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).
