Synopsis

To ‘Air' is Human, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Intestinal Gas is a uniquely informative, entertaining, and well-illustrated volume. Extensive knowledge about the physiology and science of the digestive process and intestinal gas is clearly explained. It covers everything you ever wanted to know about the fart, burp, and bloat but were too embarrassed to ask. Intestinal gas has been produced and released by virtually every human who has ever lived, yet very few people have been provided with the knowledge that can offer comfort and relief. This volume is overflowing with practical information, fascinating facts, surprising trivia, and tasteful humorous insight about this universal phenomenon. The knowledge gained will contribute to your enhanced health and comfort, and sharing this wisdom with others can leave a lasting impression on friends and family. "In Dr. Joseph Weiss' book he provides an informative and entertaining approach to sharing insights about our digestive system and wellbeing." Deepak Chopra, MD
