Medical Conditions that May Cause Unwanted Gas

While flatulence is generally considered socially unacceptable, it is a part of life and a sign of a healthy body and diet.

Flatulence occurs when a food does not break down completely in the stomach and small intestine. As a result the food makes it to the large intestine in an undigested state.

Interesting facts about gas:

• Most of us pass from as little as one cup to as much as one half gallon per day.
• The average person expels gas 14 times per day. (ranging from 3 to 40 times)
• Most of the gas is made up of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane.
• Smelly gas is typically hydrogen sulphide which is produced by bacterial fermentation in the colon. This would be the sulfur smell of rotten eggs.
