The Gas We Pass

Before reading this blog please know that todays post may stink.  For the past ten years or so I would say that I pass an above average amount of gas.  Everyone from coworkers to friends have commented at the amount.  One friend suggests that "my farts are insulin laced" his explanation is that the insulin going in to my body has an odd reaction with my body and causes a large amount of gas.  Coworkers suggest that it is from all of the fruit and healthy food that I eat, but before I started my healthy eating the gas was present.  My wife suggests that I'm a man and don't hold back and that I'm "normal"  we all know that I'm not normal, who writes a blog about passing gas.

A couple of years ago I began to worry about my excessive gas when a close friend/coworker told me to count how many I produce in a day.  When the number was over one hundred in just under eight hours I began to get a little nervous.  I have always wanted to talk to a doctor about my "problem" but how exactly do you bring that up?  "Hey doc, I fart a lot why is that?"  I can't see myself asking that question.  Yesterday I was checking facebook and found this interesting article from Joslin.  The article does not say much about the gas part of things but does give a little information on why I may have this problem.  I also believe that at my next doctors appointment the topic will come up.
