A member asked:
Do you lose weight when you pass gas? and if so, would this be an effective method to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No-gas doesn't weigh: Passing gas will not affect weight. Gas production is due to the fermentation of dietary elements by bacteria in the GI tract. Sometimed there is an overgrowth of bacteria that may cause this. The use of probiotics (over the counter) may help minimize such overgrowth.
