Gas is a normal result of the foods you eat. As your digestive system does its thing, it makes gas.

Usually, you get rid of gas through your mouth (burping) or through your anus (flatulence). People gas about 20 times a day. It’s an ordinary occurrence, but it can be painful and embarrassing.

Quite an informative post boss. Kudos! How are the returns generally? From your experience, how do you think one would fair if he started such a business places kama Donholm ama Pipeline?
