I'm curious what happens when you take compressed air into your stomach. I mean we aren't talking about lots, just a little bit. I'm assuming if you didn't burp it up while still at depth you would while ascending (when the bubble your stomach expands along with everything else).
But, and I'm sure this would be freakish, what if the gas makes it to your large intestine? Any deco issues there, or am I just over-thinking this?
Thanks,

Edit: As I think about this, it seems to me that I do plenty of swallowing when diving to keep my throat wet and I'm sure I get compressed air in my stomach then, but the question stands.
