If you hold in a fart too long “it can be reabsorbed into your blood circulation and breathed out when you exhale”.

Healthline also explained on its site there was limited scientific evidence that holding in farts could cause several health issues. But it stated that in the short-term, holding in a fart can cause immediate pain, discomfort, bloating, indigestion and heartburn

“What’s more, as the pressure builds, so may your stress levels, making it even more uncomfortable and less likely you’ll be able to hold in a fart,” it explained.


Prof Collins explained one study found that the smelliest farts were due to sulphur-containing gases.

“This was confirmed in a study of 16 healthy adults who were fed pinto beans and lactulose, a non-absorbable carbohydrate that gets fermented in the colon. The odour intensity of flatus samples was evaluated by two judges,” she said.

“The good news was that in a follow-up experiment, the researchers identified that a charcoal-lined cushion was able to help quash the smell of the sulphur gases.”


How does one become a judge of fart samples? How much does it pay??!!
