Hey guys.
This is kind of a funny/gross question, but bear with me because ive wondered about this forever haha.  What does it mean when your farts kinda burn when they come out?? Like, how can you have burning air? I dont get it.  Another question...what does it mean when they smell like sulphur and are accompanied by cramps, and then sometimes diarrhea?? The sulphur smell is what confuses me. Sorry about the weird topic! lol

Blondie, sometimes my poots burned, but I think that was because of having the presence of bile in my intestines all the time.

Can't say they smelled like sulphur, but I know when I had gb attacks, my diarrhea sure could stink.

my little brother used to get sulphur farts and burps--he had girardia.... any chance you do?

take care of yourself!

what would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Hmm..I dont think I have girardia but my dad gets the sulphur poots too just without the cramping. He says if he eats anything with sulfites or things like raisins he gets them. So maybe its just a byproduct???

I knew of a girl once that would light her farts for fun. I understand it sent out quite a flame. So, don't take those farts too lightly. They are combustible!
