The coral reefs existing today began growing as early as 50 million years ago. Most established coral reefs are between 5,000 and 10,000 years old. Although size can be a good indicator of the age of a coral reef, it is not a certain indicator.he coral reefs existing today began growing as early as 50 million years ago.

Excessive flatulence is generally caused by bacteria that live in the intestines. Another, less common, cause is the swallowing of excessive air. Intestinal bacteria produce different amounts of gas depending on what you eat. Sugars and polysaccharides tend to yield flatulence. If excessive flatulence is a problem, adjusting your diet can make a big difference.
However, excessive flatulence is often a symptom associated with various digestive disorders and gastrointestinal diseases. Watery flatus is a symptom and not a disease on its own. It is often associated with diarrhea, abdominal cramps and nausea as it tends to occur in many diarrheal illnesses. The treatment largely depends on the underlying cause and symptomatic treatment is of minimal benefit in the short term.
