To have had enough of DH's farts?

[losingit31]

We are staying in a hotel. It's day 6 of 9 and all the time we're in the room, he is passing stinky wind or just farting every five minutes or so. I am looking forward to going home to our house where there's enough space for him to fart at a safe distance.

He sounds repulsive and quite unwell, actually. That's not normal.

I feel your pain.

What is his reaction when you ask him not to?

That would determine whether or not I'd get my own room.

Oh that's not good, is there something wrong with him or just change of water/diet?
I'd be asking him to sit out on the balcony and let rip there if he was mine.
I've just had a few days away camping with friends and made sure to go outside when I felt wind was on its way...

I feel your pain. Dh is lactose intolerant and continues to eat cheese.

That’s repulsive. Does he have any excuse - a bug, food not agreeing with him?

Annoying? Yes! Controllable? No - not without help. Farting is a natural bodily function, caused normally by digesting something that has been consumed, or by swallowing air.
But… it could also point to an underlying health condition, so if the level of flatulence is normal for DH, he should really get it checked out. In the interim, you could get some over-the-counter bloating medication for him - having to pass gas is likely quite painful/uncomfortable for him.
Genuine question: do you never experience flatulence?

That would give me the ick

Has he drunk more alcohol while in holiday? Fermentation causes production of CO2. DH on holiday levels of sweet cider farted to criminal levels after a couple of days so I cut him off. He’s never been allowed that amount again.

Don’t tell me stomach acid prevents fermentation. I know what I lived through.

Too much sugar / white bread/ pastries / white pasta / lager / cider other beige type food causing his gut bacteria to produce gas. Try and get him to have a breakfast of yoghurt, berries not sugary fruit, seeds, and possibly eggs and vegetables it will stop the farts and set him up for a better day of food choices 😉even if lactose intolerant the yoghurt is low lactose.

@papadontpreach2me
Has he tried Lactase tablets? They really help with the digestion of dairy. Just take one when eating the dairy food.

Can he not go to the lavatory/balcony to fart? Ask him to.

Oh, you may stop at repulsive...
😐

Regardless of cause, go to the bathroom.

Ask him to consider giving up lactose for a while and see if it helps. That was the case for my DH. He’s fine as long as he doesn’t have dairy (or not too much at any rate). He has the lactose free milk and he doesn’t really like cheese anyway so doesn’t have that.

I would not even want to sleep next to him. It can't be normal to fart that much.

It’s repulsive in many ways:

1. openly doing so without removing yourself from other people beforehand. I hope he at least acknowledges or apologises?
2. continuing to do so without implementing the above
3. not wondering why it is happening - where’s the self awareness??
4. not making changes to fix it

All would give me the ick and by the time we’ve got to stage 4 I would be very turned off him. Farting is normal but lack of consideration is not. I went through a phase of horrendous farts and guess what?? I took all the above steps, cut out gluten and voila problem solved. The ‘it’s natural, there’s nothing I can do about it!’ Is very enraging.
