the anus. Flatulence is a common symptom associated with various gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome and gallbladder disorders.
When a person is standing upright, most of the air they swallow goes back up the esophagus and is expelled through the mouth by belching. However, when someone is lying down, the swallowed air may travel through the intestine and be released through the anus as flatulence. Gas that is formed in the intestine is only expelled through the anus.
Gas, also known as “wind,” is expelled through the anus. It is produced in the large intestine when bacteria break down carbohydrates and amino acids from the food we consume. The gas comprises hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. Additionally, air can be inadvertently swallowed during eating, which can then enter the stomach or intestine and contribute to gas buildup.
Excessive gas in the digestive system can lead to flatulence, causing abdominal discomfort. This discomfort can be alleviated either by passing gas or through defecation (passing feces).
An abnormal amount of gas in the digestive tract.
