Not : Inguinal hernia is not a cause of gas. Gas is caused by your diet. www.drlugo.com.

No, but: Gas travelling through intestines that are herniated could be painful. Often however, the intestines are not involved, and only abdominal fat is herniated through the hole on the abdominal wall (hernia). Hope this helps!
