intestinal gas Etymology: L, intestinum gas in the digestive tract arising from three sources-swallowed air, gas produced by digestive processes, and blood gases diffused into the intestinal lumen. Gases produced in the intestine and diffused from blood are mainly hydrogen (H2), most of which is a bacterial fermentation product of ingested carbohydrates, carbon dioxide (CO2), and methane (CH4).
