We release gas upwardly by belching and downwardly by flatulence. When we swallow air and don’t release it by belching, the air will work its way down and out the rectum. About half the gas passed from the rectum comes from swallowed air.



For the record, normal people pass gas about 10 times each day. Twenty times daily is still considered normal. http://www.livescience.com/health/chewin...00816.html

btw; Dals which we Indians eat fondly are major source of gas. A few yrs back, i had read the news that Tata has developed technology which will free dals of its' gas producing property. Any1 aware, is it in market as yet or not?
