The thing that helped me was cutting back on diary. Not out, just back. I drink lactose free milk and eat Lactiad Ice cream. It is the best ice cream I have ever tasted, especially the vanilla.

I use almond milk in my cereal. Also, Greek yogurt does not affect me, but "regular" yogurt does.

Explain it your nanny, OP. Help her.

Fodmap is the go-to for every gastroenterologist, nutritionist and dietician working with someone who has excessive gas and/or IBS.

Some people can take those. Others can’t. Sometimes they work, but sometimes they don’t.

Just ask the nanny if she has consulted a doc for her "issue." Mine don't smell but if hers do it could be a diet issue.

O.M.G. Dead!!!

Sorry, it wasn't immediately obvious to me. Feel free to just Google fobmap.

You are setting a bad example for our children and it smells horrible". Don't let this one simmer. Nip it in the bud. If the farting continues you may have to let her go.

Shame an adult for their bodily functions and then "nip it in the bud"? How do you propose that? Insist she not fart?
DCUM you never cease to amaze.

OP, she knows. She's probably uncomfortable about it too. Please, please don't bring it up.

PP was being sarcastic

Let this farting nanny know who's boss. The next time she let's it rip, pin her down and blast firey, righteous flatulence on her.
