Silly question - gas

I think it's because of gravity and the small intestine and colon kept it moving south but now if it's not released it goes back up until it finds a way out by being pushed back down again.feels great to finally  fart it out.but I find anything that comes from a cow causes it and probably climate change as well.what even are cows I dont hear of any in the wild.

I experience the same, sometimes people think it's talking!

No question is silly hon, each question is important, that is how we learn

I believe Chook is right, In addition to his answer: the colon absorbs a lot of gas, since we do not have our colons, we are not absorbing as much gas as we use to, creating more gas in the end.

Humm I didn’t know the colon absorbs gas. Good to know. All good stuff- thanks Guys!

I should also mention my nephew joked that we should put the karaoke microphone to my stomach one day just to see how it would sound amplified hahah! That would be funny!

Might play Ramble on by Led Zep.

You guys are soo funny!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

Your welcome! And yeah since we do not have a colon, that is the reason why our gas is so loud like a fog horn! LOL!

I have the same issue! My coworkers can hear it from across the room. So embarrassing It makes my entire abdomen sore if I can’t get to the bathroom pretty quickly.

Yeah I'm finding gas is my biggest issue ,feels so sore sometimes.maybe need to take more loperamide.

My absolute favorite time for those sounds was during yoga sessions, preferrably during the final relaxation in complete silence when everyone could hear perfectly.

Dimeticone doesn't help me so much, and I don't want to take loperamide during daytime as it may worsen digestion when the bowel is paralyzed, causing even more bacteria growth and gas.

What troubles me is that I can't pass gas 'on the run' when walking or sitting, there is always fluid with the stool. Even when going to the toilet there is gas remaining inside. I need to lie down afterwards when possible to get it out.

My take down area is enlarged/dialated and doesn’t have peristalsis any longer. Above it is fine and below it is fine......but it makes for a ton of strange sensations and noises. It has to completely liquify to eventually get through. The gas is horrific and painful. But tomorrow is another day. I have a special needs son and I work full time too so no time for sickness here. Mindset is important for me. I just eat small meals and take rx vitamins to keep me going. Better than I have been in a LONG time! The divorce helped too......

I do not think you should be embarrassed for something that is apart of you

I have a pouch vagina fistula. There is an upside to everything! I don't have to worry about getting to a washroom or lying down to pass gas. It blows right though the fistula. Oh lucky me. I have absolutely no control over it and it is horribly embarrassing sometimes but at least I don't often develop those horrible back up gas pains!

Oh dear- so sorry to hear that! I guess you’re looking on the bright side! I hope it’s resolved soon!
