I hardly pass wind anymore

[EatsYummySprouts]

As the title says, I hardly pass wind anymore. Call it fart or trump or fluff if you like, but I just can‘t.

The only time I managed today, was in my teenage daughter‘s new BMW, and she was not amused!

This is a serious post, I eat healthily, but am 55 and am in the menopause years. I am on HRT.

My stomach is very swollen, and sometimes it seems to happen overnight. I do have a low functioning thyroid, borderline, so do not need to take meds at this time, but am considering it.

Any helpful advice very welcome, thanks.

AIBU to think this is not right and something is wrong with me

YANBU it is normal at your age don’t worry

Try buying fennel seeds and making loose tea with them. Drink it a few times a day for a few days and go for a daily walk

Are your bowel movements still normal for you? Unexplained weightloss? Any change in them such as not passing wind should get checked out by your GP.

See your gp. The swelling sounds like it could be bloating, so you should have your ovaries checked out to make sure it is nothing more serious.

I think you should buy a new BMW.

It will probably all be coming out when you are asleep, there are stretchs etc to help release trapped wind if you are bloated with it
