4. Abundant flatulencies
Flatulencies are normal in a health individual, because the chemical and biological processes to which our food is subjected to during its digestion do emit as a side product certain forms of gas. The bacteria that live inside our bowels help us digest the food by eating and breaking down some of the most difficult molecules to process and help us absorb them and generate waste that is later eliminated with the rest of the feces during bowel movements. Some of these subproducts are gaseous; namely, hydrogen and methane.
When the intestinal flora and the bowel movements are unaffected, the volume of flatulencies will remain normal as well. However, an affectation of the bowel movements could increase the volume of flatulencies produced. In the case of irritable bowel syndrome, the movement of the content of the large intestine is affected because of the way our intestinal muscles work.
