Why do I fart alllllllllllllllllllllllll the time?

Question

Okay so I know this sounds gross or funny,and both. BUt man, Im talk about smelly, warm, and sometimes even vibrating, this is just getting out of hand. My bowel movements are weird now, thin, and Im bloated. I have no health insurance. Im Im afraid it might be something bigger. Over a year ago I had an ultrasound and the doctor said I had a mildly inlarged bile duct?? THen just left it at that. THe interment/mild pain is on my right side under my ribs, (Im a woman), where they had the ultrasound. And Im so constapaided. I take alot of fiber and thought it would help but no, what could it be?????HELPME PLEASE!!!

Answer 1

There are lots of reasons for increased gas production. It could be a result of the food you are eating; food that contains sulfur, like cabbage or beans, is often the worst. Or it could be the particular intestinal flora that you have (i.e., you just have a strain of harmless bacteria in your intestine that is particularly stinky). Another reason you may be farting a lot is how quickly you eat. Eating fast causes a lot of trapped gas, that if not released as burps, becomes farts. So to sum up...eat less stinky foods, eat more slowly, and hope you don't have just naturally smelly farts.

As for your other symptoms, it sounds like you may be suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which is a relatively benign but bothersome affliction. Look it up on WebMD or any other medical website.

Answer 2

I don't know about all the bile duct stuff. It might be a good idea to land yourself in an emergency room sometime when it's really bad. Most hospitals will reduce your costs after they are billed, if you show that your income will not allow you to pay that much.

Aside from medical treatment, there are a couple things that can help with the gas. One thing is that when you eat lots of fiber, you should also eat yogurt to help reduce the gas. Maalox sells over the counter a very good antacid that also has SIMETHICONE. That will help the gas problem a lot, once it is in progress. Also, if you are constipated, you should be drinking lots more water. Everybody should drink 2 quarts every day, and you may need more than that. It will really help that digestion.

Well, I'm a man and guess what, I suffer from IBS. It sounds like you have this condition as well. More commonly found in women than men. Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I won't recommen anything to you right here. Find a book on it, this will give you most of best and up to date literature about it. I recommend the following: HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL The Sensitive Gut, What You Can Do to Prevent & Treat

* Dyspepsia
* Reflux Disease
* Irritable Bowel Syndrome
* Constipation and more...

It assisted me with my dilemma.
I hope it does with you too. Good luck to you miss.

Answer 5

The extra fiber is probably causing all the gas. Frankly, you seem like you might have a problem that we non-experts should not try to solve.

Health insurance or not, you should see a doctor.

Answer 6

Oh wow, that sounds painful. You really need to see a doctor. Even though you have no insurance and it might be a bit expensive, it's worth getting the help..

Answer 7

Too much fiber might the the cause. Try beano for the gas. Good luck.

Answer 8

If you introduce too much fibre into your diet too quickly you may end up constipated, and it will give you wind.

See a doctor.
