How to get rid of rotten egg farts
WHAT are your farts telling you? Nutritionist Kim D'Eon decodes main causes of your gas.
okay so here we are back in part two of
Bart's where I promised you I would tell
you all about what your farts are
telling you because I got a great
question that came in and I think in
answering that I'll help you all out
with deciphering your farts I've always
been a gassy person I'm constantly
holding in my gas and often have cramps
because of it and when I finally can let
it out it smells terrible
I'm starting to think this isn't normal
is it okay alright okay let's get into
it
what are your farts telling you is it
normal like I said in the previous video
everyone parts about 10 to 20 times a
day some of them have a little bit of a
stank to them because there is sulfur up
in there but you know if you're farting
all the time and it's causing you
discomfort and pain then they're they're
quite stinky it could mean quite a lot
of things and it all comes down to
digestion so I'm just going to take you
through the various different things
that might be going wrong with your
digestion that is contributing to
excessive gas and the first one is you
might have a carbohydrate intolerance
now this is a really interesting thing
that happens when we eat too much of one
food all the time and we exhaust the
enzymes needed to digest those foods in
a lot of cultures carbohydrates refined
carbohydrates are a food that we eat all
the time since we're little and so we
will often deplete the enzymes needed to
break those carbohydrates down properly
and so we're not really digesting them
properly I told you what happens to
undigested food in the system the
bacteria feed off of it and they create
gas so you might have a carbohydrate
intolerance you might be low in amylase
or one of the other enzymes that breaks
carbs down or you might actually have a
gluten sensitivity again a lot of people
have a sensitivity to gluten and gliadin
their large protein molecules and often
are hard to digest then there is of
course celiac disease which would often
be accompanied by a lot of a lot of
cramping diarrhea and vitamin
deficiencies if you think you have
celiac disease please go get tested and
of course then you'd have to avoid
strictly anything that has gluten in it
and number two would be an intolerance
to Dairy which is very similar to the
carbohydrate intolerance where you are
just lacking the enzyme necessary to
break down the sugars that are on milk
now the sugars that are in milk are
called lactose we need an enzyme called
lactase to break down that sugar if we
are missing that or it's exhausted
because we've been having too much dairy
our entire lives again undigested sugars
in your system bacteria feed off of it
too much gas so if you suspect you might
be lactose intolerant you can take an
enzyme that has lactate in it or you
could try giving up dairy or cutting it
back a lot and see how that helps you
also a lot of people just have a hard
time digesting dairy for a whole other
reason there's casein in it it's a large
protein molecule and it's a highly
allergenic food so a lot of people
aren't digesting dairy properly anyway
and so it could be that in that case an
enzyme won't help you I would just
suggest to cut back or cut it out and
see if you get less gas so the third
reason that you might be having
excessive yucky farts is because you
might be eating too much meat or maybe
me just doesn't agree with you now meat
is really hard to digest so a lot of us
have compromised digestion already but
you don't have good stomach acid your
pancreas isn't working as effectively at
you know releasing the enzymes that you
need to digest meat so a lot of people
do have problems digesting meat properly
so it goes through the system very
slowly it kind of hangs around it's
there's a lot of undigested particles
and proteins going through your system
that bacteria can feed on and putrefy
and whatnot so that might be one of your
issues if that is an issue and you think
you're eating maybe too much meat again
cut back or cut it out for a while see
what happens take it take a food journal
just to mark your progress so you know
if it's actually that or maybe it's
something else now one of the most
common reasons that people have
excessive gas and I fart just way too
much is because of bad food combining
now this is a little bit tricky because
there's the whole thing to get into
about what foods combine well with other
foods and I'm not going to get into it
right now because it is a little bit
complicated and a lot of people can't
really effectively incorporate proper
food combining into their lives on
if you have a superior problem and you
want to try food combining I highly
recommend it it's very very good but for
the average person I like to just point
out one or two things about food
combining and that is fruit digests a
lot quicker than other foods so it's
best to try to have fruit alone and away
from other foods and then you have like
proteins and starchy carbs which digests
a totally different rate they need
different enzymes to do the digesting
and so when you combine those two things
and say like a hamburger or spaghetti
and meatballs that compromises digestion
and then you get gas for the reasons I
mentioned about so if you're really
concerned about it try to eat fruits
alone and also try not to have starchy
carbs with your animal proteins the
fifth reason that you might be having
too much gas state starts is because you
might be constipated now if you're
constipated you know now if you're
constipated all that is sort of roughage
and undigested food or part indigestion
Balma Tyrael it's sitting around in your
colon and bacteria will continue to feed
off of it and it will continue to create
gas and often that can be more odorous
because of the type of food that it is
in the type of bacteria that's digesting
it in the colon so try and get things
moving that's a whole other conversation
but constipation can be a reason for
smelly and excessive gas so the sixth
reason that you might be having too much
gas or what your body might be trying to
tell you with all of that gas is that
you have a yeast overgrowth so there's a
yeast that we have naturally in our
systems called candida it needs to be
there it can be beneficial but if too
much of it occurs because it's feeding
on too many of these undigested sugars
then we have a an imbalance in our gut
bacteria it's dysbiosis candidiasis you
might have heard it being called a lot
of different things but basically if you
have too much yeast it kind of turns
into it'll it's it changes its structure
from small or yeast organisms to the
larger unfriendly fungus that can I mean
this is a whole other condition but your
body might be telling you that you have
too much Candida in the system too much
yeast it's feeding on the undigested
sugars you will know that like as soon
as you eat a pizza crust or beer or
cookies and candies that
you instantly get gas that could be
yeast overgrowth and then the seventh
reason is you might have an infection in
your gut lining so you might have a
parasite or fungus bacteria that sort of
lodged in your gut lining which would be
feeding off your food and creating a lot
of gas if you suspect you might have an
infection obviously you need to go to
the doctor and get that sorted out
there's lots of different things that
you can do naturally to try and get rid
of infections but you know that could be
one of the reasons so there you have it
those are seven things that your body
might be trying to tell you with your
excessive farting if you're wondering
which it could be for you what I would
tell you to do right now is start a food
journal just map out the next seven days
on a little chart write down everything
you eat when you eat it and then about
20 minutes after to a half an hour after
write down how you feel and if you have
any symptoms and then when you review
that a week after it might help point to
you know it's like a little mystery it
might help you do some Sherlock Holmes
in on your own diet and try and get to
the bottom of why you may be farting too
much yes so I hope this helped I know
that it's something a lot of people
don't like to talk about but it's really
important to know what your body's
telling you and if your digestion is off
if you like this video please give it a
like share it with your friends who you
think might be a little bit too gassy I
actually do have a third part to this
farting bonanza and it's going to talk
about all the things that you can do to
stop farting so much if farting is a
problem for you excessive gas is a
problem for you and your loved ones I've
got a list of things that you could be
doing and eating to make your life a
little bit better and that's going to be
in next week's Q&A so keep your eye out
for that in the meantime I wish you
healthy bellies and happy lives
