This Sunday we will discuss "GAS." We will revue the passage of food and water, enzymes secreted, time en route etc. We reported the estimated flatulence/day at 14 last Sunday but more recent studies show it averages about 17-21 X/daily and as high as 141 X in the elderly. Most swallowed air is belched when standing and pushed into the duodenum when lying down, thus the need to burp babies vertically. Public gas passage in ancient Rome resulted in imprisonment whereas Benj. Franklin invented a "flatulence sweetener" which was never patented. What causes diverticulosis? Tune in should be fun............
