Have you ever felt that unpleasant bloating after a heavy meal? This feeling often comes from a build-up of intestinal gas. If you hold it in, it puts pressure on your intestines, causing pain and bloating. Releasing this gas is the easiest and most natural way to regain comfort and avoid prolonged discomfort.
Prevention against unnecessary pain
Some abdominal pains can be so intense that they are mistaken for more serious disorders, such as appendicitis. In reality, sometimes they are simply gas trapped in the digestive system. Rather than suffering unnecessarily, it is better to evacuate them to immediately reduce the pressure on your intestines.
An indicator of your digestive health
Our flatulence says a lot about our diet and digestion. A particularly strong odor can be a sign of a food intolerance, such as lactose or gluten. If you notice sudden changes in the frequency or smell of your gas, this may be a signal to readjust your diet and avoid certain poorly tolerated foods.
A sign of a balanced diet
A diet rich in fiber – vegetables, legumes, whole grains – stimulates the production of gas. This phenomenon is completely normal and even beneficial! It indicates that your intestinal microbiota is functioning properly. So, rather than worry, consider your flatulence as a good indicator of your digestive health.
A protection against certain intestinal diseases
Holding in gas too often can weaken your colon. Excessive pressure on the intestinal walls can promote the appearance of diverticula, small inflamed pockets that can cause pain and complications. By releasing your gas regularly, you preserve the health of your colon and limit the risk of chronic digestive disorders.
