Flatulence Causes Symptoms Home Remedies

Flatulence is commonly known as "farting" or passing gas. Is a natural function of the body that occurs when our digestive system breaks down food. It is the release of gas or passing of gas from the digestive system through the rectum. The primary gases in flatulence include oxygen, nitrogen, methane, carbon dioxide, and small amounts of other gases.

While flatulence is a normal part of the digestive process, factors such as swallowing air, certain foods, and underlying medical conditions contribute to increased flatulence. Although it can be socially awkward, flatulence is generally necessary and harmless for the digestive health of the body.
