do you eat too quickly?
could it be ibs?
what's your diet like?
do you get enough fluids?

WindyEnd · 05/11/2008 12:42

Diet isnt too bad,im veggie so eat lots of veg and high fibre foods.I dont think i eat too fast.Fluids could be better but even when i have upped the water it makes no difference.
The windy fanjo bothers me the most.

Are you a HaHoo?

Seriously, sounds like you have had a stomach bug and it's left you with some intestinal irritation. It'll pass - ha pass, like gas lol

You always fart if you have constipation btw, it's because the bowel has a lot of gas which has nowhere else to go because there is a big poo in the way. Eat some dried apricots and down a few pints of water and you'll have a big poo and feel better.

you're just an old windbag...

sudden onset or been creeping up on you?
anything to provoke change of lower geography, like childbirth/pregnancy?
new energetic boyfriend?

Uriel · 05/11/2008 12:44

Have you changed your diet recently?

Windy fanjo - poor muscle tone?

missingtheaction · 05/11/2008 12:44

is the wind really coming out of your fanjo or just creeping round from elsewhere? (sorry but you started it)
does it come out by itself or only during sex at most passionate moments?

whomovedmychocolate · 05/11/2008 12:45

Ah now I hadn't seen the windy fanjo bit - how are your stomach and pelvic floor muscles. If your fanny farts when you move, you have crap pelvic floor muscles and you can exercise them. If it farts when the rest of you farts, you could have a fistula (a small hole between your bum and your fanjo) which is leaking - that needs seeing to pronto.

Stop the high fibre foods for a few days and just stick to soft fruits - plus lots of liquid and preferably if you can stomach it, just water - no tea or coffee.

WindyEnd · 05/11/2008 12:49

The wind comes out of my fanjo as well as bumhole.It happens randomly but often when i try to hold in wind when in company.

It has been going on for 8 months now.
Havent recently had a baby.

Vegetarians do fart more- you have a higher fibre diet than us cow scoffers.

Have you tried eating a bit slower - can make a huge difference. Put the knife and fork down between each mouthful and see if you can take at least twenty minutes to finish your dinner and see if that helps.

If that doesn't work, call a plumber to fix the leak

WindyEnd · 06/11/2008 12:30

Will try chewing the cud more slowly then
Still may make a Gp appointment though .

WINDY FANJO!!!!! NEVER HEARD OF THAT!

littlestrawberry · 06/11/2008 12:49

Wish I could see you Gp's face when you reel off those symptoms

For what its worth DS2 is 4 and I still have a windy fanjo

WindyEnd · 06/11/2008 12:51

Can i ask how you deal with your windy fanjo whilst in public?

OP posts:
littlestrawberry · 06/11/2008 13:17

My problem maybe different to yours, I had a radical hysterectomy 3 years ago, now have no cervix amongst other things and the top of my vagina is sewn up so....bit of a cave up there

I have to say its not a problem all the time, worse during exercise which I avoid like the plague. Can be a bit embarrassing during sex but DH has been with me a very long time, he saw the size of the dc's, he was there for my cancer surgery so basically even if he thought it he wouldn't dare say anything.

I avoid yoga like the plague Last really embarrassing moment I had was a smear test. Wanted to die but just glad I haven't seen the same woman again.

rectocele?

WindyEnd · 10/11/2008 21:58

Ok have been thinking about my issues down below and am getting worried now.
When i do go to the loo the poo isnt as hard (sorry tmi )as you would expect constipated poo to be.It just wont come out.
Also for months and months and months my periods have been irregular coming on 14 days after finishing my period,and i am covered in spots for most of the month .Not to mention zero libido.I didnt go for my 6 month repeat smear(asked to because it took 3 attempts to get sufficiant cells last time) because i dont know when i will be in my cycle.

CuddlyToy · 10/11/2008 22:33

When you say about your poo not coming out, that is a surprise if you are on a fairly high fibre diet (I would have thought anyway) and with the pelvic floor suggestions as well it might be worth looking at muscular probs?

Definitely a frank discussion with gp required...s/he will have heard it all before even the windy fanjo

otterchocdog · 10/11/2008 22:35

WindyEnd - ask for an appt with a female GP. Sometimes constipation doesn't make hard poo - could be problem with muscle tone (whats that thing called where the muscles move every down?) Better than worrying or endless speculating. It will more than likely turn out to be fixable - maybe you will get some of those groovy fanjo weights if you are lucky.
