farting is still considered taboo by some people. especially if the smell and sound of the magical gas comes out when we are face to face with parents or important people. Surely words suddenly show that you are not polite. Then finally farting was held to death so as not to come out.

fart is one of the health markers and is good for intestinal health. Resisting fart can cause disease, one of which is diverticulitis.

lisa Ganjhu, an osteopath doctor and clinical assistant professor of medicine and gastroenterology at NYU Langone Medical Center in New York, told Women Health that farting can be caused by bacteria or food fermentation in the stomach that triggers gas and raises the levelacidity.

"Problems like lactose and gluten intolerance can cause us to often fart.even though the stomach can receive milk and wheat, vegetables such as broccoli and asparagus which contain fructan, carbohydrates that are rather difficult to digest can cause the body to produce a lot of gas, "said Ganjhu.



if not removed, the gas produced by the body will accumulate in the digestive tract (for example in the large intestine) and be pushed upwards to cause bloating and discomfort in the center of the body.

What is Diverticulitis?
according to the UK Health National Health Service (NHS) website, diverticulitis is a digestive condition that affects the large intestine (intestine). It occurs when the diverticula is inflamed or infected. diverticula are small protrusions or pockets that can develop in the lining of the intestine at old age.

Article "Hepatic-portal venous gas in acute colonic diverticuitis" (PDF, 1998) written by AZielke, along with two of his colleagues, revealed a case of diverticulitis in a 71-year-old woman who complained of suffering from pain in the abdomen accompanied by fever for two weeks. After a partial colonoscopy, it turned out that this woman had diverticulitis in the sigmoid colon.

"On physical examination, the patient has a fever (38.4o C). Abdominal tenderness (pain when the abdomen is pressed) appears on the lower left side of the stomach. Normal liver function tests, like other laboratory tests, except for leukocyte levels which are at the level of 13.2 g / l. an ultrasound study of the abdomen showed swelling measuring 6x5 cm in the sigmoid mesocolon, stretching towards the side of the abdominal wall, "said A. Zielke et al.

Zielke et al. Stated that patients were finally found to have complications of diverchulitis with mesocolic swelling and HPVG.

causes of diverticulitis


Based on the article entitled "Acute Diverticulitis" written by L.B. Ferzoco, et al. (PDF, 1998), diverticulitis generally affects the elderly. However, symptomatic diverticulitis develops in 20 percent of sufferers.


"Diverticulitis patients aged less than 50 years reach 20 percent. Diverticulitis is more dangerous if it occurs in younger patients. Diagnosis is generally late. "Recent studies have shown that up to 2/3 of young patients can be free from recurrence of disease with 9 years of non-surgical therapy," said Frezoco et al.

According to the NHS, one of the factors that cause diverticulitis is age. Older, the walls of the large intestine will weaken. diverticula can form due to hard stool pressure when passing through the intestine.

In addition, a diet and a lack of fiber can make diverticular disease worse. Because the fiber can help stool to become softer, so that the pressure on the intestinal wall decreases.

smoking and obesity can also trigger this disease. Genetic factors can also influence the appearance of diverticulitis is the gene.

Still according to L.B. Fercozo et al in "Acute Diverticulitis" (1998), there are several healing methods that can be taken. in early symptoms, patients can be cured with outpatient treatment for 7-10 days. During this period, patients received antimicrobial therapy, including treating anaerobic microorganisms such as ciprofloxacin and metronidazole.

then if you already know the danger of holding back fart do you still want to do it? I hope you don't do this, but it's good that you take out this miraculous gas not in front of many people. Thank you, hope it's useful, healthy greetings
