Meta-Analysis of the Composition of Human Intestinal Gases

DiscussionThe meta-analysis has found defined concentrations of the five most common gases present in human colonic gas. Limitations included heterogenic methodologies, a low number of participants, and few recent studies. These findings may be helpful in diagnostic applications where colonic gas volume and composition are crucial factors, including functional disorders, microbiome analyses, and bowel perforation diagnostics.
