Could you please inform my vegetarian husband of that fact?

vitamin stores sell charcoal tablets which help a lot, also chlorophyl tablets I think can help, and like one PP mentioned...meat makes stinkier farts/shit than vegetables. Contrary to popular belief beans don't make you fart, meat does.

My farts reeked the most when I was pregnant.

You know, it IS OK to have the occasional thought that you don't express on DCUM. Same goes for facebook, twitter, etc.

A fart amongst friends is always better than a lonely colic.

Lactose intolerance often presents as extreme gassiness.

I am truly the gassiest person alive and my DH always says its so unlady-like but, really, what can I do about it? Laying off the dairy helps but not completely. The worst is that my DD seems to have inherited my intestines. It is so embarrassing.

OP, improve your gut bacteria. Start with some probiotics from the fridge section of Whole Foods.


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.

Okay, this is no help but I am reminded of W.H. Auden who said something to the effect of "Every man secretly loves the smell of his own fart."

Thank God I live in an efficiency. My farts get so bad I'm surprised I haven't blown my apt. into a 2 bedroom.

I'm the opposite... Mine are loud and embarrassing and his are room-evacuating stinky. At least if he goes (which thankfully happens often) to the bathroom before it happens, I can't smell it. I go to the bathroom and come out to him laughing and making farting sounds with his mouth... SO NOT FUNNY!

You're not alone. We're the same way!

Sorry this is gross but I'm really curious...His are loud and don't really smell, mine are silent but can seriously clear a room. It doesn't seem to matter what I eat and we mostly eat the same foods anyway. This feels like such a role reversal! Are there other couples like this or are we really that strange?
