Similarly, what happens if you fart in public? Trying to hold it in leads to a build up of pressure and major discomfort. A build up of intestinal gas can trigger abdominal distension, with some gas reabsorbed into the circulation and exhaled in your breath. Holding on too long means the build up of intestinal gas will eventually escape via an uncontrollable fart.
Also asked, is it rude to pass gas in public?
Passing gas is a normal body function. That said, in American culture, it is considered rude behavior in polite company. If you are the person with gas you should try to hold it if possible until you can get to the restroom, outdoors, or at least away from others.
Why do I fart in public?
It's common for people to feel as though they fart more than others, but that's usually untrue. Most of the gas you pass is swallowed air. You swallow air throughout the day while eating and drinking. Other gases are produced in your digestive tract as the food you eat is broken down.
