What does it mean if I have lots and lots of gas and the smell from each fart lingers for 30min. up to an hour

It must be something you are eating - do you eat alot of gassy vegtables like brocolli and cauliflower??? Try changing your diet a little bit and talk to your doctor about this -your stomache could be sensitive to a certain food - are you having heartburn or indegestion??? You could be having ulcers as well which may cause a person to become very gassy

Sounds like gas or maybe constipation.  If you're a woman it could be uterine/ovary related too.

Usually 23 to 24 hours.\nTakes that long for the gases in the body to build up enough to refloat.

not sure, i think its some kind of gas?

-Take your craps naked, the smell won't get onto your clothes.\n-Review your eating habits...lessen the cheese, red meat, chips, beans \n- See a doctor and ask about gastronial intestinal problems\n- drink more water as it helps to flush the system\n- Avoid high caffene stuff like pop and coffee\n- Wear loser clothing around your stomach\n\n  Hope this helps....  :)\n\n PS... It is a normal average for everyone to fart approx 10-15 times a day.  HONEST...ask the doctor.

It really means you are fun and nasty...\nBut basically yes... \nRead the composition here:\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Not all humans produce flatus that contains methane. For example, in one study of the feces of nine adults, only five of the samples contained bacteria capable of producing methane[5]. Similar results are found in samples of gas obtained from within the rectum. The gas released during a flatus event frequently has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats. Flatulence odor can also occur when there is a number of bacteria and/or feces in the anus while being expelled. A small amount of solid or liquid fecal matter in fine particulate aerosol form may also be expelled, and included, along with flatulence.

Certain foods causes a buildup of gases in the stomach. The expulsion of these gasses is what you call a fart.

Fermented food produces different types of fumes, some of which smell. Flatulence contains odorless gases, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, and methane, but it also contains the "oh-so-nasty" hydrogen sulfide, which causes the smell. If you have not noticed by now, some of the aforementioned fumes are flammable, like methane and oxygen, so you can, in fact, burn farts. Yes, you can set them aflame; it is not a myth, and a great way to impress the girls too... you do know I'm joking?\n\nHow much odor is produced also depends on the food you eat. Vegetarians might fart as often as meat-eaters, but their "serenades" do not smell as much because vegetables produce less hydrogen sulfide. The more sulfur rich the foods you eat, the more your farts will stink because bacteria will generate sulfides and mercaptans as they break down the nutrients. Beware: even though cauliflower is a vegetable, it also makes you stinky, so watch out!

yes. A fart is compressed methane extracted from food which you have eaten. Methane is easily combustible. Don't fart near a hot flame

Because fart is gaseous and poop is solid? And gas can be compressed, so more fart than poop can exist in the same amount of space ...

Most fart gas comes from swallowed air and consists largely of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the oxygen having been absorbed by the time it reaches the anal opening. These gases are odorless, although they often pick up other (and more odiferous) components on the way through the bowel. They emerge from the anus in fairly large bubbles at body temperature. A person can often achieve a good sound with these voluminous farts, but they are commonly (but not always!) mundane with respect to odor, and don't feel particularly warm.\n    Another major source of fart gas is bacterial action. Bacterial fermentation and digestion processes produce heat as a byproduct as well as various pungent gases. The resulting bubbles of gas tend to be small, hot, and concentrated with stinky bacterial metabolic products. These emerge as the notorious, warm, SBD (Silent-But-Deadly), often in amounts too small to produce a good sound, but excelling in stench.

well flatulence is something we all experience, it's normal to "fart" 14 to 15 times a day.the smell on it depends on what you eat, a lot of meat makes them stink really bad but vegetables and fruits gives you the silent but deadly ones.

Well what I suggest is eating something that is 1. Well cooked, 2. Smells good, 3. Has either Cheese or a High Sugary Content. It is hard for the body to digest well cooked food so there are lots of waste left so your poop will be larger. You will also have a larger amount of gas created because the body works so hard at digesting it. Also drink cold water before eating. Your body cannot digest cold water. this is a fact. It has to get it up to your internal temperature before it can digest it. So by doing this you kick on your metabolism. Which means the gas factory is primed and pumped when you drop in the first load of fuel. The cheese is because of Lactose. the body doesnt really like it so and it will make you gasy.\n\nAlso Cyfu you should make sure that you have no obstructions in your anal cavity blocking the expelling of farts.

If the burps smell like sulphur (I've heard patients describe that as, "my burps smell like farts"), It usually tht you are having dyspepsia caused byy a virus. This may, or maynot turn into diarrhea in a few days. If it does, drink plenty of fluids and get some rest. You can also try Immodium AD, if, and only if, you get diarrhea. If you have more than 9 diarrhea stools in one day, go to the doctor. If you have diarrhea for more than 5 days, go see your doctor.

if you fart continuously for 8 years, you can create energy enough to make an atomic bomb. So if everybody farted, it would be like a few atomic bombs exploding.

The author of the question does not mean breathing as passing of gas, but flatus, to use its medical name, or to use the vulgar English term, farting.\n\nThe average human releases 0.5 to 1.5 litres (1 to 3 U.S. pints) of flatus in 12 to 25 episodes throughout the day. The primary constituents of flatulence are the non-odorous gases, in descending order of concentration, nitrogen (ingested), oxygen (ingested), methane (produced by anaerobic microbes), carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic microbes or ingested), and hydrogen (produced by some microbes and consumed by others). Odors result from trace amounts of other components (often sulphur containing, see below).\n\nNitrogen is the primary gas released. Methane and hydrogen, lesser components, are flammable, and so flatulence is susceptible to catching fire. Gas released mostly has a foul odor which mainly results from low molecular weight fatty acids such as butyric acid (rancid butter smell) and reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide (rotten egg smell) and carbonyl sulfide that are the result of protein breakdown. The incidence of odoriferous compounds in flatus increases from herbivores, such as cattle, to omnivores to carnivorous species, such as cats.\n\nI've lasted a good ten seconds letting one rip. Having had appendix problems for nine months (a long story, useless health system in the UK, etc.), I found that during that period, my flatus was more stinky than normal. Having had my appendix removed, it returned to normal in terms of odour.\n\nI find that drinking beer tends to produce the worst smelling flatus about twenty hours later.

The quiet effect last until you fart again.
