5 Causes of Farting:
Low Stomach Acid: This condition known as hypochlorhydria can inhibit digestive motility and trigger digestive disturbances that increase bacterial fermentation. Under conditions of low stomach acid, food particles that remain undigested are metabolized by certain bacteria that can contribute to bloating and farting.
Constipation: The longer the period of time food sits in the digestive system, the increased risk you will have of bacterial fermentation and the overproduction of intestinal gas.
Abnormal Gut Microflora: Gases produced are dependent on the health of the gut microbiome. The composition of both supportive and harmful bacteria residing in the digestive system is different in every individual. This microbiome composition can make us susceptible to excessive gas production.
Gaseous Odor Build-Up: Undigested food residue that becomes trapped in the colon increases the fermentation of colon bacteria which in turn produces gas.
Aerophagia (Swallowing Air): This involuntary habit of swallowing air builds up in the stomach only to escape as flatulence. Air is vented into the stomach following muscle changes that have allowed the intake of air and ineffective attempts of belching to rid of the air. You will later learn how eating too fast and not properly chewing your food can lead to excessive swallowing of air

CAUSES AND RISK FACTORS OF DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is a common problem that can come on suddenly or be a chronic complaint. Some possible causes of diarrhea include food poisoning, infections, food allergies or intolerances, and medication. There are also some conditions that cause chronic diarrhea that run in families or, rarely, have a genetic basis.
You can reduce your risk of acute diarrhea by learning good food safety and cleanliness habits, whether at home or while traveling.
Common Causes of Acute Diarrhea
The most common cause of diarrhea, especially that which starts suddenly (acute diarrhea), is an infection. This can be bacterial, viral, or parasitic and include:
Food poisoning
Traveler's diarrhea
Stomach flu
Food Poisoning
Food poisoning occurs when you eat food that is contaminated with bacteria. The bacteria build up toxins in the food that make you sick.
Causes of food poisoning are poor sanitation, improper food handling, and food being stored at the wrong temperature.
How long diarrhea lasts: Usually less than two days
Triggered by: Toxins in food
When symptoms appear: Within two to six hours of ingesting the food
Appearance: Explosive, watery
Other symptoms: Abdominal cramps, fever, vomiting, weakness
Traveler’s Diarrhea
Traveler’s diarrhea is caused by eating food or drinking water that is contaminated with bacteria or parasites. If you have diarrhea and recently traveled or drank untreated water from a stream, river, or pond (in the U.S. or elsewhere), call your doctor.
How long diarrhea lasts: Usually less than one week
Triggered by: Food or water that is contaminated by bacteria, viruses, or parasites
When symptoms appear: Within 12 to 24 hours
Appearance: Explosive, watery, sometimes contains mucus or blood
Other symptoms: Possible vomiting and/or fever
Stomach Flu
Stomach flu, also known as gastroenteritis, is caused by a virus, but not the same that causes seasonal flu (influenza). Examples of viruses that can cause stomach flu are rotavirus and norovirus. Gastroenteritis also can be caused by a bacterium or a parasite.
How long diarrhea lasts: Usually three to eight days
Triggered by: A virus, bacterium, or parasite
When symptoms appear: Within two days of exposure
Appearance: Watery
Other symptoms: Vomiting, fever, achiness
Common Causes of Chronic Diarrhea
Diarrhea that goes on for weeks or months may be caused by an infection, or it may be caused by an underlying medical condition or one of many other potential causes, some of which include the following:
Celiac Disease
If you have untreated celiac disease, you may have a hard time linking your symptoms with a specific food because your gut is damaged and you may experience symptoms all the time.
How long diarrhea lasts: More than four weeks
Triggered by: Gluten
Appearance: Large, bad-smelling stools that float and may appear greasy
Other symptoms: Unintended weight loss, lack of energy, lack of growth in children, as well as many other possible symptoms
Food Allergy
Symptoms of classic Ig-E mediated food allergy begin within minutes to hours of eating a trigger food. It is possible to be allergic to any food, but a few foods cause the most common food allergies.
