Yes, when you eat you break up and digest food, when this occurs, gas can be created from either the breakdown of food, or the action of bacteria. This takes place in the intestines, and thus the gas comes out of your anus. A burb is the result of gases created in the stomach...
Chemical reactions break down the food using enzymes and acids, and along with various bacteria that live in your gut, they produce gas as a waste product to some of the reactions.

Flatulence occurs when a food does not break down completely in the stomach and small intestine. As a result, the food makes it into the large intestine in an undigested state. For example, if you are "lactose intolerant," it means that you lack an enzyme (lactase) in your intestine -- the enzyme that breaks lactose apart into two sugar molecules so they can enter the bloodstream. Without lactase, lactose passes undigested through the stomach and small intestine and arrives in the large intestine.
There, the lactose meets up with billions of hungry bacteria -- the natural "intestinal fauna" we all have in our large intestine. These bacteria are happy to digest lactose. They produce a variety of gases, in much the way that yeast produces carbon dioxide to leaven bread. Gases such as methane, hydrogen and hydrogen sulfide are common gases that these bacteria produce. Hydrogen sulfide is the source of the odor we associate with flatulence.
Certain foods produce more flatulence than others because they contain more indigestible carbohydrates than others. Beans, as you might expect, are particularly well-endowed in this regard.

It is a kind of gas release from your intestine where food not thoroughly digests fermented and produce gas and finally fart out.

You are what you eat.
You eat greasy, salty, spicy food you'll end up with a serious case of flatuance. (The Real name of farting)
You eat healthy, no disgusting odors will come out of your (you know)
Everybody flatuate, men, women, animals, Everyone, it just comes down to what you eat to get the noises or the smell that characterize flatuance.

When our stomach processes food we eat, well that creates gas, you can try the gas by farting and lighting a match, see what happens

the acid from the food in your belly is breaking down causing a build up of methane. Then when it gets built up too big it has to release if you hold it you will get a belly ache and cramps. So I say "better out then in!" Ok well Shrek said that first...I copied!

Gas is produced when food are being digested... The gas is sent out of the body through mouth or through A$$hole... The gas when escaping out produce sound...
