Smelly flatulence whilst asleep :/

[GlowingR]

I've generally had mild IBS and general bloatedness (I've tried cutting out the main culprits to minimize this but if I wanted to eliminate everything I am sensitive to, I would have a scarily limited diet of almost nothing).

My partner mentioned that despite me never farting in front of him in the day, I usually let one off (a silent, very odorous one) during the middle of the night. He said it's always silent, always during the middle of the night, and even though the odour is strong (enough to wake him up), it disappears fairly quickly too. I felt so embarassed hearing that :(

I don't eat very late at night most days (occasionally it's unavoidable to eat late), I can't cut out more things than what I am already as it would make it impractical to eat out (I'm already saying no for many food items e.g. milk, beans, brocolli, wheat, fructose containing fruits, artificial flavourings, never have fizzy drinks, etc. and anyway, he says it's basically every night and I eat different things every day.

My questions are:

1. Any tried and tested fixes please?
2. Has any other female's partner told them something like this?

It may not be the most tactful thing but maybe better to know. If you find something like the charcoal really works you may want to use it if you go away and share with someone else (eg weekend with friends) even if you don’t use it all the time.
