Okay so I have a question. I have been having really bad side pains and I think it's because of all of the fiber. I know I have gas but I can't actually fart at work so I have been holding it in and it's been hurting do you have the same issues?

    That would definitely make you gassy...I have the same problem especially when eating salad! but DON'T hold them in...you need to pass gas...I feel wrecked from doing that and its not good for your system at all....I don't know much about why so hopefully someone else can explain it...If you have to just use the bathroom and let er rip :)

    What kind of fiber are you eating? Fruits and veggies don't make me gassy. Fiber One products made me nearly explode!!

    Maybe try GasX or Beano to help with the gas.

    Why can't you fart at work? I'm sure everyone else does. lol
  • 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?

    GasX and Beano help. I am the same way in terms of privacy but try to find a place where you can relax and release.

    A diet high in veggies and fruit is high in fiber and YES it can make you gassy till you become acclimated to your new healthier diet. I say just excuse yourself to the restroom while this is going on and eventually your body will get used to all the amazing fiber.

    I had irritable bowel syndrome for a while... and when I went to the doctor he said that I needed to increase my fiber. BUT, he said not to increase it too fast otherwise it causes bloating and gas. He said to gradually increase my fiber overtime. So, if you've recently increased your fiber, you may want to gradually increase it instead. Not sure if that helps, but I thought I would let you know! :flowerforyou: Hope your problems get better soon!
  • That is one thing I hate about being a woman it is acceptable for men to do whatever but woman it's not. Craziness that is one thing I hope I find a guy that doesn't mind all of the natural issues a woman has.

  • Just fart. And laugh about it. Say, "Well, the guys do it all the time." Someone has to take a stand for a woman's right to let one rip.

    LOL That made me laugh. "wind"

    Changing my diet has made me USE the bathroom a lot more, but as for gas, thankfully, I haven't had that problem! Mint tea IS supposed to be good for that, though, plus it tastes amazing!

    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:

    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!

    You want to have a good laugh.
    Walk by some officers and let one go silently, and keep going.
    You'll have them blaming each other.

    If you feel you can't be quiet, go somewhere else in your workplace, or go outside and let it rip. :laugh:

    I know Tri Dad. I was going to suggest the "pull my finger" trick. LOL

    This thread is hilarious. :laugh: I have nothing useful to add... I'm shy about public farting as well. :blushing:

    I say blame it on the cat! :wink:
  • If I couldn't fart at work, I'd quit my job.

    I personally practice the art of "crop-dusting"
    I just let little bit "poof" out every now and then while I walk through the laboratory

    Like a tiny toot ever other step or so
    Makes the odor linger less, I think and avoids the blame game
