Does flying make a person more flattulant?

Question

***assuming the person does NOT eat any airplane food?***

Answer 1

Yes.



Flying can cause many travelers to experience uncomfortable intestinal gas, which in turn can lead to flatulence. Perhaps it's the higher prssure in the intestnal tract and the lower cabin pressure that makes this happen. On my last flight, a sleeping man behind me farted his way to our destination. Boy was that foul...



They even sell a product to help people who suffer from this embarassing problem- The Flatulence Filter-

Answer 2

MOST Definitely! Having been in an altitude chamber twice, the smell in there is enough to knock u on your A**. As atmospheric pressure decreases, trapped gasses expand inside your body. You notice this very easily in "ear popping" as the cabin altitude is raised during climbout. Once at cruise, although the aircraft is probably over 32,000 feet high, inside the cabin the pressure is kept somewhere between 5000 to 8000 feet above sea level. Now all the gases in your body have expanded, then when nearing destination the cabin is lower to the expected landing airports altitude. Now these expanded gases must go somewhere as the pressure is again increased.

Answer 3

wow..samsung qatar..thats the dumbest answer i've ever heard



number 1.) hypoxia can cause brain damage..but luckily..thats what that lovely pressurization thing prevents



number 2.) pilots are forced to retire at 60 from the airlines...but they can fly all they want for recreation

Answer 4

No it doesn't. Flatulence is only by our digestive system, flying does nothing to that other than make some people feel queezy.

Answer 5

It can cause brain damage that is why pilot retire at about 40
