Brazilian singer hospitalized with “trapped farts”

A Brazilian singer says she’s no longer ashamed to let it rip, after she was hospitalized with a case of “trapped farts.” Viviane de Queiroz Pereira—better known by her stage name Pocah—made the admission in a recent Instagram story after she was treated for intestinal gas buildup. The 27-year-old told her 15.7 million followers she was too embarrassed to pass gas in front of her partner, so she held in her farts for extended periods. MORE
