I'm not trying to be funny here, but has anyone here also had this. After a dive I almost always get a little gas. Nothing like the bends, but I do start to expel gas from down south if you know what I mean.

I think that maybe with the compression on the body while diving, that is everything pressing on the mojor organs and the like. And when I ascend it sort of expands the other gases that are in my body cavikties, just like in my ears. So it forces gas out of other areas of my body just like the ears when they equalize when you begin your ascent.

I've heard of astronauts when they train in limited air spaces, that they go through similar experiences as this.
 
Thanks even though I'm not a fan of taking too much drugs, I think I'll bring along some zantac or tums to take just before I dive; and see if that helps.
