What Your Farts Say About Your Health | Dr. Janine?

Your farts can tell you if your body is happy or not, just like a smile tells you someone is glad.

Farts are gases that come out of your bottom, and they're made from food you eat and the tiny helpers in your tummy called bacteria. These bacteria work hard to break down your food, kind of like a team of little chefs cooking inside you.

If your farts are smelly, that means the bacteria cooked something stinky, like onions or beans. If they're loud, it might be because lots of gas built up in your tummy, like when you blow up a balloon and then let it go all at once!

Sometimes, if you have too many farts, it can mean your body is working hard to process something new, kind of like when you eat too much candy and feel sick.

So next time you pass gas, think of it as a funny message from inside your tummy telling you how it’s feeling! Your farts can tell you if your body is happy or not, just like a smile tells you someone is glad.
