It's become so widely accepted that the section on flatulence in the encyclopedic Oxford Companion to the Body is simply titled "Farting." SIGN OF THE TIMES According to the 16th-century English writer John Audrey, the Earl of Oxford farted loudly while bowing deeply to Queen Elizabeth I.The earl was so embarrassed that he went into a self-imposed seven-year exile. Upon his return, the queen welcomed him by saying, "My lord, I had forgot the fart." and three pints of gas a day.

Frequent farting can also be a sign that you're lactose-intolerant (see Excessive Burping, above) or have food allergies. Or it can be an indication of some serious GI conditions such as gallstones, IBS, or IBD. (See A Gurgling Stomach, above.) Excess flatulence may sometimes signal cancer of the esophagus, colon, or rectum. SIGNIFICANT FACT VFor hundreds of years,cases of people bursting into flames for no apparent reason—a phenomenon known as spontaneous combustion—have been reported. Some scientists believe these unfortunate events are the result of static electricity igniting farts.

The urethra is a near-perfect VAGINAL VICISSITUDES VAGINAL FARTS A man may find having a bent or spotted penis embarrassing, but imagine a woman having a farting vagina! This little-discussed sign—medically known as flatus vaginalis—is actually more common than you might think. Vaginal farts are dubbed "queefs" and "varts" in the United States and "fanny farts" in England and Australia (where fanny refers to a woman's vulva rather than her buttocks).

Excessive burping (and farting) can also signal a lactase deficiency (aka lactose intolerance). Lactase is an enzyme necessary to break down lactose in the digestive tract. If this enzyme is missing, many foods, including milk and other dairy products, of which lactose is a major component can't be digested properly and the end result is gas. Burping a lot is also a telltale sign of a food allergy or an upset stomach.

Excessive Burping and Frequent farting, above), feeling bloated or having a distended stomach are often signs of excess gas. But in the case of bloating, the gas doesn't get released; the result—a swollen belly. In fact, bloating can be a sign of the same conditions—such as lactose intolerance and gastrointestinal disorders—or eating the same foods that cause belching.

Cows will now be required to hold it in, and the Cow Agency of farting Enforcement (CAFE) is being formed as a new division under the Department of Homeland Security. Agents are descending upon Greeley, Colorado to monitor the flatulence of cow herds at this very moment. The only question is: Will the view be any different than their regular jobs?

While farting takes first prize, burping—medically known as eructation— is really just another form of flatulence. For most of us, burping, aka belching, is a benign sign of stomach gas—we're getting rid of excess swallowed air trapped in our digestive systems. Indeed, it's normal to burp 3 or 4 times after a meal. Of course, burping can also be a self-induced sign of wanting to attract attention or gross out others.

Buying in to the hallucination Since when did virtually the entire medical community, the public, the FDA and the press all buy into the Big Pharma hype that says every human action must be chemically assisted? We all need drugs, we're told, to pee, defecate, fall asleep, wake up or get an erection. We need drugs to feel happy, confident, sexy or sane.

That means he was farting on average every 3.4 minutes for four hours. Which brings us to the importance of a "fart chart." Doctors used to call it a "flatographic" record or a "flatulogram." By creating a fart chart, this gentleman was ultimately able to link milk to his flatulence. When he eliminated dairy products from his diet he was able to reduce, though not eliminate, his fartiness. He was also susceptible to foods like brussels sprouts, beans, bacon, raisins, celery, and onions.

Bolin said. "Farting's a normal pan of life. The more fiber you eat, the more gas will be produced, and the more you'll fart. A survey we did sometime ago showed a very nice correlation between increasing fiber and increasing farting in both men and women. By the way, advise your American readers that 'down under' [meaning in Australia] here, we consider the term 'farting' to be as socially acceptable as your term 'flatulence' up there.

Watson's advice and refer to flatulence as farting. Regardless of what you call it, passing gas is not a particularly pleasant pastime. We actually think intestinal GAS stands for Gross And Smelly. But seriously, is there anything more embarrassing than riding to work in a car pool and letting out a noisy, malodorous fart? There's no place to hide, and you can't blame it on the other guy. SPEAKING THE UNSPEAKABLE "This letter is to make it official.

Then omit all dairy products for about five days, and see whether or not your farting frequency falls. If it appears that the situation has improved and you suspect that milk or dairy products are the source of your digestive problems, take another two days to check it out further. Have your usual dinner, then nothing more until the following morning. With your breakfast, be sure to drink a full glass of any kind of milk—the fat content does not matter. If you develop gas, bloating, abdominal cramps, or diarrhea in the next six hours, lactose is very probably the root of your problem.

But farting can be fun—and even profitable! It can also make you famous! Le Petomane was a popular French entertainer at the Moulin Rouge in Paris years ago. His talent lay in his ability to generate unlimited quantities of intestinal gas that he could control with great precision. He delighted his audience by playing, rectally, a number of different tunes, including "La Marseillaise," the French national anthem! But for those of us not interested in making a career of it, excessive abdominal gas is something to be avoided. You can, to a great extent, do so by eating the right food.

I was amused and surprised when reviewing the medical literature on this subject to learn how many studies have been done on virtually every aspect of farting. For example, you wouldn't believe the number of devices there are for measuring and analyzing the gas content of the lowly fart! Some of our most brilliant scientists have worked long and hard to glean the following information that I am certain will be of great interest to you.

It specialized in macrobiotic foods and cooking supplies. We spent hundreds of dollars there on food and equipment to start our new diet. Because we were stocking two kitchens, we needed two of everything.
