Flatulating /Farting in public

I know this is so not parenting I have a very embarrasing problem of flatualting,but just wondered how you disguise a fart if you are  in pubic ,I can remember years ago when I was working I was walking down the stairs and with every step out ripped a big one, most embarrasing.I used to blame the kids but most of the time they are no longer with me when I do the shopping.Oh the silent but deadly ones are better,I quickly move to the next isle.What are your ideas?

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public

I definitely would recommend looking at your diet.  I know I used to be really bad but since I've been taking vitamins supplements and watching what I eat it's a lot better.  I rarely fart much anymore.  I know dairy is particularly bad for me (or good depending if you're into farting or not!) as is coconut milk, curry, beans, and lots of licorice (so watch out if I've been eating Indian food!).

I've heard that charcoal can help.  You can get charcoal powder from chemists or health food stores.

Or talk to your doctor or naturopath.  Sure it's not life threatening, but if you feel embarassed when walking down the street, then it's important enough to deal with.

Good luck!

Hi
I say let it rip.
The reason they smell is so deaf people can enjoy them too
I love smelly ones...well when I am doing the smelly one lol
I think they are fun in a crowded department store....
When you feel a ripper coming on walk up to a big crowd of people let it rip and walk away
Watch how many wives blame their husbands.
Ok I am an avocate for womens rights...if men can fart so can women lol
You will know if im around lol hehehehe
Luv Deb

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public
try drinking yakult every morning... there are other supplements you could take like ''inner health plus'' but first look at what you are eating which may cause you to flatulate...
cheers

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public
its different with us women, with us its socially unacceptable, with men... well they just think farting is 'it and a bit' they can rip 'em anywhere they want, and people either laugh or just accept that a bloke farted lol.
funny huh....
yeah a sure way to hide it is to make the extra noise... drop something... or hide yourself in a corner, do it then warn others not to go there coz it smells like something has died :)
cheers

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public
i would take a look at your diet. if you eat too many foods in the wrong combinations it causes your stoach to make more gases. i naturopath would be able to help you

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public

Ok there are a few ways to deal with this. 1) If you feel it coming, then cough at the same time. 2) Look around you as if you heard someone else do it. 3) Brazen it out. 4) Laugh 5) Try and hold on until there is noone else anywhere nearby. 6) Do it and if it is especially embarrassing (loud or smelly) then just utter an "Oh my goodness, where did that come from?? So sorry." And yes the silent but deadly are definitely the best!

I take it that you have looked at your diet to make sure that there is nothing wrong. A lot of garlic or onion in the diet will cause this, but I can't live without either so I put up with the noise and smell. Apparently there are some vitamins or a mineral supplement out there that will help reduce this, but I personally just could not be bothered. Rather out than in!

Cheers Leisa

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public

well, there's never been any holding them back in our current household! 

Here's some general rules, however.....

If he farts in bed, he'll fluff the doona so ....so must you. 

If his farts wake you up during the night - make sure he knows it.  That's ok, he'll just be proud and it wont bother him.  But if you wake him, pretend to be asleep and try not to shake with laughter under the doona.

Silent but deadlies...SBDs - try NOT to do them in lifts or corners or you will be found out.  Also, never in small rooms where there's only a few of you.  You might get away with it in the boss's office if he's much older, but that's about it.

Shopping centres and nightclubs are good for farting - there's always plenty of noise.

Never ever try to time a fart with a car door closing....it never works and timing is always out.  And noone will believe it's frogs because there aren't many around these days.

Try not to have capsicum, apples, onion or milkshakes for lunch.  Apples are really bad, I find.

If you get pain and the unbelievable need to fart instantly, you do have a problem.  They will always be loud, you will be uncomfortable and you should drink yakult, eat yoghurt, avoid milk and cream and possibly wheat for a while and let your tummy settle down.  Maybe drink some green tea or chamomile tea.

Sometimes, it's important to give yourself a break from farting.....no matter how much you enjoy it.

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public

This is my most favourite question and I so I have revisted it this evening. 

There really is nothing better than one long loud anonymous fart amongst familiar and unfamiliar people in a crowd or public place.  I have seen/heard/been a participant many a time since childhood and I still think it is very funny.

What is your most favourite question?

Re: Flatulating /Farting in public
yeh you can end up with a twisted colon if you hold them in all the time, then you''l have to go under the knife to get it untwisted (my dad had a mate that had this happen to him. when he got married he didn't want to fart around his wife so held them all in. he ended up in hospital because of it)
