No: Flatulence containing methane gas, which results from byproducts of digestion from normal bacterial flora in the gastrointestinal tract. The temperature of the gas correlates with the body temperature, and is flammable. This is a reason why you can light a match, causing combustion utilizing the methane gas from the flatulence, which is not advisable.
