I wonder if, given that our intestines can absorb gasses into our blood stream, if that also means we readily absorb our farts into our blood stream as well? The chemical composition of them could be having effects on your whole system maybe?

The answer is probably yes and they eventually get exhaled through the lungs or metabolized by various tissues. Gives whole new meaning to 'carrying the fart' though.


"Better out than in" might hold some weight if so.
