Flatulence is nothing more than a byproduct of digestion. There are bacteria in your intestines that assisst you in the breakdown of numerous chemical components, making them into substances that the body can use. When they do this, there is a by product of gas (usually methane gas, which is actually flamable for you Jackass fans!) and the build up of this causes flatulence (farts)

It generally means you have eaten your food in the wrong order, and the things that digest and ferment the fastest are on top of something that takes a good deal of time to digest, Thus you have a case of gas. It also can be caused when you have gone to the bathroom but did not totally evacuate all of the stool. sometimes gets stuck in the inner sphincter of your rectum causing gas to build up. ( to much data )?
