[johnheny006]

[meki]

ahem --- excuse me --- where's the Febreeze.

[ladybug52]

Did I say mine stink???
I think not, just loud!
And I've only posted on gravity's assist to my anatomy, you've done a mental picture...
Laughing here too!

THIS subject is embarrassing? Remember that you’ve chosen to share some facts about your umm… more intimate anatomy with me in here… a little toot now and then shouldn’t be a problem, eh :o)?

Not that any of this is an issue with me; mine are odorless…

Thanks for the chuckles,

Bill

[ladybug52]

I love being faceless here! I can talk about farting and not have to look anyone in the eye!
Still a little embarrassing, this is a delicate subject for me.....
So happy to see your face on the monitor tho....
Have a great day
Hugs,
Bug

Doncha know?

Horses sweat, men perspire, and women glow…

So good to see your butt posting in here,

Bill :o)

[ladybug52]

Actually, I didn't want to bring this up myself, but since the subject has been introduced I can speak freely.....
Everyone knows that women do not fart or sweat, both those functions are for males only:)
Thank goodness, for me tx made this to be true. I was flatulence free while on tx.
I forgot what a problem it could be until I got off tx and my ability to break wind freely returned.
Nothing like lifting a person out of a wheelchair and sounding as if you have a trumpet up your but. Couldn't trust Medhelp to let me leave that extra t in but. Here, I'll try: butt.
On the same note, I really didn't have underarm sweat while I txed.
TX; now that was the life, long eyelashes, no need for deodorant, and no surprise sounds erupting from below!

the way to solve the energy crunch is to give everybody lactulose and a plug in chair so when they sit in the drivers seat...well you get it.......

who would need some cow's fodder to get around then!!!!!!!!

Farting, one of the few pleasures of life that is 100% free. I am 48 years old and get just as much enjoyment out of one now as when I was a child. Did you know you could cup your hand and actually catch one and release it in someone’s face. You have to remember, we was dirt poor when I was a kid. We had to get entertainment any way would find it.

Oh yea, between me & the dog (when she ventures to the neighbor & eats cal food) Thank goodness it is not warm enought to have the windows open  LOL

A theoretical hazard may exist for patients being treated with lactulose solution who may be required to undergo electrocautery procedures during proctoscopy or colonoscopy. Accumulation of H2 gas in significant concentration in the presence of an electrical spark may result in an explosive reaction. Although this complication has not been reported with lactulose, patients on lactulose therapy undergoing such procedures should have a thorough bowel cleansing with a non-fermentable solution. Insufflation of CO2 as an additional safeguard may be pursued but is considered to be a redundant measure.

Note that it's not methane. Strange.

It seems like hiking or biking or dancing kinda jiggles things around and settles things down. for me I guess

[Mary4now]

My GI told me to take Citrucel, its so soothing, but I'm not on Tx (Im waiting ) I just have a case of irritable bowel from the self induced stress... but she said that the gas pockets hang out in a part of the intestine that is tucked up under the liver, so sometimes I fell a little achey there and she said it is probably the gas.... so the Citrucel helps...

Joking aside, I had a bad problem with exploding intestines just after I finished tx.  I think the meds knocked out all my gut flora and the minute I stopped them the bad bacteria had a field day.  I did not recognise my poo, it was so nasty and smelly, not anything like I had ever experienced in my life.  

Anyway, I started an intensive probiotic and also a prebiotic and things slowly came back to normal.

LOL Bobby!!!

[Bobby1952]

    Next time you let one rip just light a match and you won't have that problem any more.

Antivirals can give people gas.
No matter which antiviral and regardless of
what you are taking it for.  Our tx also induces GERD.
When we are anxious or stressed, we tend to swallow more air.
All I can say is try and stay away from gas producing foods:
Soda's, spicy, veggies (even though they are good for us), gum chewing, etc...
and most important, just let it rip-you'll feel better ;-)

At almost 4.00 a gallon no I dont have too much in the tank anymore!
However living alone is so nice especially on this tx. lol

[meki]

Nope it's the fish oil and the CoQ10 for me --- sigh... I'm telling you -- people at work are going to crucify me if this keeps up... And I can't seem to just let them slip out either... Not quietly... Sigh.... ROFLMAO!

[scratchinghead]

Ah, it's so nice living alone. I can let one rip and see how loud I can get. I'm not even on tx. Never had this problem before I was taking all the supplements mentioned by HR. I'm thinking it is the Resevertrol and Circumin and probiotics that are doing it.

[mremeet]

Only when I go to Texaco. No, seriously I do get gas sometimes. But then I fart and everything is fine afterwards. Pbbbbrrrrtttttttttttt...phhhttt. Y'know? ;-)
