A member asked:

Everytime i laugh i fart, the harder i laugh the more i do it, even if i'm not gassy. any reason for this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Gas: The gas is present in your colon even if you don't feel it. When you laugh you create a pressure that overcomes your anal sphincter's ability to keep things inside.
