Flatulence or buildup of gas is a very common digestive system issue that can lead to abdominal discomfort. Usually, one passes gas 20 times a day, but an unordinary recurrence can be painful, discomfort and embarrassing.

Usually, one gets rid of gas through the mouth (burping) or anus (flatulence).

The body makes gas in two ways: when you swallow air when you consume food or drink. The swallowed air is usually removed by the burping process. The leftover gas, which is not released by burps, goes into the intestine and is removed as flatulence.

The other time is when the bacteria act on the food to help with digestion.

Undigested food travels from the small intestine to the large intestine. Once it reaches there, the bacteria may act on, producing carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen, which then leave your body.
