Holding in too many farts may cause gas to be reabsorbed and exhaled in breath.

Infact verdict: Mostly True (68/100).

The claim that holding in farts can lead to gas being reabsorbed into the bloodstream and exhaled in breath is supported by multiple sources. Articles from The Conversation and other reliable sources indicate that intestinal gas can indeed be reabsorbed and exhaled if held in for too long. This aligns with the physiological understanding of gas absorption and exhalation processes.
