    Bad news for fart holders

    Apparently holding in your farts may be bad for your health.
    You may instead breathe out the fart in your breath

    What foods make you fart?
    And do you hold in your farts in a public place?

    Green vegetables tend to make me have a bit of flatulence..

    Holding a fart in won’t just leave you feeling uncomfortable — it could end up in you breathing the fart out your mouth instead.

    That’s according to Professor Clare Collins, a nutrition and dietetics expert at the University of Newcastle.

    Writing for The Conversation, she said holding in trapped wind could cause abdominal distension, “with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath”.

    “Holding on too long means the build-up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart,” Prof Collins added.

    Meanwhile, she warned it could also lead to a condition called diverticulitis but pointed out the evidence wasn’t clear.

    That’s where small pouches develop in the gut lining and become inflamed.

    The research found people farted more after a big meal and less so at night.

    Prof Collins said the gases produced in the intestines come from different sources.

    “It can be from swallowing air,” she said. “Or from carbon dioxide produced when stomach acid mixes with bicarbonate in the small intestine.

    “Or gases can be produced by bacteria that are located in the large intestine.”

    The smelliest farts were due to sulphur-containing gases, one study found.

    Sixteen healthy adults were fed pinto beans and lactulose, and the smell was evaluated by two judges — yes really, poor things!

    The good news was in a follow-up experiment the researchers found a charcoal-lined cushion “helped quash the smell of the sulphur gases”.

    And last but not least in the fart news stakes, Prof Collins said jet setters were very much in the firing line.

    “Pressurised cabins on aeroplanes mean you’re more likely to pass flatus due to the gas volume expanding at the lower cabin pressure compared to being on the ground,” she said.

    Breaking wind is an entirely natural response to the body’s digestion of food.

    so.... a burp?

    i don't even let myself do it in front of my family, never had anything happen to me because of holding it. held them in all through school, most of the day too, no issue.

    i got a bit of lactose intolerance, so... bad times any time i have a bowl of cereal or glass of milk. cheese doesn't bother me though.

    Better to fart and feel the shame than not to fart and feel the pain.

    Good thing I never hold them in. I don't care where I am, I always let it out. I do have to hold my shit in often though, can't let that out whenever I want.

    While farting in the car turning up the heat and locking the doors will get you killed.

    It says just gas is reabsorbed, so no fecal matter.

    I don't fart in public, only to save the other humans around me though, at home I have no mercy

    When I first met my first girlfriend and she stayed the night, I held them in, and bloody hell I had cramps like crazy the next day. The things you do for love...

    Also, this:

    yeah, some guy on this show had it happen, "monsters inside me" it's called. had a blockage in his bowel or something, even got sepsis i think.

    what caused it for your mom?

    Same as that guy, a blockage in her bowel, caused by scar tissue from being operated on multiple times for previous blockages. Pretty much a vicious circle (the blockages, not vomiting poop, that only happened one time).

    damn. i hope she's doing ok now days.

    that show made me so paranoid, so many people getting fucking broken pieces of grill brushes stuck in their guts and nearly dying, or those brain eating amoebas.

    yeah it's been some years now since her last blockage. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

    hopefully, a lot of bad shit can come about from that kind of stuff.

    i've always been extra scared of that kind of stuff because i don't handle embarrassment and being open well(that's a severe understatement, and i'm not just trying to be jokey), and it'd be mortifying if something broke to the point i had to get a colostomy bag.
