Oh dear lord make it stop!!!

[CakeWarrior]

Oh my word.. i have no idea what i have eaten but my farts are effing rancid. Im making myself feel sick 🤢. Its like something ate a raw egg... died...and decomposed in there. Even the dog wont come near me 🙈🤦‍♀️. I swear it could gag a maggot. I added courgettes to the lasagne tonight. Im convinced it's the courgettes. The bastards.

We live on a new build estate still having houses built. My mom visited tonight and asked if the builders were doing the sewage pipes as it stunk. I had to fess up it was my rancid arse. She knows i suffer with IBS but even she went “ oh dear.... it is particularly bad today isnt it? That cant be healthy having that fermenting in your bowels love...”

I cant go to bed. Im dying downstairs in an open area. I cant release that plume in a small enclosed space as our bedroom. I will be arrested for manslaughter of my DH.

Im driving to yorkshire tomorrow. Dear god i hope its gone by then. I wont survive.

For what its worth... im not a poo troll. Just a woman with a rancid arse scaring the family and local animals. I should shove an air diffuser in my knickers. Will this pass by tomorrow? Or is my family doomed?

Thank you for this, I feel my evening has been enhanced greatly!

Have you been eating houmous?

Oh you poor thing! I get like that after eating leaks and onions.

However I have no advice. Wind tablets don't make a different in my opinion.

Honestly tho, better out than in.

😂 I've had this before. It's usually stuffing that does it. Or onions in general. In the early hours I felt the need to fart and expected it to be a small one. Oh my god. I suspect I woke the neighbours it was that long and loud It was a shocker. That's garlic for you!
Lasagne is full of dairy and combined with the courgettes and no doubt onions/garlic then you've got yourself a sulphur factory

You'll probably pass most of it in your sleep. Leave the room window open and the door if you can.

Nothing like a good fart is there?!

I don't think i can put the words "good" and "fart" in the same sentence! Im convinced my eyebrows will melt off or something at this rate. Im so bloated. I never gave it a thought about the sulpher!!! It could be bottled and used as a weapon of mass destruction to release my rancid arse stench. I dont have a loose tummy... it just smells like the london sewage system combined with a decomposing egg heap. Wouldnt the fan just waft the smell around the room? 🤢🤢

Charcoal tablets.

I buy them in bulk for the sake of my nose and to reduce the luminous green fog that rises from under the other bedroom door and creeps across the landing to my room. I have been known to spray Neutradol under the door to try to kill it.

Are you sure you aren't a arse (poo / fart) troll?

Peppermint and fennel tea is great for bloating. I don't think you can buy them combined any more but I just get them separately and put one tea bag of each in a mug of boiling water and sweeten with a little honey. Probably no help to you tonight but good for future reference. In the meantime you can gently massage your tummy in the direction the air flows in. Stroke up from your right hip, across the bottom of your ribs, down the left side to your hip and repeat. Also try assuming the downward dog like position. All fours, head down, arse up. I have ibs too and I've had some very uncomfortable and painful times along with a very musical arse.

@Crunchymum yup. Im afraid i dont get a kick out of nobody wanting to be near me for the smell.. or the terrible stomach pains. I mean.. if some people get a kick outta poo.. i dont judge... whatever floats their boat. But i dont. Im more hoping other people who suffer the same can give helpful advice.. such as the charcoal tablets mentioned above. If you want to think im a troll then go ahead. You clearly have never suffered from the horrors that IBS can behold.

@Bercows Thankyou so much for the helpful advice, the tea i can buy tomorrow before we leave for our holiday. I will try the combination you have said and will have some stashed for future use - but the exercises i can do now. Oh thankyou!! Lasagne is now my demon!

Hey CakeWarrior, thank you for making me laugh, you poor poor thing! I've got IBS too and second peppermint and fennel tea! I also mix chamomile and fennel, just for variety's sake. Another thing that helps greatly is making sure I always empty my gut once a day properly - I use flaxseed oil or crushed flax seeds in my breakfast daily. Increase if constipated. I find afternoon/evening bloating so so much worse if I haven't pooed in the morning or had a hard one 🙈 I promise I'm not a poo troll either. IBS is sure an annoying problem to have. If I don't keep things in check, I can't do stuff like yoga classes for fear of public mortification 😳

Mint tea or those mint oil ibs capsules

Definitely mint tea, I have a cup every day. My dh will be starting daily mint tea today!

I feel your pain lass!

In my case it's usually sugar that sets it off. Lucozade used to be known as 'Fart Juice' as it would produce so much I could've powered an ocean going liner.

So saying I think I'm coming out of a week long stint of excruciating indigestion and the (actually welcome at the time) fats that sounded as though they were warming up for the Symphony Orchestra.

I, oddly, find full fat Coke (cold and just opened) often helps, as do Polos.

Good luck!

Not ibs but I have diverticulosis and you have my full sympathy and understanding. I know that when I can smell it and gag that it's even worse for other people. I inadvertently lifted the duvet this morning and forgot to hold my breath, damn near choked myself!

Yuck!

Thank you for making me laugh and letting me know I'm not alone.
I have Coeliacs and when I'm glutened I get this, it's vile. I am abandoned by the whole family. I aslo manage to gain about 4kg overnight.

am 'feeling' all if this - one of my DCats likes to curl up next to me on the bed - god knows why... the poor creature often gets the full force. He actually looked askance at me once - what could I say??

Mine were delightful (not really) yesterday. I had made a beast of myself and suffered. Luckily it stopped before I got to work otherwise I think they would have asked me to go home again!!!

I’ve gone strictly gluten and lactose free for my ibs
That’s no wheat, rye oats barley malt maltodextrin or any milk products
Bloating getting better

I also take 12 drops of goldenseal from nature’s answer twice a day before breakfast and evening meal
All helps with abdominal problems

Colpermin peppermint tans are very good for the bloating
I get them in a 100 packet fromebsy
About £18-99
Instead of £25 from boots

Ebay

Bercows what is it about stuffing? I know onions can make wind bad but I can eat a bhaji with barely a fragrance, but stuffing? Oh my word! I can tell when my teenager has been for a carvery with his dad too.

Peppermint cordial or peppermint tea and a gobful of charcoal tablets will sort you out.

How you doing today lass?

Onions contain sulphur
If the sulphur compounds mix with hydrogen producing hydrogen sulfide that’s that horrible rotten eggy fart smell we once made inthe lab

I made veggie bolognese today and now am similarly afflicted 😩
