What are the causes of gas that bothers people
We have a rich cuisine. Full of tomato paste, oil, and meat... We even have people who cannot feel full without eating meat. There are those who wake up in the middle of the night to eat. There are those who eat much more bread than food, and alongside this, those who drink only 1-2 glasses of water a day. Everything I have listed here is a cause of meteorism — that is, gas formation due to incomplete digestion.
The digestion of food begins in the mouth with chewing. Food that reaches the stomach after swallowing undergoes mechanical digestion through the stomach's movements and chemical digestion through stomach juices. The chemical digestion process, which occurs through enzymes and secretions, reaches its maximum in the small intestine. In the large intestine, elimination occurs after the final absorption process takes place.
A certain amount of gas formation during digestion is natural. However, the gas that forms is expelled from the body by the gastrointestinal system in a controlled manner. What is pathological, what bothers the person, and what needs to be treated is gas that bothers the person and is not expelled through either the mouth or the rectum.
CAUSES OF GAS (METEORISM) FORMATION
- Disrupted gut flora (dysbiosis)
- The presence of food sensitivities
- Insufficiency of digestive enzymes (due to gallbladder surgery, pancreatic enzyme insufficiency developing due to dysbiosis, etc.)
- The presence of intestinal fungus (Candida) is the most common cause of gas formation. Of course, other complaints accompany this as well.
We can also list the behaviors that pave the way for this condition as follows:
- Eating quickly
- Eating a large amount at once after a long period of hunger
- Unbalanced eating
- One-sided eating
- Drinking too little water
- Drinking water while eating
- Consuming refined foods
- Eating too much at dinner
- Failing to establish a regular bathroom routine
- Eating a diet lacking in fiber
If, despite making these adjustments, there is no change in the gas formation that bothers you, I recommend seeing a complementary medicine specialist for gut flora examination and food analysis.
THE INTESTINE AS THE MAIN IMMUNE ORGAN
What can restrict the immune system?
After enzymatic breakdown of food, lymph coming from the intestinal region is delivered by the lymphatic vessel system found in the intestinal walls to the liver — the most important detoxification organ — where the largest lymphatic organ, Peyer's patches (80% of the lymphatic system), also opens. It can easily be imagined that toxins that become persistent in the intestine as a result of improper diet can block the Peyer's patches localized in the intestine before they even reach the liver, the detoxification station.
Since the human body manages to compensate for this poisoning and blockage of the immune system in other ways for a long time, we unfortunately only feel these events — which negatively affect our cellular functions — years later, when disease symptoms suddenly appear:
- Allergies
- Chronic skin diseases
- Rheumatic diseases
- Susceptibility to microbial illnesses
- Chronic fatigue
- Poor sleep quality
- Psychological illnesses
If such illnesses appear, they are the results of years of blockage in the intestine, the main immune organ. Toxic substances that cause illness through rot and fermentation in the intestine as a result of continuously improper eating are slowly but reliably eliminated through multiple sessions of large intestine cleansing with a colon hydrotherapy device, applied simultaneously with dietary change (nutrition for acid-base balance).
Cleansing the intestine of breakdown products only becomes meaningful if a simultaneous dietary change is also made.
- Depressive mood
- Lack of motivation / indifference / excessive tension
- Constant fatigue and lack of desire
- Generalized itching resistant to treatment
- Numerous skin rashes of all types
- Causes immune deficiency
If you have these findings, the probability that you have intestinal fungus, that is, Candida albicans, is high.
