University of Maryland Develops Wearable Device to Measure Human Flatulence and Gut Activity

Researchers at the University of Maryland have introduced a wearable device called Smart Underwear, designed to objectively monitor human flatulence by detecting hydrogen gas produced by gut microbes.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Studying Gas-Passing Medical science has reached a new height. We now have the first wearable device that can actually measure human flatulence, farts, in real time. The research fartologists are actually University of Maryland cell and molecular biologists who now publish their gaseous findings in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics. Their study tested “smart underwear” with a wearable sensor that measures the hydrogen gas produced by bacterial fermentation in the gut. Farts also contain an abundance of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, but these are provided by swallowed air and not generated in the gastrointestinal tract. In the 19 healthy adult subjects who wore the smart underwear about 11 hours a day for one week, researchers found flatulence occurs on average about 32 times per day. Individual variation was wide from as few as 4 events to as many as 59 per day. Compare this finding with older medical estimates of about 14 farts per day plus or minus. The device demonstrated 94.7% sensitivity in detecting increased hydrogen production after participants ate inulin, a prebiotic fiber known to stimulate the production of gut bacteria. This precise gas monitoring won’t cure cancer, but it is possible that a gastrointestinal cancer may have a very specific flatulence signature. This technology will help establish a normal baseline for flatulence, something that has never existed before. Because the hydrogen in flatus is produced by gut bacteria, these measurements will provide insight into the effects of diet and microbiome activity on many digestive disorders. https://www.acsh.org/news/2026/02/21/university-maryland-toots-out-beauty-smart-underwear-measures-your-farts-49967 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590137025001268 #flatulence #farts #gastrointestinal"

Prep:

Put the slow-cooker on low, lid on.

Open the cans of beans. For each one, pour into the collander over a sink. Then run cold water over every millimeter of them. Shake them around to expose the parts that are touching each other. If you can flick it to bring the ones on the bottom to the top without spilling them all, do that. Keep rinsing until every bean has had every part rinsed *good*. Drain and pour the beans into the slow cooker and put the lid back on. Repeat for each type of bean.

Why? This is the beans-and-gas thing. The part of the bean that can give you gas is indigestible proteins that they contain. Your stomach can't break them down, so they go through and end up fermenting, basically, in your intestines, producing gas.

The trick is that these indigestible proteins are only on the *surface* of the bean. Not in the beans themselves. You rinse & shake & rinse & rinse the beans, and none of that indigestible protein ends up in the dish to start with, and you don't get gas.

Start heating the pot/pan over medium heat on the stove. Chop the onion, medium to fine. Add some cooking oil to the pot/pan. Throw in the garlic, minced. Add salt fairly liberally. Then fry and stir until the onions are starting to caramelize. Throw it all in the slow cooker.

Enough political crap and technical bitching for today. My post about Mozilla's most recent stupidity with Firefox looks like it'll be my most-boosted post this week, so let's change it up.

Do something fun.

Like eat. Everyone likes eating, right? With cooler weather approaching (or here already) for northern-hemisphere folk like me, warm, filling comfort-food is popping into our heads. In my mind, there are 3 big category leaders - and one of them is chili.

If you immediately stop here and say it's not for you because of the beans => gas thing, stay with me. If beans give you gas, they're not being prepared correctly. I'll talk about this later.

Okay, here's how I make #chili. [1] It's easy, using a slow cooker or equivalent. It's not really a recipe, because I don't use, record, or follow recipes. I generally don't measure stuff when cooking (unlike baking). I substitute ingredients liberally, and season by taste. Pretty much nothing I make is made exactly the same way twice.

This will make enough for a couple of decent-sized meals for 2 or 3 people. Leftover chili is even better than just-cooked.

1/x

[1] Real chili. See later in this thread for what I mean by this.

Do sloths fart? Cute new video finally settles age old question

For years, it's been assumed that sloths don't fart. But new footage of a baby sloth letting rip in a water bath has shown that, contrary to popular belief, these tree-dwellers are actually incredibly gassy.
