Thread: Pain and Depression

Sometimes it is gas, sometimes it is the activity of the colon. If it goes away when you fart or burp you can be pretty sure the gas is setting off the symptoms (usually from distending the GI tract, not because it does anything to damage you). Noise is from the activity of the colon. Now sometimes different contents may make it a bit noisier than others, but the noise is from the activity. It should always be making at least a tiny bit of...

I was reading that not getting enough fiber can allow for small intestinal bacteria overgrowth. I get the idea that most gas is produced in the colon from bacteria breaking down soluble fiber. Perhaps getting more insoluble fiber and less of the soluble fiber might help.

Hi Ernie Good Luck with your exams.

It could be something that you are eating that is making flatulence worse.It is trial and error sometimes to find out what causes symptoms.

I tend to overlook smaller (just annoying as opposed to debilitating) symptoms and try to just ignore them. I know full well No One has a perfect body, everyone has things that annoy them and I'm no different. It is all in one's perspective.
