You sleep downstairs, he can't help farting in his sleep. And maybe you can both consider your diets.

You have my sympathies - DH's farts are sulphurous. I keep a box of matches in the bedroom to light to mask the smell. The room hasn't yet exploded.

Is there anything specific that he eats that makes it worse OP?

My DH is pretty windy but they only smell very bad if he's been drinking beer or eating allot of leafy veg.

Maybe he could try cutting back on certain foods one at a time and see if it helps? Wheat? Alcohol?

Does he have problems with a specific food? Gluten?

I haven't looked into the problem properly TBH! You are right about certain food though. He's been eating loads of cheese though...

Never let him eat a whole box of onion bhajis. (Bitter experience.)

MrsLouis I bet it's the cheese! Ask him to cut out dairy in general for a couple of days & see if it gets better.

A friend of mine is lactose intolerant. Her boyfriend was notorious for his horrible farts. She made him cut out dairy (sort of my default) & it's like a miracle cure as the horrendous farts have significantly reduced!

Maybe it's because I live with teenage boys, but I really don't get fussed about farts. We eat lots of pulses & green veg, so we will suffer the consequences.

Yankee hmm cheese... We have a fridge full left over from NY! I was hoping he'd hoover it up!

sperm What is it with men and farts though? Obviously everyone does it but there are a lot of women in my family and none of us let it out. The men do though :(

Does lactose intolerant mean that dairy foodstuffs make you gassy or is there more to it?

Mrs I'm not sure. As my mother gets older she's more prone to doing the sneeze/laugh/fart thing & still says 'pardon my bottom'.

Change in diet.

We visited PILs for a few days over Christmas, and for the first 48 hours back the smell of what DH produced was unbearable. Even he noticed.

Do you think those models knew they were modelling fart pants?

They look so smug, I think they hadn't got a clue.

Serious question, is he on medication for anything?
My DH had a back op last year and was on various meds, several of which gave him chronic stinky wind.

Or cheese, veg, meat, milk and fizzy drinks are other well known culprits.
