have a disgusting question

Better out than in! But on a more helpful note, I suffer from IBS so get this problem all the time. I prefer to avoid taking anything with chemicals in it being a bit of a health nut. Try taking some Aloe juice twice a day and/or a peppermint oil supplement. Aloe juice tastes rancid by itself so I tend to mix it into orange juice or similar. Good luck :-)

omg these replies are freakin hilarious I am laughing so hard hope one doesn't escape now j/k Thanks for all of the suggestions I like the one about going by and doing it in front of the officers and watching them blame each other. I have one of the officers that comes in here and farts but he just says he is blowing us kisses lol.

Practice the art of "Ninja" farting.

Start from a seated position. Look around to see if anyone is watching. Once the coast is clear shift all your weight to one "cheeck". We will refer to this as cheeck #1. Now slowly lean in the direction you shifted your weight. This should create an ample amount of space between cheeck#1 and cheeck#2. At this point a carefully controlled release combine with the aforementioned "ample" space should result in an virtually silent departure of the troublesome gas.

Hope that helps, best of luck!

And remember, practice makes perfect.

P.S. if someone catches you leaning, pretend your trying to look around something that is in front of you and say "That's weird....I thought I saw something."

:laugh:

LMAO... I so do this... But actually most of mine are silent anyways. It's the smell that's bad which is why I always keep body spray in my desk drawer and every once in a while someone will pass by and say "Mmm, it smells good right here. What is that scent?" HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!! People just think I like to spray every now and then. =]

When I first increased my fiber, I definitely had some... um... issues. :laugh:

I just excused myself when I needed to & suffered through it and now I rarely have issues & I generally get 25-30g of fiber each day. Supposedly, if you increase your fiber intake slowly, the gassy effects aren't as bad.

I've found for some reason fiber-enriched things (like Fiber One bars, for example) make it a lot worse than if I eat more natural fiber in fruits & veggies. I'm not sure why, it's just a thing I've noticed.

You started out by saying that you have really bad side pains......are you sure it's gas? A month ago I was feeling bad side pains and I assumed it was gas. They never went away so I told my doctor and he sent me for an ultrasound. We found cyst on my left ovary. I'm schedualed for surgery next week Friday to have it removed. And I thought it was just gas! I feel the pain the most when it's time to go to the bathroom or to pass gas and it's actually my ovary.

Lol well the police officers do but not the ladies in dispatch. Also I have tried going to the bathroom but it's in the same room and for some reason everytime I go in there the girls go in the kitchen and they are loud to so I don't know what to do.

Tough being a woman, sometimes-- no?

Wouldn't it be nice to just be Shrek-- "Better out than in, I always say."

Women just let yourselves FART already!! I work in an office with almost all women, we let them rip all day long and blame them on each other :laugh: It is far from anything to be ashamed of - it is the exact oposite. Your body is adjusting to your HEALTHY LIFESTYLE! Are the other women in your office working their butts off (no pun intended :laugh: ) to be healthier? Its a side affect - embrace it!

While I agree it's nothing to be ashamed of, there *is* such a thing as being CONSIDERATE of others. :noway:

I really don't care if someone lets one go around me, but I certainly don't want to smell it. So, I personally try to give others the same courtesy (of not smelling my farts) that I'd like for them to give me. My boyfriend and I intentionally don't fart next to each other and we've lived together for almost 4 years now. It's not because we're embarrassed, it's because farts generally smell gross. I love him & I don't want him to have to smell my farts & he's just as considerate (I guess I have the only man in the world who excuses himself to go to the bathroom to pass gas?).