How long diarrhea lasts: Usually less than 24 hours
Triggered by: A specific food
When symptoms appear: Within two hours
Appearance: Watery, may contain blood
Other symptoms: Hives; vomiting; swelling of face, tongue or throat; eczema
Food Intolerance
Food intolerance is caused by a lack of the enzymes needed to digest a specific food. Lactose intolerance, the inability to digest the sugars in milk, is the most common, but it's possible to be intolerant of other foods as well.
How long diarrhea lasts: More than four weeks
Triggered by: A specific food
When symptoms appear: Two to 12 hours
Appearance: Watery, sometimes contains mucous
Other symptoms: Gassiness, abdominal cramps or pain
Infants usually show signs of protein intolerance within a few months of birth. Some infants may react to food proteins present in breastmilk while others may react to formulas based on either cow’s milk or soy.
How long diarrhea lasts: More than two weeks
Triggered by: Dairy or soy products, sometimes by egg or other proteins
When symptoms appear: Two hours or more
Appearance: Streaks of mucous or blood
Other symptoms: Distended belly, crying, failure to thrive
Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, both of which have chronic diarrhea as a symptom. Both are incurable chronic diseases of the digestive tract that may be treated with surgery or managed with medication.
How long diarrhea lasts: More than four weeks
Triggered by: Not related to a specific food
Appearance: Blood or mucous in stool
Other symptoms: Abdominal pain, fever, weight loss, delayed growth in children
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) describes chronic diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain that does not have a known disease as a cause.
How long diarrhea lasts: At least six months
Triggered by: Not related to a specific food, though certain foods may aggravate symptoms
Appearance: Small, frequent stools
Other symptoms: Chronic abdominal bloating or distention; constipation; pain relieved by bowel movement
The American College of Gastroenterology recommends that anyone diagnosed with IBS and diarrhea be tested for celiac disease.
Medication
Some medications, in particular antibiotics and chemotherapy, can cause diarrhea, as well as laxatives containing magnesium. You may have a reaction to the medication itself or an additive, such as a flavoring.
A medication may also alter the balance of bacteria in your gut, causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. Sometimes the cause of diarrhea is taking too many laxatives or longer-term abuse of laxatives.
Talk to your doctor if you have diarrhea after starting a new medication.
Genetics
There are congenital diarrheal disorders linked to specific genes. These disorders usually come on in the first few months of a child's life. They are often most common in certain populations, although congenital chloride diarrhea is one that appears worldwide.
Some other conditions that may cause chronic diarrhea also tend to run in families, including celiac disease, some forms of lactose intolerance, and food allergies.
Lifestyle Risk Factors
A change to your diet, such as going on a mostly liquid diet, eating too much fiber, or eating spicy foods may lead to diarrhea.
Beyond examining and, perhaps, adjusting what you eat and rink, other habits and exposures can put you at greater risk for diarrhea:
Personal Hygiene
The bacteria, viruses, and parasites that cause traveler's diarrhea and stomach flu are spread by contact with contaminated surfaces, food, and water. In the medical world, this is called the fecal-oral route. To reduce your risks, wash your hands well after using the bathroom, changing your child's diapers, and before eating.If you don't have access to soap and water, use an alcohol-based hand gel.
Never drink untreated water from a natural source, such as a stream. Even in developed countries, they can be contaminated with diarrhea-causing parasites spread by wildlife, such as Giardia.
When traveling to areas that have a higher risk of contaminated water and food, drink only bottled water and don't use ice unless it is from bottled or purified water. Avoid uncooked vegetables and fruits (unless they can be peeled), raw shellfish, undercooked meat, and dairy products.
Improper Food Handling
Since food poisoning is often caused by improper food handling, it's wise to follow these tips outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Clean: Keep your kitchen clean; wash utensils and cutting boards with hot, soapy water.
Separate: Raw meat, seafood, poultry, and eggs should be kept separate from other food. Use a separate cutting board for these items.
Cook: Use a food thermometer to ensure meat is cooked to an internal temperature that will kill the bacteria that cause food poisoning.
Chill: Be sure your refrigerator is kept below 40 degrees. Thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator or microwave, not out on the counter.

