Dear Cecil:
My mother has always told me that the real way to spell relief is f-a-r-t. I have always been a person closely attuned to what is truly natural in myself and others and would appreciate an answer to a problem that has haunted me since childhood.
If gas pains are caused by intestinal gas, then how come I never feel better when I fart? All I ever feel is embarrassed.

This thread is gonna stink...
The Straight Dope was a funny column.
Toot!
She must be a grass eater.
Oh good grief....
Beans, beans
Good for your heart
The more you eat
The more you fart
The more you fart
The better you feel
Eat beans at every meal
Yeah, but what about Dingell-Norwood, huh?
Someday I’m going to have to make a deathbed confession to my wife that she never did do that loudly in her sleep.
Cant say if this will help “Lauren,” but I think its a good product. Hard drinking freepers should be excited by the reference to: “over-consumption of alcohol.”

Its available in other places. Product information:
“Digestive Aid”
“As we age, hydrochloric acid and digestive enzyme secretion both decline; there is a natural need to replenish the body’s digestive enzymes. Add to that the many additional factors - poor eating habits, inadequate chewing, “eating on the run,” and over-consumption of alcohol - that contribute to digestive problems. Essential Enzymes™ is highly effective because it is a Bio-Aligned™ formula that contains a wide array of enzymes that break down proteins, fats, milk sugars, fiber, and carbohydrates in a wide pH range. It aids the body’s natural digestive process, maximizing the body’s utilization of the nutrients in the diet while decreasing digestive discomforts. Essential Enzymes™ is now available in convenient blister packs that can be used for meals outside the home. Each capsule contains 500 mg of an all-vegetarian, broad spectrum blend of digestive enzymes”
My daughter has a bad GI tract problem and this stuff helps.
This thread shows promise.
Never fart in a smart car.

Is this out of “Ask the Imam”?
Dear whoever wrote this drivel letter: Find a freakin’ bathroom, close door, rip one, leave, wash hands and get back to work. What’s so fisking hard to figure out about this?
ABSOLUTELY! See here what happens when natural functions are shut down!
