Introduction
The
colon is home to a myriad number of different bacteria. This dense,
thriving mixture of over 1,000 different species is a true living health
laboratory, producing many health benefits if it is treated and fed
properly (Introduction to Prebiotics).
Many of these bacteria within the colon are gas formers. This is normal
and 99% of these colon gases are harmless and odorless.
