Massage Therapy for Abdominal,
Stomach Flatulence and Rumbling Bowel
Flatulence, commonly referred to as 'farting', is
caused by gas in the bowel. Ordinarily, the
intestines produce between 500 and 2, 000mls of gas,
which is passed out of the anus at regular
intervals. The gas, or 'flatus', consists of a
number of gases including methane, nitrogen and
carbon dioxide. The varying smell depends on the
ratio of gases, which is influenced by the foods we
eat. Flatus is generated by swallowed air,
digestion, high fibre foods and the by-products of
intestinal bacteria. Some digestive system
disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, can
produce excess gas.
