Does gas which is leaving an inflamed rectum 'sound' different from gas which is leaving a healthy rectum?

Um, in my completely non-scientific experience, it is often louder, as is the pre-gas-pass rumble.

I think yes, but hard to describe how. Ok, strange but for me it seems when all is well the gas seems like it comes up from higher up and sounds deeper where it is more high pitched and shorter bursts when rectum is inflamed. This is a good and hilarious question but I sure wish I didn't know about this!

Before I had my surgery, my sounded like carpet bombing. It was horrible and painful.

The louder it is, usually the healthier I am hahahaha.

If it's quiet and short, usually something blocking the way (inflammation or soft stool).

Great question

LOL...yes, interesting question.

I find when I'm flaring, my gas is more difficult to expel and kind of disappears in the rectum rather than having food flow-through.
