To release toxins from our bodies.

Sometimes the structure of the food we eat is so complex that stomach acids alone are not good enough. The body also uses bacteria to break it down. The gas is a byproduct of the bacteria waste (same reason as to why yeast makes bread rise). The body needs to release this gas & farts. Which is not the same as a burp which is trapped air in the stomach.

Because otherwise they'd explode.
Seriously. Gas has to be expelled somehow, and biologically, if it's above your stomach, it goes north (i.e. a burp) and if it's already left your stomach and gone into your intestines, it heads south. Sometimes you can feel the air move thru your intestines.

Its not air in the intestines. As we digest our food a chemical reaction happens and it produces diffrent types of gases. The bacteria in our stomachs plays a role to as well as carbonated drinks such as soda.
