 flatulence
First, a brief reprise of what flatulence is: it is the body's way of purging the colon of unwanted gases and relieving pressure on the intestines.
This gas, and pressure from same, is the result of (a) what we eat (b) air ingested while we eat and (c) the chemical interactions of the food with a variety of microbes that inhabit our lower tract, as they perform their own particular roles in our disgestive/waste disposal systems.
Having no data or available standards on what constituted 'excessive flatulence' -- other than family, friends, and associates of the patient -- Dr. Levitt deemed it a worthy void to be filled.

Second-hand flatulence is seldom met with a forgiving societal response for two reasons: 1.) Each outburst effectively "socializes" the perpetrator's discomfort (everybody in the vicinity of a gas outburst suffers equally), and; 2.) Each event "commodifies" those who are exposed, transforming them into unwitting "human air filters".
The sound of an outburst is a function of a sphincter's elasticity, the presence or absence of hemorrhoids, the muscle tone of the flesh surrounding the sphincter and the wishes of the delivery person.
Numerous research findings and real-world product tests lead us to believe that the advanced technology filter components present in the GasMedic™ flatulence filter by Dairiair®, LLC represent the best approach to managing excess intestinal gas conditions.
