I was wondering, since you gain weight when you expel gas from your body, but then again you are losing the tiny pieces of feces at the same time...thusly, would you gain weight or lose it, or would they cancel each other out?

you loose a very small, insignificant amount of weight
yes, poo air does have a little more weight than regular air, cause of the poo scent particles.
you wouldn't notice the weight difference on any standard scale that we could afford.
I think sci guy is wrong. whether we eat or not, the contents in us make up the weight we record ourselves at, no one ever says I way 156 pounds but only when I don't eat, right?
well, the food is transformed by our body and by the Bactria. remember! you cannot destroy mass or energy, you can transform it.
say turning water into gas, by boiling it. making steam, then you collect ALL of the steam, when the temp settles back down, you will have the exact same amount of water as you had when you started.
here's an interesting example of extremely small weight

Technically, the gas from farting is from the bacteria within the intestines. They are just breaking down the different compounds from food. In my opinion, you are not losing weight nor gaining weight. This is only a gas produced from bacteria and nothing more.
good luck.

♥ this question has been twisting the brains of many generations of scientists from Archimedes to Shomndark; the answer is still ambiguous; Archimedes particularly did a remarkable observation in the bathtub; one of his theorems says: “protect your cubes with your hands lest expelled bubbles tore them off”.
