What is the definition or description of: gas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several meanings: "gas" is, of course, a phase of matter - the air we breathe is a gas. In a medical context, "gas" can refer to having too much gas in the bowels, causing burping, or cramping in the belly. It also can refer to flatulence, as in "passing gas".
