Love the gas. LOVE THE GAS!!!

Bumping just so the deprived foreign bobcat spouse thread continues to be resonant.

I've been battling gas for years, since my metabolism went over the hill, mid-30s. I've been to doctors, tested, check over (inside, ick!) and no cause has been found. I've been told some people are just bad at digesting.

FWIW - The single biggest change that worked for me was switching to lactose free milk. Lactose intolerance is quite common, but the effects vary from person to person. Worth a try, give it a few days to see if it make a difference.


But, really, at least tell him you find it disgusting and to leave the room. Heck, I've even slept in the spare room by choice some nights.

My husband was called a crop duster once! He farts and farts and then leaves the area, exposing unknowing innocent people, who happen to walk there afterwards and come across the putrid fumes! He does his thing and he's gone so fast you never know, till you take your first breath. Hahahaha

? Some of the responses here are hillarious! And I'm only on the 1st page. I needed this tonight ?

Something is wrong with his diet and digestion. Yes we all fart, but when it's really gross smelling it's diet or constipation.

DH has room clearing farts. I asked him to do it in the bathroom. He agreed and we are good now.

When I had one of my kids, he farted repeatedly in the recovery room the next day. It was so bad and stayed so long that the attendants stayed outside the room and said they would come back later. I had to leave I was gagging so I took the baby for a walk down the hall for an hour.

My DH would love to have more sex but then he farts and I nope out of there

Unless you are medically diagnosed with a gluten allergy or celiacs, I promise you gluten was not the problem. So much pseudoscience up in this joint!

I was not medically diagnosed, but the day I cut wheat out of my life all my gastrointestinal problems magically disappeared. OP's husband has nothing to lose by trying it. I actually think my problem is wheat, not necessarily gluten, as I can eat barley and rye. Try it out, OP!

He has...

bread
pancakes
crackers
muffins
cookies
pasta
cupcakes
and so much more to lose.

When did this culture of orthorexic restriction become mindless? Cut out gluten if and only if your doctor says to. Otherwise, studies have shown that gluten-free diets are useless and any positive effects are placebo.

I should know. I went gluten free and my eczema went away. When I read the study showing gluten intolerance doesn't exist - published by the same scientists who originally thought it had; they revised their opinion based on new information - I added it back in. Guess what? No eczema. It is not scientifically sound.

I THOUGHT YOU PEOPLE IN DC WERE SUPPOSED TO BE EDUCATED?! Are you just as anti science as the idiots I left behind???

If is fine to take occasionally just not every day.

If you have asked your medical doctor and s/he says it is, yes.

But we do not know what other medications, complications, risk factors, or illnesses strangers on the internet are dealing with. Let's not pretend we do.

DO NOT TAKE MEDICAL ADVICE FROM THE INTERNET.

I have been married 18 years and we have never ever farted in front of each other. Some lines should not be crossed.

Your DH sounds like my father. He used to think it was hysterical but it was really rancid. He also travelled to foreign countries a lot. I don't know if he picked up a foreign bug, but I too think you should slip him some probiotics. Or else he's not going to the bathroom soon enough. The more you laugh the more he's going to keep doing it.
