draw water from a well; draw water for a bath; the wound drew blood. Bible, John iv. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. George Cheyne (1671-1743) Spirits, by distillations, may be drawn out of vegetable juices, which shall flame and fume of themselves.
There are two main causes of gas: swallowed air and the normal breakdown of undigested food -- especially sugar, starches, and fiber. Your body expels this gas through burps and farts. Everyone does it. In fact, when your body is healthy, it's normal to pass gas 14 to 23 times a day. Bloating can be caused by too much gas in the intestines, although you can also feel bloated and have a normal amount of gas.
Although most animals pass gas, careful attention needs to be paid to horses that pass gas frequently. If your horse is passing excessive gas and has other gastric symptoms, is a serious and potentially life threatening condition known as colic may be the cause. Most horses will be âgassyâ from time to time, and if your horse shows no other symptoms, it is usually harmless (but smelly!). If you hear significant amounts of gas rumbling when you place your ear to your horseâs abdomen and your horse is passing manure, you are most likely seeing colic activity.
