The expansion of gas at low pressure

The man next to me has just got a packet of crisps out of his bag, as usual it's swollen so much that it's almost spherical. It has just occurred to me that this effect is probably connected to the sensation of bloating that I am experiencing in my colon. I suspect that my internal gasses have increased in volume by around 25% and are now seeking an exit.
