I'm desperate, please help me fart before I explode

Yesterday I had a flexible siggy camera thing up my arse. For anyone not familiar with these, they pump your intestines full of air in order to get the camera around.

After the procedure I looked 6 months pregnant and could not fasten my (usually too big) jeans.

I had a few farts, it went down a bit but was still very uncomfortable.

Today I was fine until I ate a sandwich at lunch, then it bloated right up again. No farts at all today and after having my tea, I now look 9 months pregnant. I'm so uncomfortable, walking around in pyjama bottoms, can't get comfortable on the sofa as my belly is in the way. I'm desperate to fart.

I will pay for any meds, food or drink anyone can recommend??! I feel like I'm going to burst. It's bordering on painful.

Thanks - it’s actually my phone / accidental fart poetry Grin

stopfuckingshoutingatme · 25/05/2018 21:37

OP have you farted ? 🙏

DeadButDelicious · 25/05/2018 21:38

Trapped wind is the worst, you have my sympathies. Windeze (or windyfartblast as I call it) always works for me.

Crouch right down on the floor with knees to your chest

AngeloMysterioso · 25/05/2018 21:39

On all fours, lower chest to the ground, bum in the air, rock backwards and forwards

3 pints of real ale usually does it for me.

What worked for me after surgery: cut a clove or two of garlic into small peices, put them in your mouth in one go and drink them with a sip of water. DO NOT chew. Just swallow. It took me about 45 minutes to start to get it out slowly. Few hours later, I repeated it. Hope you feel better soon. It sounds painful.

Whyohwhy65 · 25/05/2018 21:48

Placemarking. I need to know if you farted Grin

Peppermint helped me fart and burp my way down from in pain and inflated after my c section.

Kittykat93 · 25/05/2018 21:49

Waiting for an update! Hope you're currently sitting in a cloud of your own stench Grin

ChasedByBees · 25/05/2018 21:50

I wonder how many other people are scrolling for the fart?

8pinksnails · 25/05/2018 21:51

@ChasedByBees 🤣😂 meeee!

This pose is amazing for farts. I’ve used it many times.

Followed by browsing magazines or books in a shop. The stimulation then relaxation will make you (suddenly) need a big farty poop!

I love how specific this is Grin

Good luck OP, downward dog always works for me

My great-grandmother swore by a single teaspoon of brandy for wind, especially for children who ate too many raw peas.

Bold fail Angry

sparkling123 · 25/05/2018 21:53

@chasedbybees @pinknails - I so did this after reading the first 5 comments, not sure why but glad to know I’m not the only one who is curious.

Visit the queen. Grin

Also alternating between these two positions, a shoulder stand, and a good abdominal massage, will have you farting like a brewery horse in no time.

Please see a doctor. This can be dangerous

BlackberryandNettle · 25/05/2018 22:00

Peppermint tea and a walk, or up and down stairs is good
