    I just synchronize it with when my feet hit the treadmill. It mutes out the sound. Then there is no way for anyone to know who did it.

    Workout on an empty stomach. I've heard that helps promote fat-burning too. I hated it at first but actually prefer it now - you don't have all that food (and gas) sloshing around in your stomach.

    BTW, I'd take you over the guy at my gym who is always smothered in cologne. Ugh.

    Do you eat before bedtime ? food don't get digested well when sleeping and that can lead to gas. Usually carbs are the culprit so get your carbs before the workout and the protein after - make breakfast more on the carbs side and dinner on the protein side.

    Good thing a lot of people wear earbuds/headphones at the gym. The gym I go to is constantly being fogged with air freshners... I think I rather smell farts than choke on strong air freshners LOL

    You said you have a high fiber diet- does that include fiber one bars? Or anything else with chicory root? Chicory root is like fart fuel. People often think fiber makes them fart, but often its just the damm chicory root.

    There a lot of ladies in my Pilates and Yoga classes with the same problem. Hard to keep a straight face when you hear "their machine gun noises" when we are doing a "happy baby" or a "downward dog" movement.

    Most of us skip the deep breathing exercises when that happens.:blushing:

    LMAO!! Sooooo true! Poor guy next to me the other day went into downward dog and let an enormous one rip....it was bad (I of course started giggling, because I am very immature when it comes to farts!). There is actually a yoga pose called "wind releasing pose!!"

    as my mommy taught me a loong time ago, more than 3 farts in a short amount of time might mean you have to take a poo even if you dont think so.

    so grab a book, go assume the position on the toilet and see what happens :laugh:

    Another poster here briefly mentioned "lactose intolerance" . I would give that some serious thought. I used to be the "fart king" as well and it turned out I was lactose intolerant. I didn't think I would be since I drank tons of milk as a kid, but apparently the body changes over time (besides the obvious things) and lactose problems can show up later in life.

    If you're over 30 then it is a possibility.

    lol on the poster who suggested bringing a dog to the gym

    I looked at about 10 days' worth of your diary. Lots of fruit & veggies, adequate protein, practically no junk food, looks great in that respect. You're averaging--what, 65 or 70 grams of fiber a day? That could very well be the cause of your gym problem.

    My bf does it all the time, he blames it on all the protein drinks.

    The protein powder definitely causes gas and the need to go! Drink them after the workout on your way home.

    Are you eating foods that are labeled sugar-free? I learned that my body does not tolerate any of those sweeteners that end in "tol."

    Deal with it! If you eat a lot of protein no matter what form, you will be sure to pass gass and stinky too...lol

    This is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. Sorry I am no help... Just know you are not alone and it is what it is. Certainly people at the gym are all in the same boat. They all strain together and change their diets together and can relate to one another.

    I'm pretty sure there are capsules you can get with charcoal or some kind of anti-gas properties. Or maybe it is a certain food that you eat a lot of which is causing this, bananas, beans or some kinds of green veggies react badly with some people. Oh and never drink prune juice.

    This is why I am sooooo glad I workout at home. LOL LOL LOL

    I'm also very glad I'm not the only one who does this.

    My husband laughs because while I use our guest bedroom to workout in, he can hear it all the way in the living room.

    In all seriousness, when you are straining yourself and putting stress on your body, things are bound to come out.
