How to stop farting?

[Anonymous]

I have been getting excessive farts that are uncontrollable because of my stomach is producing too much gas, they don't smell but are very load. Its embarrassing because am in class everyday with a lot of people and i think they hear it but just keep quiet. I hv tried few ways but none help stop the farts. The funny thing is when am at home they aren't excessive or sometimes none. Please help!

Here are some suggestions to try to help stop excessive farting in class:

- Check your diet and see if any foods cause extra gas for you, like beans, cruciferous veggies, carbonated drinks. Cut back on those and see if it makes a difference.

- Try taking an over-the-counter gas relief supplement like Beano before meals. The enzymes can help break down gas-causing foods.

- Stay hydrated by drinking water. Dehydration can contribute to gas buildup.

- Try not to swallow too much air when eating. Take smaller bites and chew slowly.

- Do deep breathing/belly breathing to help relieve pressure in your gut.

- Ask your doctor about a probiotic supplement. Probiotics can help balance gut bacteria to reduce gas.

- Wear looser fitting clothes to class so your stomach isn't feeling cramped.

- Try to pass gas discreetly if you need to, like in the bathroom between classes.

- Be confident! Own it with a smile if someone does hear - act like it's no big deal. They'll forget about it.

Hope this gives you some things to try. And remember, everyone passes gas - you're totally normal! Let me know if any tips help curb the classrooom toots.

Have a look at your food mixing and consumption on a macro level.

Do you eat a lot of sugar, especially with your meals? Try and cut that out and see if it helps. Bear in mind there's a lot of sugar in fruit and a lot of beverages people drink. Reduce sugar consumption and keep it to a snack rather than being with your main food.

You're probably allergic to something you're eating. Stop bread, dairy (both milk and eggs) and beans for about two weeks and see if the problem goes away. Also, try to sleep on your stomach at night for those two weeks.

After the two weeks, introduce ONE of these food items back into your diet and you'll find out what has been causing that issue.

If you still can't figure it out, then see a doctor.

Whenever it happens just blame the nearest guy. No one will believe a girl ripping them in class.

You don't. Just try to vent in a controlled environment wherever possible. And if worst comes to worst, most fart noises are caused by the buttcheeks, and it becomes quieter if you hold them just slightly apart.

You should seek out a doctor.
