What's wrong with only farting and no pooping

When you eat inappropriate food, your stomach and intestines will be harmed, resulting in diarrhea. When you have a stomachache, having a bowel movement will relieve it. But why do some people only fart but not poop? In fact, indigestion will cause a large amount of gas to be produced in the stomach and intestines, and the slower gastrointestinal motility will produce more gas. To solve the problem of gas in the stomach, you can massage your stomach more often.

1. What is the problem of farting but not pooping?

It may be due to intestinal dysfunction, which causes weakened gastric motility and indigestion, further causing farting but no pooping, and requires active and comprehensive treatment. It is recommended to take Bifidobacterium quadruple live bacteria tablets to regulate intestinal function. You can also use traditional Chinese medicine conditioning such as hot compress on the abdomen + abdominal massage. Or you can take metoclopramide to promote gastric motility, take stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablets to aid digestion, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, do not smoke or drink, do not eat too much at each meal, eat small meals frequently, chew meals slowly, exercise more, stay up late less, and develop good habits of regular bowel movements.

2. What is the cause of excessive farting?

As an external feedback of the human body's digestive function, it reflects the body's functional status to a certain extent. Excessive farting indicates increased gastrointestinal gas production, which is usually caused by three situations: damaged spleen and stomach function, eating too much indigestible food such as fatty meat, soybeans, peanuts, corn, etc., and overeating. When people have indigestion, intestinal bacteria ferment quickly, making it more likely to produce gas and cause people to fart.

Generally, the gas in the intestine mainly comes from the gas swallowed and the gas produced in the digestive tract (especially the gas produced by bacterial fermentation). The sources of the liquid in the intestine include saliva, gastric juice, bile, pancreatic juice and small intestinal juice. In healthy people, these fluids and gases can be reabsorbed or partially excreted through the normal digestive process.

3. What is the cause of abdominal distension and frequent farting?

1. Gastrointestinal diseases

Gastric diseases: common in chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, gastric ptosis, gastric dilatation and pyloric obstruction, etc.

Intestinal diseases: common in intestinal tuberculosis, dysentery, intestinal obstruction and habitual constipation, etc.

Other: Gastrointestinal neurosis.

2. Liver, gallbladder and pancreatic diseases such as acute and chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, chronic cholecystitis, cholelithiasis and pancreatitis.

3. Peritoneal diseases are common in acute peritonitis, tuberculous peritonitis, etc.

4. Cardiovascular diseases are common in heart failure, mesenteric arteriosclerosis, mesenteric artery infarction, etc. Angina pectoris and arrhythmias can also cause abdominal distension reflexively.

5. Acute infectious diseases such as sepsis, severe pneumonia and typhoid fever.
