In this Australian publication, answers can be found to the many questions about wind that most are too afraid to ask. It aims to help give a better understanding of the body and of those parts of the gastrointestinal tract that are responsible for those socially unacceptable emissions that are more commonly referred to in the Australian language with a more descriptive term!
Humorous and fact filled, information is given on:
where gas comes from
what it is composed of
why some people produce more gas than others
the differing amounts between men and women
is it harmful to hold on to gas?
foods and their effects in quantity and aroma
gas production when flying, diving and in other situations
Dotted throughout with cartoon sketches, this book is an easy read, provides for a good chuckle and is very enlightening.
