	Flatulence (Gas)
		Flatulence is the state of having excessive stomach or intestinal gas.
		History has numerous anecdotal accounts of flatulence, including Hippocrates himself professing, “Passing gas is necessary to well-being.” The Roman Emperor Claudius equally decreed that “all Roman citizens shall be allowed to pass gas whenever necessary.” Unfortunately for flatulent Romans, however, Emperor Constantine later reversed this decision in a 315 BC edict.
		In the mid-1800s flatulence took center stage with the French entertainer Joseph Pugol (“Le Petomane”).
