Is Farting Healthy?
Farting is a normal, healthy body process that tells people their digestive systems are working. When a person doesn't pass gas or holds in their farts for long periods, it can cause serious discomfort. The longer farts are held in, the worse the gas pains are likely to be.
Gas pains aren't the only problem that may occur if farts are held in or trapped. People can also become bloated and feel queasy.
