Coming from sea level to about 5,300 feet in Colorado, I experienced first hand the glory of expanded gastrointestinal gas. At higher altitudes, due to the decrease in air pressure, the gas in your stomach actually expands in volume. This increase leads to the increase in the expulsion of the gas which could, in extreme cases, kill small animals or even children! Beware. Ask my Uncle John about this one.
