a rather delicate subject

[sjb46]

Since I have been using the cpap I seem to have an unusual amount of gas. Can cpap with its presssure changes cause this? Also is there somewhere that I can sell my unloved masks?

It's not a "delicate" subject around here. It's called "aerophagia".....swallowing/ingesting air. If you go up to the Search line above, and put that word in there, you'll find enough reading to keep yourself busy for as long as is necessary.

Edit: Here's a recent thread about the subject.

There are very few "delicate subjects" around here. Aerophagia isn't one of them. It happens. And the entrapped air will find its' way out from both ends!

The good news is that it is trapped clean air, and NOT methane produced by digestion. There's virtually no odor, regardless of which exit it chooses.

Aerophagia can be entertaining; especially for grandkids.

There really isn't much that is considered "delicate" around here.

You pretty much run it up the flag pole and it will be:
saluted
mooned
praised
cursed
laughed at
criticized
ignored
demonized
testimonialized
affirmed
condemned
corroborated
denounced
and
forgotten.



..........until the next post.

Air beds to toots......it's all good.

An old man went to the doctor and the doctor asked him how he was doing. The old man said I pass gas all the time but it is silent and has no smell. It really isn't a problem because no one knows about it but me. In fact I have passed gas several times just while I have been talking to you. The doctor is writing notes in the file and says the first thing we need to do is put new batteries in your hearing aid and then we will see what we can do to help your sense of smell.
