Why Farts Smell
We asked Ms. Rika Tawa, a beauty intestinal counselor®, to answer her concerns about farts.
Q. My fart smells terrible, why?
My fart smells so bad I don't want to believe it's mine. I should be eating a normal meal, so I wonder why it smells like this. When you don't get through, it's a trauma level. I wondered what would happen if I appeared in public... (23 years old, office worker)
A. It is caused by putrid gas caused by the deterioration of the intestinal environment!
Mr. Rika Tawa The reason why farts smell bad is because the intestinal environment is deteriorating due to putrefactive gas generated when the food you eat is decomposed. One. In particular, when stool remains in the intestine for a long time due to constipation, E. coli breeds using it as food, producing a large amount of gas. It can also smell like a garbage station in midsummer. The first step in improving your diet is to change your eating habits. Try to eat plenty of fiber and reduce fats and animal proteins as much as possible.

I'm sick of my farts
I asked Ms. Saki Ono, an intestinal nurse, and Ms. Rika Tawa, an intestinal counselor®, about farts. I was told that I couldn't hear it.
Q. I feel like I'm going to have a big sound when I'm patient. Are you crazy?
It makes me want to fart as if I was aiming for the timing of "I don't want you to come out now". Only when I'm desperately trying to get through it, I feel like there's a loud noise, but is there a reason? I'm sick of myself while farting. (21 years old, student)
A. The sound may become louder as a result of an unexpected burst of force.
Mr. Saki OnoThe volume and height of the fart sound changes depending on the volume and speed of the fart coming out of the anus. Therefore, it is quite possible that the sound will be louder when you have been patient for a long time but cannot endure it and go all out. Also, unlike farts, holding in farts can cause a loud gurgling sound in the stomach. This happens because the gas in the intestines is displaced or the intestines are rushed by air bubbles that cannot be digested or metabolized.
Q. Gas builds up quickly. My stomach hurts when I endure it...
It may be related to my severe constipation, but it seems that gas tends to accumulate in my stomach. When I endure a fart that is about to come out, my stomach often hurts, which is really painful! Is there any solution... (25 years old, system)
A. Intestinal gas can also have adverse effects on the body. Get out without holding back.
Mr. Rika TawaWhen a lot of putrid gas that causes farts builds up in the intestines, the intestinal barrier is torn and a hole opens, which then enters the bloodstream. Gases and toxins can circulate throughout the body. Then, it may damage the cells of the body and accelerate aging, so it is better not to put up with it as much as possible and to let it out as a fart. To be honest, there is no other way than to put it out. It's safe to find a restroom where you can run to when you want to, or a place where you can be alone.
