Although farting may not be elegant, everyone will fart, and it is unavoidable. Usually, after people eat food into their stomachs, it is digested and absorbed in the stomach, producing some harmful gases. At this point, the gas is expelled, which is commonly known as farting. So, what should women do if they fart during late pregnancy?
Late pregnancy flatulence in women may be related to poor gastrointestinal health. It is recommended to improve diet, adjust dietary nutrition, avoid greasy, spicy, and stimulating foods, and eat more foods rich in fiber, protein, and other nutrients to promote gastrointestinal health and alleviate flatulence. If women find themselves frequently farting, it may be due to consuming too many high fiber foods, such as potatoes, desserts, etc. Therefore, women should control their food intake and avoid eating too many high fiber foods.
Secondly, in late pregnancy, women's flatulence tastes like rotten eggs, which may be due to consuming too many protein foods, causing food to stay in the stomach for a long time and producing acrylamide. And acrylamide is the cause of the odor emitted by the human body. So although women need to consume protein after pregnancy, they only need to consume appropriate protein and eat more light and easily digestible foods.
In addition, in the early stages of pregnancy, women may experience digestive problems such as nausea and morning sickness due to the increase in estrogen levels in their bodies, which can inhibit gastrointestinal function. However, when the hormones in women's bodies tend to stabilize, these symptoms will gradually disappear, so there is no need to worry too much. Women should not only pay attention to their diet and health, but also exercise more to stimulate gastrointestinal peristalsis, which is beneficial to their physical health and reduces the frequency of farting.
