Thanks Claire- that's a great article. especially aabout not holding gas in. important to know.

I have a hard time accepting that passing G 10-20x's a day is normal. What is normal? Are most of these normal people undiagnosed celiacs? Yikes!

Don't know the "norm" for passing gas! My grandmother (who just turned 100) has always used the motto "more room out than in" . . . fortunately, that sentiment has not passed down the family tree!

"Walter, the farting dog" sounds as if it is similar to the books "Everyone poops" "Everyone passes gas", etc. I still like the Walter book title better. We call our dog "Count Flatula"

My husband always says--"if ya can't pay the rent, ya gotta get out" or the ever popular--"catch that and paint it green". Classy

One I've heard is "better to fart and bear the shame than not to fart and bear the pain!" haha

The thing that finally made me realize I wasn't normal was I heard the average person passes gas 10 times a day! HELL I do that in less than an hour!

And the average person's gas paassing doesn't smell like a sulfur bed.

There's a sulfur bed in Lassen National Park called "Bumpass Hell" and the joke for awhile is that my farts smelled like that. Pee- ewwwww!

An awful lot of undiagnosed celiacs out there. Now that I am gluten-free I have gone from having constant gas and rumbling tummy to almost never having gas, drinking soda is the only offending culprit now. And I eat lots of beans, broccoli and brussel sprouts! Somehow they don't produce gas if not mixed with GLUTEN.
