| 0:00.0 | So today we're going to talk about how to get rid of bloating in abdominal distension. |
| 0:26.2 | All right. The major source of bloating in your gut is microbial fermentation. What does that mean? |
| 0:33.8 | Fermentation. Fermentation is simply the chemical breakdown of a carbohydrate by a microbe, |
| 0:41.2 | and the microbes are releasing enzymes to help break down carbohydrates. Specifically fiber, |
| 0:49.4 | but also other carbohydrates and sugars too. But these microbes have the ability to break down |
| 0:56.1 | whereas our bodies do not have the ability to do that. So these microbes can break down these |
| 1:01.4 | undigestible fibers and turn them into some interesting things. One is it turns it into a small |
| 1:09.0 | chain fatty acids. So these microbes are turning fiber into a type of fat. Very interesting. |
| 1:17.5 | Also lactic acid, also methane gas, and hydrogen gas, which by the way, this is very explosive. |
| 1:28.7 | Long time ago, they used man-at-all in some type of device to help certain people with constipation. |
| 1:36.6 | Apparently, there's been situations of intradaminal explosions with somehow sparking some of |
| 1:43.5 | these gases and creating a terrible effect. So now they don't use the man-at-all in that device |
| 1:49.4 | anymore. Thank goodness. Okay. CO2 is another byproduct, and then nitrogen gas. And by the way, |
| 1:56.4 | these gases right here have no odor. But this one does. Hydrogen sulfide, and there's several |
| 2:03.0 | other gases too that will produce a very bad odor. An average person actually produces between |
| 2:08.5 | 202,000 milliliters of gas every single day from this process. So one of the enzymes that these |
| 2:15.8 | microbes make is called cellulase to break down cellulose because that's a fiber. So anytime it says |
| 2:22.6 | ACE, that means it's an enzyme. So in this case, an enzyme is something that actually breaks something |
| 2:28.5 | down. And most of this process of fermentation happens in the large bowel. But if you have a |
| 2:33.7 | condition where the microbes are actually in your small intestine, it's called SIBO, small intestinal |
| 2:39.0 | bacterial overgrowth, then you're going to have a big problem because you're going to get |
| 2:42.6 | fermentation in the wrong place, and that can create a lot of abdominal distension. So there's a |
