What is flatulence?

                            What is flatulence?

Flatulence is the word used to describe the release of gases from human body. They can be loud , silent but stinky in smell !
Flatulence is a combination of gases ( nitrogen , carbon dioxide , oxygen , methane and hydrogen sulfide ) that travels from stomach to anus of a person.

What makes the gas stinky? 

It is the hydrogen sulfide gas. This gas contains sulfur which causes the smelly odour. The more sulfur rich is our food , the more stinky flatulence will come out !
When a man eats too much food or swallows too much air  , then the human digestive system can not digest easily , gas becomes trapped in the stomach. The only way for this excess gas to exit the body is through anus.
It is an involuntary action and the respective person must not be blamed for that !
