Main causes

The main causes of stinky gases are:

1. Protein -rich foods

Excessive consumption of protein -rich foods such as milk, cheese, yogurts, red meats, fish and eggs increases the production of hydrogen sulfide by intestinal bacteria, the main substance responsible for making gases more stinky.

What to do: It is advisable to eat small portions of protein in the diet, and the intake of 1g of protein is suggested for each kg body weight per day. A person with 85 kg would consume 85g of protein per day, which is equivalent to 150g of grilled chicken breast and 100g of roasted sardines, for example.

2. Fiber -rich foods

Fiber-rich foods that also contain high sulfur content such as broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, leeks, onions, radish, turnip and Brussels kale are the ones that produce the most stinky gases.

Although they do not directly favor the formation of fediid gases, foods rich in fiber, such as beans, soy, lentils, oats, asparagus, apple, almond, take more time to digested in the intestine, which can cause increased fermentation by bacteria, facilitating gas formation. Meet other fiber -rich foods.

What to do: It is recommended to reduce the consumption of rich sulfur vegetables. In addition, one can also try to reduce the intake of vegetables and fruits with high fiber content. However, it is important to emphasize that fibers are fundamental to maintaining health and, therefore, the reduction of consumption of these foods should only be done during the period when more gases are.

3. Gastrointestinal changes

Some gastrointestinal problems, such as constipation, diarrhea, food poisoning, lactose intolerance, celiac disease and colon cancer may cause imbalance in intestinal flora, favoring the formation of stinky gases.

What to do: In these cases, it is important to go through an appointment with a doctor and a nutritionist to make a complete health assessment, the necessary drugs are recommended and a individualized diet is prescribed to treat health condition. See an example of a diet to avoid and decrease gases.

4. Medicines

Some medications, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and laxatives may cause changes in intestinal flora, modifying the composition of bowel bacteria and causing increased fedued gases.

What to do: Strengthen and increase the beneficial bacteria of the intestine, using probiotics such as kefir, kombucha and natural yogurt, helps to balance the intestinal flora, avoiding stinky gases. Get to know other probiotic foods that balance the intestinal flora.

5. Irritable bowel syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome can also cause stinky gases, abdominal pain and diarrhea and constipation periods. Irritable bowel syndrome is when there is inflammation of intestinal villi, which may be a consequence of stress, anxiety, food intolerance or allergies. See more about irritable bowel syndrome.

What to do: It is recommended to consult the gastroenterologist to make the diagnosis and thus be started treatment, which can be done with changes in food and decreased stress levels, for example.
