Why are my farts hurting my ass?

Lenny@lemmy.world to Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world – 71 points –

I have gas from eating lots of bread, which is not unusual, but for some reason today's farts hurt my ass.

They're not those super hot farts, they're just really... pressurized? They come out loud and proud and it feels kinda violent. Any ideas?

If you had a stomach ache and had a poo with stomach acid in it (eg diarrhea), the acid can irritate your ring and make farts hurt.

This sounds made up but I want to believe it and will do no further research into the matter. Mystery solved.
