Is it true old people fart a lot?

Question

Is it true old people fart a lot?

Answer 1

Yes, it is true. The digestive tract isn't as efficient when you get old as it was when you were young.



With any luck, you'll learn from experience that getting old is not for the faint of heart... it's a really rough road to travel and it only gets harder.



Enjoy your youth, make good memories to treasure and be patient with the elderly... you'll be there yourself some day. :)

Answer 2

I don't think it is more prevalent with senior citizens,I believe it is used as an expressive answer to dumb questions by young whippersnappers.



Old Farts Never Die..They Just Smell That Way

Answer 4

Some old people do fart alot because old age causes weaker control of bodily functions.

Answer 5

Yes, it is true.



As incontinence is brought forth by a poor control over the urethral sphincters, old people tend to fart a lot due to a deteriorating control over their anal sphincters.

Answer 6

Us olf folks fart out our arses. Young folks fart out their mouths when they ask questions like this.

Seriously? It depends entirely on their state of health and diet. It is not a necessary side effect of growing old.

(Don't ask why we were have this conversation...)

Answer 14

old people don't have control over their bowel movements as much as younger people...i guess the young hold it in while the old can't so they just let them out...the elderly don't have full control of the movements of their bodily functions..

Answer 15

Yes, but its only letting off a little steam. Hey, if you can't hide it, why not devide it ??

Only when I laugh and then I blame it on the dog.
