TMI: Am I the only wife whose farts stink worse than dh?

[Anonymous]

Beano anyone?

Also, your stench may result from food sitting too long "in the pipe." Do you exercise regularly (5+ days a week)? Keep things moving, with regular exercise, plenty of water, and non-soluable fiber.

Lay off the red meat. 1. It makes stinky shit. 2. It slows down digestion (see point above).

That about covers it.

OP here...I do exercise regularly, get fiber, and only eat red meat occasionally, but I'll try the probiotics. I have tried beano, Gas-X, etc and they can reduce the quantity but not the smell.

Alfalfa liquid will take care of the smell....you can get it at healthfood stores or whole foods.

Mine are so much stinkier it is actually funny. It runs in my family. My mom has the stinkiest farts ever and so do me and my sister. it is quite amazing. and I do all the things I should to minimize but it is just the way i'm made. sometimes my husband thinks my son has pooped b/c of my farts. it is pretty funny.

Farts are not funny to me. My DH and I sleep in separate rooms because of them. It smells like something crawled up his butt and died.

OP again, my DH has had to leave the bed because of mine. Sometimes they wake him up out of a sound sleep (the smell, not the sound!)

I think we must be distant relatives

Could you please inform my vegetarian husband of that fact?

Heh. I'm also a vegetarian and I can kill my husband with my farts. Don't know if the vegetarian stinkiness is real or just a myth but I consistently outfart DH.

I was a vegetarian for 12 years and my farts were no less stinky than they are now. And, boy, are they stinky. Especially when I'm about to get my period and when I was pregnant. Woo! They're just awful.

DH's rarely smell but are very loud. Mine, like PPs', are silent but deadly.

Did you know?
About 1/3 of human beings produce farts which contain methane gas. Gastrointestinal Gas (Ch. 17 in Gastroenterology, v. 4, 1976)

First of all, if you're a methane producer, congratulations! Second your backdoor trumpet should be revered and worshiped by the rest of us. You should stand tall with your methane producing booty bomb held high. Let your colon cologne waft freely behind you...And let others know that you are a proud contributor to the increase of global warming.

This doesn't apply to me, but my sister has the nastiest farts ever. I can't imagine that BIL's are worse.

[Anonymous]

Yep, if it smells so bad, you need some probiotics. I swear, it will help you immensley. Not just the smell, but the farting in general.

[Anonymous]

LOL! This is totally me. I just found this thread b/c DH and I got into an argument last night b/c he said I was stinking up the living room. I can't help it.

[Anonymous]

The stinkiness sequence in our house is as follow:

DH

me

and now, the stinkiest of us all

OUR BABY!

I thought there was nothing worse than me but baby is getting worse by the day!!!

We just laugh it off. We're all so stinky anyway...

[Anonymous]

Sadly, me too, OP. Mine are disgusting.

I do second the recommendation for probiotics. I took some after I had to go on antibiotics and noticed a real improvement in the fart smell issue as a side benefit.