Gastric Pain: Treatment and Prevention Tips
​​​​Gastric pain is sometimes called dyspepsia. The Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Singapore General Hospital​​(SGH) provides treatment advice and prevention ​tips​​​​.
Treatment for common gastric pain
The gastric pain that many Singaporeans experience in their upper abdomen is most commonly non-ulcer dyspepsia.
“Non-ulcer dyspepsia, also known as functional dyspepsia, is the term used for gastric pain when all organic causes have been ruled out,” say doctors​​ from the Department of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, Singapore General Hospital (SGH), a member of the SingHealth​ group.
Non-ulcer dyspepsia treatment
As stress is suspected​ to be a cause of non-ulcer dyspepsia, doctors may prescribe low doses of antidepressants and anxiety-relieving drugs to help alleviate symptoms.​
Medication to reduce stomach acid is also often given. There are two types of stomach acid-reducing medicines:
​H2 blockers, or histamine-2 blockers, which include cimetidine, rantidine, nizatidine and famotidine
Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), which include omeprazole, lansoprazole, pantoprazole, rabeprazole, and esomeprazole.
Although both work in different ways, they help lower the amount of acid that the stomach produces.
Peptic ulcer treatment
If tests reveal that your gastric pain is due to a peptic ulcer, your doctor is likely to prescribe drugs to reduce stomach acid, as described above.
If your ulcer is related to an H. pylori infection, you may also receive short-term triple therapy, consisting of one acid-reducing agent and two antibiotics. Generally, triple therapy successfully eradicates the bacteria in up to 90 per cent of cases

Bloated stomach: 9 ways to reduce abdominal bloating
How to get rid of a bloated stomach
Abdominal bloating usually gets better on its own after a few hours. But if it's really bothering you or keeps recurring, Shubrook recommends the following 10 remedies to beat belly bloat:
1.Reduce stress
Practising mindfulness meditation for just 10 minutes a day has been shown to reduce the stress response in the body, which in turn can ease abdominal bloating. Research into the benefits of meditation have reported improved memory, greater emotional intelligence and increased creativity as well as better stress management, so learning to meditate could benefit your overall health as well as your gut. To get started, read our beginner meditation tips.
2. Eliminate suspect foods
Food intolerances can lead to stomach bloating, and one way to rule out certain foods is to follow an elimination diet. 'If you suspect a food intolerance, such as gluten or dairy, remove that food completely for a minimum of 21 days and see if your symptoms improve,' suggests Shubrook.
The foods should then be reintroduced, one at a time, monitoring for symptoms that show a reaction. 'It's important that this is adhered to strictly as the body can take a while to remove all existing gluten, for example, and any small amount during that phase could still cause a reaction,' adds Shubrook.
Always check with your doctor before starting an elimination diet as restricting food groups can cause a nutritional deficiency and in cases of genuine allergies, dietary elimination needs to be carefully controlled.
3. Take a probiotic supplement
If you've taken several courses of antibiotics, picked up a stomach bug overseas, or your diet has been high in sugar and low in fibre, taking a probiotic or making sure probiotics are included in your diet may help.
'Our gut microbiome is very sensitive and certain medications and dietary choices can easily affect bacteria levels, so using a probiotic for four weeks can help to reset this,' says says Shubrook. 'Probiotic supplements such as Optibac or ProVen are a stronger dose than a probiotic drink, and may be good as a boost while you make changes to your diet.'
4. Eat fermented foods
Foods such as yoghurt, kefir, tempeh, kimchi, miso, sauerkraut all contain a healthy dose of probiotics as they are naturally fermented foods. These supply the gut with some healthy bacteria.
Prebiotics are also essential as they are the foods that we as humans may not digest but that our healthy bacteria thrive on - they are found in foods such as onions, garlic, leeks, bananas, berries, greens, tomatoes and asparagus. Of course some of these foods may be associated with bloating. Work out which prebiotic foods do not make you bloat and include them in your diet to encourage good gut health.
