Bad Smelling Flatulence - The Cause & How to Get Rid of it

April 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Discover the Causes and Treatment For Bad Smelling Flatulence

If you ask people for three facts about flatulence, it is fair to say that most will not need to get to number three before they mention the fact that it smells. However, this is not always true - when we break wind it can often happen without any real smell being detectable by those around. However, bad smelling flatulence does happen - and when it does it can be quite demeaning. Sufferers of bad smelling flatulence cannot escape the problem, and unlike with the other major identifier of flatulence (the noise) it is impossible to disguise.

Why Does Flatulence Smell?

a) Flatulence is the expulsion of gases created by the digestive process in the course of breaking down food we have eaten. What we eat can have an influence on the way these gases smell - some of the more popular green vegetables, for example, are name checked quite regularly as causes of bad smelling flatulence. The reason for this is that in breaking them down, the stomach generates a chemical reaction which causes the flatulence to be tinged with an unpleasant smell. This is but one reason for bad smelling flatulence, however, and neither is it the case for everyone who eats broccoli, cabbage or asparagus.

b) The smell may also be tinged with fecal matter that has become compacted in the intestine due to constipation. Sufferers of constipation will scarcely realize it but when they go to the toilet, some of what they intended to pass will be left behind - or additionally, they may find that they have bad smelling gas because there is feces in their bowel that needs to be passed, but is not moving because the reflex of the bowel is not strong enough. When the bowel attempts to force it out, all it can do is generate flatulence, and this passes through the feces, causing the gas to be tinged with a particular smell.

Getting Rid Of Bad Smelling Flatulence

a) The smell of flatulence is variable depending on a number of factors. However if you tend to notice bad smelling flatulence more often than not, it is a problem you will want to address. A flatulence diary will be a wise idea here, as in this diary you can note down the things you have eaten on a given day and the characteristics of the gases that you have released. If you find that a particular food seems to be causing the problem, then it is a wise enough decision to cut back on that food or cut it out of your diet entirely, depending on how much you presently eat and how severe the problem is.

b) Sufferers of bad smelling flatulence may also find that the problem can be eased, if not cured by the use of probiotics or enzyme supplements. This will help with the more complete breakdown of food that is digested, and will lead to less bad smelling flatulence. If the problem persists, then regrettably there may be no other option than to discuss the problem with a doctor.
