Why do I have gas (Flatulence)?
* Everyone has flatulence.
* We call it gas, but it's called Flatulence.
* Flatulence is the gas accumulated in the lower digestive tract (colon) and gas passed through the rectum is called flatus.
* Burping or passing flatus through the rectum is normal.
* It is rare for a person to have too much flatulence.
* Most people "produce" about 1 to 3 pints of flatulence a day.
* Most people "pass" flatus about 14 times a day (ranging between 3 and 40 times), depending on their diet.
* "Fizzy" liquids can give you flatulence.
* Foods that produce flatulence in one person may not cause flatulence in another.
* Carbohydrates produce more flatulence than fats, and proteins.
* Most of the time flatulence is odorless.
* When there is "odor" it comes from hydrogen sulfide made by hundreds of harmless and normal bacteria in the large intestine (colon).
