AIBU to suggest that eating turkey results on acrid farts?

[LockedOutOfMN]

Our whole family has been farting merrily and filling every corner of the house with acrid bottom fumes for the past 8 hours. Was it the turkey?

You have? I tend to train children not to and would never spend time with grown ups who do.

Are UBU?

Presuming you are not a 6 yr old boy laughing at bum/fart jokes, yes.

Grow up.

stuffing and sprouts mostly cause this, I would say!

How do you train children not to fart?

You can't but you can teach them the basic manners of not farting in front of others.

Same way you train them not to shit on the sofa.

I was windy all day yesterday. If I had to be in the loo every time I trumped, I may as well have taken root in there because they weren't intentional, they just happened with no prior warning. I'm not in the habit of farting in company but was quite unlucky yesterday.

I have never been so glad to be vegetarian.

Vegetarian food never made anyone fart, ever.......

Unlikely the turkey, more the onions & garlic (stuffing & gravies), bread sauce, sprouts, peas, cabbages various - all at once, more than usual & padded up with chocs, dates&figs, xmas pud & rich wines. Not even including fizzy lagers & soft drinks.

FODMAP foods, best for added bloat & winds - www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/

Vegetarian food doesn't make you fart? Really? You've obviously never eaten a red lentil, onion and garlic cheesy bake then 💨💨💨

This is my first totally veggie Christmas and surprisingly I'm the least noxious person in our house so the turkey is definitely a contender!

It's definitely turkey, turkey farts are A Thing in our family. Another good friend refers to RDB (roast dinner botty).

Ha, fabulously, I was being silly/sarcastic. Although it's never actually affected me that way, I once made a soya bean chilli for my flatmate and she was farting so badly she had to take the next day off work

( but that bake sounds delicious!! )

I had a flatmate who was veggie. Their chickpea farts were eyewatering.

You didn't get it from Tesco finest did you?

For me it's the chocolate. After a few days I get sick of the gas and stop eating it.

Rebeccaslicker Our turkey was from the butcher, I'm afraid. Not one of Tesco's victims.

Exactly this, for all of the adults in our family.

But you know in advance when you're going to defecate. Farts just pop out of their own accord.

I farted in the walk in shower and there was nowhere for me or it to go and I almost gagged

In my case it's always the broccoli. But any other component of the roast dinner could easily be to blame.

Farts just pop out of their own accord.

Do they?? mine don't.

I'm not squeamish about bodily functions but you've painted a pretty disgusting picture of you all sitting in a smelly room deliberately farting in it repeatedly

Turkey eaters are the cause of the chorus of bronx cheers.

Blaming the brussel sprouts, is a low and callous act

It is ridiculous to suggest that children can be taught not to fart. Even to hold it in is an unreasonable expectation for more more than a short time.

The unpleasant truth is that it eventually has to come out and the longer you have held it in, the more noxious it will be when you let it out.

That applies to everyone, even the most fragrant and dainty Mumsnet contributors.

The best you can hope is to let it out quietly and blame the Dog.