5. Fill up on fibre
A probiotic is great for putting the good bacteria back into the digestive system, but we need to keep it there and bacteria loves to feed on fibre. High-fibre foods include fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans, nuts, seeds, whole grains, oats and potatoes with their skin on.
The NHS recommends 30g of fibre a day for adults but estimates that most of us get just 18g, so try to fill up on fibre to boost your digestive health. 'Making a concerted effort to increase fibre may really help,' says Shubrook.
6. Stay hydrated
Sipping water throughout the day can really help with digestive bloat. Dehydration will reduce the ease of transit through the digestive system, so make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. If you're in a hot climate or exercising, remember to replace any lost fluids so you do not get dehydrated. Coffee can also be dehydrating so try and minimise caffeine and opt for water as much as possible.
7. Chew your food
Your food should actually be like mush or baby food before swallowing it, explains Shubrook, but all too often we eat at our desks, in front of the TV or in a rush. 'This means we tend to swallow bigger chunks of undigested food, which can put extra burden on the digestive system and cause bloating,' she adds.
Enjoying un-rushed and mindful mealtimes is good for digestion, so don't skip breakfast, schedule in a lunch break and take your time with your food. Swallowing a lot of air while eating also traps gas in the gut, so trying not to talk while eating can help.
8. Eat cooked veg over raw salad
Cooking or steaming your vegetables breaks down the structure of the food, and can actually enhance their phytonutrients, making it easier for the stomach to digest them, rather than raw foods which may cause more bloating, says Shubrook.
9. Cut back on salt
Salt can have a huge impact on your gut health and can also lead to raised blood pressure, which can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke, so cut your salt intake back. 'Salt encourages your body to retain water, especially around your stomach,' says Shubrook. 'Not all bloating is caused by gas.
According to the NHS, adults should eat no more than 6g of salt a day (2.4g sodium) – that's around 1 teaspoon

Can Fasting or Irregular Eating cause Acidity?
Acidity or heartburn is a fairly common digestive discomfort that we experience every-so-often. Recognized by a burning sensation around the throat and lower chest area, the condition is typically a result of bad eating habits and a poor lifestyle routine. Overeating, having gassy and fried foods, eating just before bed, and a sedentary lifestyle are some of the most common causes of acidity and heartburn. However, in many cases, the problem can also arise due to some uncommon factors like irregular eating and fasting.
Fasting is a sacred and common practice in Indian households. Apart from having a major religious and spiritual significance, it is also considered beneficial for our health. For instance, fasting is often associated with decreased bad cholesterol levels and minimized risk of weight gain and diabetes. But sometimes, it can result in acidity.
How fasting can cause acidity?
Fasting is defined as the practice of wilful refrainment from eating. It is typically carried out on special occasions of religious significance or for other reasons like weight management and detox. But unfortunately, skipping meals can sometimes increase the risk of acidity.
Here’s what happens when you’re fasting:
Your stomach produces digestive juices and acids regularly in order to digest foods. This process doesn’t stop even when you’re skipping meals or fasting.
Fasting tends to leave you with an empty stomach and with no food to be digested. This can lead to the accumulation of stomach acid, which otherwise would have been used for breaking down the food.
This may eventually force the stomach acid to flow up into the oesophagus, causing pain and discomfort in the chest and throat areas. Moreover, this may also leave a bitter taste in your mouth.
In simple words, fasting does share a risk of acidity. But, this does not mean you should avoid practicing it altogether. Health experts suggest that acidity while fasting can be managed easily with simple tips. Some of the key tips include:
Drink warm water at regular intervals. This helps in tricking your stomach that you’re eating, which in turn encourages it to use the acid safely.
Sip water in small quantities rather than gulping a full bottle at once. If you drink a full bottle of water at once, your stomach may produce more acid to digest extra food (which is actually water), eventually resulting in heartburn.
Lastly, make sure that you get a sound sleep of at least 7 to 8 hours during fasting days. This can help in minimizing the risk of acidity.
In case you still experience heartburn, take tablets for gas and acidity. You can also consume natural antacids like Gas-O-Fast Jeera, which is a fast-acting natural remedy. It neutralizes the acid on contact and is known to provide instant relief from acidity.
