To better understand the physiology of colonic gas production, each flatus passage of 16 subjects over a 4-h period was analyzed by gas chromatography for N2, O2, H2, CO2, CH4, and for odoriferous sulfur-containing gases. Appreciable intraindividual and enormous interindividual variability was observed, indicating that each gas passage reflected the interaction of highly variable liberation and/or removal mechanisms. The predominant flatus gas was CO2, H2, and N2 in seven, six, and three subjects, respectively. Gases produced intraluminally (H2, CO2, and CH4) comprised approximately 74% of flatus, and rapid CO2 and H2 productions were responsible for high passage rates. A positive correlation between flatus H2 and CO2 suggested that CO2, like H2, mainly was a bacterial product. Whereas methanogens and H2S-producing bacteria usually are mutually exclusive in feces, CH4 and H2S did not negatively correlate, indicating coexistence of both organisms in the colon. We conclude that analysis of flatus composition provides a novel means of assessing colonic physiology, particularly ongoing bacterial metabolism throughout the unperturbed colon.

A fart is composed of many gases, predominantly methane with some Hydrogen sulphide, Ammonia, and water vapour. each and all of the gases are produced from decomposing count on your bowels, a super variety of the situation is produced from carbon, sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen (ie. organic and organic count). as a result that's basically logical that the gases could be alongside with properly.

I really don't know but I suspect that it would relate to the chemical composition of the food you ate.

there is methane gas in a fart, but not sure about the other gases

the same thing that's in a burp just lower in the intestine- the gas your body has to expell b/c it can't be digested.
