Put differently, do our farts pollute?
Are the "silent but deadly" ones really that bad for the environment?
What psychological and psychosocial factors are involved with farting?
What do our olfactory senses tell us about a person, or even about ourselves and the way we feel?
What do the fart sounds tell us about a person, or even about ourselves and the way we react?
Everybody "breaks wind," so why are we seriously that disgusted when we hear and/or smell a fart?
Do our taste buds also pick up the fumes?
These are the morbid questions that kept me up last night. I laughed at these thoughts, but at the same time, I felt depressed because I'm dealing with these strange age-related changes. I can no longer enjoy the same foods anymore, and it's not always because of tummy aches. I cannot enjoy the same foods because they produce more gas than I've ever thought possible!
Psychologically, I'm affected by these changes, and the smells. My goodness! I don't feel like a woman anymore. I feel like this used-up whoopi cushion. Yes, I have IBS, which is supposedly related to my PTSD, but my gosh, why the flatulence? Is it really that bad?
Yes, I tell myself. It stinks!

I wish that I knew. I do enjoy reading embarrassing horror stories about passing gas.
