What passing gas can say about your health

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:37 GMT

By Kristen Rogers | CNNJust as everybody poops, everybody has gas. But the reasons why you break wind can vary, and sometimes it can be cause for concern.“As a pediatric gastroenterologist, I get asked about this all the time,” said Dr. Mark Corkins, division chief of pediatric gastroenterology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center. “There are two sources of ‘gas,’ and not all gas is gas. Part of what we pass is air. We all swallow some air, and some people swallow a lot of air. Now that seems to be odorless.”Real gas, on the other hand, is primarily the byproduct of the fermentation of food in the colon, said Corkins, who is also a professor of pediatrics. “Our colon has (billions of) bacteria living in it. … If we don’t digest (food), the bacteria will.”READ MORE: Why does coffee make you poop?

Inmates at California women's prison sue federal government over sexual abuse

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:37 GMT

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Eight inmates at a San Francisco Bay Area lockup — dubbed the “rape club” by prisoners and workers alike — filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the federal Bureau of Prisons, saying sexual abuse and exploitation has not stopped despite the prosecution of the former warden and several former officers. The lawsuit filed in Oakland by attorneys representing the inmates and the advocacy group California Coalition for Women Prisoners also names the current warden and 12 former and current guards. It alleges the Bureau of Prisons and staff at the Dublin facility didn’t do enough to prevent sexual abuse going back to the 1990s. An Associated Press investigation last year found a culture of abuse and cover-ups that had persisted for years at the prison, about 21 miles (34 kilometers) east of Oakland. That reporting led to increased scrutiny from Congress and pledges from the federal Bureau of Prisons that it would fix problems and change the culture at the prison.The Bur...

‘Blue Beetle’ director Ángel Manuel Soto says the DC film is a ‘love letter to our ancestors’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:37 GMT

WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif.. (AP) — Director Ángel Manuel Soto didn’t think too much about the “Latino side of things” when visually crafting DC’s “Blue Beetle” alongside Mexican screenwriter Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer.The film — starring “Cobra Kai’s” Xolo Maridueña as Jaime Reyes, aka Blue Beetle and DC’s first Latino superhero — oozes with Mexican references and elements of other Latin American cultures through almost every scene. Still, the Puerto Rican director says that all of this came naturally due to his and Dunnet-Alcocer’s backgrounds.“We never were like, ‘Okay, so how are we going to make this Latino?’ We cannot hide who we are. If we have the opportunity to tell our collective experiences because we are Latino, they’re going to come out Latino.”In “Blue Beetle,” Reyes finds himself in possession of an ancient scarab named Khaji Da made of alien biotechnology that chooses Reyes as its symbiotic host. In a hilarious scene, the scarab attaches itself to Reyes, transforming the hesit...

Farrell left out by England after World Rugby appeals against the overturning of his red card

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:00:37 GMT

DUBLIN (AP) — England captain Owen Farrell was left out of the squad to play Ireland on Saturday in a Rugby World Cup warmup game, hours after World Rugby announced it will appeal against the decision to overturn the red card he received against Wales last weekend.Farrell’s availability for the start of the World Cup, which begins on Sept. 8, has been thrown into doubt after Thursday’s intervention by the game’s global governing body, which came after widespread surprise and dismay at the decision of a disciplinary panel to not hand him a ban that could last as long as six weeks.Farrell was initially yellow-carded for the high, dangerous tackle on Wales flanker Taine Basham in England’s 19-17 win in the World Cup warmup game at Twickenham on Saturday. It was later upgraded to a red card after video review but an independent judicial committee said that decision was wrong, citing a “sudden and significant change in direction from the ball carrier” before Farre...
