does ANYONE have the same problem after eating Bran Flakes?
ate them constantly whilst pregnant as couldnt eat much else and was fine, but about 4 months ago, started buying them again and they had this rather unfortunate effect!!! i was eating a big bowlful for brekkie and another one for tea/supper, so i thought it was the amount, but it wasnt!!!!
had a bowl two days ago (as we have two large boxes still in cupboard!) and i am still paying for it (and DP...pheeew!)
but i luuurve branflakes, what can i do?

LOL at slag dictionary. I can only imagine the entries you'd find in there (fnarr!).

lou33 · 14/10/2004 21:23

I dunno sunny, ask bunglie

Bunglie · 14/10/2004 21:24

Well I don't personally have a furry botty, (Lou33 might though!) however we had a dog that used to do it, well everyone blamed the dog....hence it became known as coughed in his fur and it developed from there....

Go on how many of you blame the dog then?
Or do one in the lift, sniff and look disaprovingly at everyone else to throw the blame off yourself?

sunchowder · 14/10/2004 21:25

Geez Lou, I thought you knew! You do know so many things you brilliant Lou You! So...Bunglie, so you have to have a hairy ass or what? Anything to do with trees then?

sunchowder · 14/10/2004 21:27

Thank you Bunglie! I've never had a dog to blame it on! I've never farted in a lift before either! I have urinated in one though, but thank god no one else was in it! (little too much to drink...)

Bunglie · 14/10/2004 21:33

Sunchowder...thats below the belt!
I need my bed, good night and happy 'coughing'

Sorry EvesMama, everyone went off on a diatribe about bottom burping/trumping/prumping/farting/coughing in one's fur (!)/burpbumbums/parps and no-one addressed your original question in a serious and considered manner.

I have taken this onerous responsibility upon myself and have come up with two possible solutions:

  1. Stop eating Bran Flakes (they taste like cardboard anyway and are far too healthy - have a fried egg butty instead).

  2. Get a large cork and stopper up the offending orifice.

I am sorry that everyone else failed to take your dilemma seriously and I hope you are not put off posting about your problems in future - I apologise for my fellow MNers

Sunchowder were you pg at the time....?

You Pg ladies might be interested to know that it is Legal for a 'Pregnant woman to urinate in the street or a public place'. I can't say I ever have!

cor bunglie is that right?

had baked beans on sweet potatoes the other night. the results were utterly dire - like sitting on a hovercraft all night. but have always been pretty windy, esp when vegetarian. try black pudding instead of bran flakes?

Bunglie · 15/10/2004 10:44

I have a very old nursing book and it explains the aparatus for making and inserting a 'flatulance tube' so that the amount you 'pass' can be measured! I could send you the instructions and you could walk around witha tube hanging out of your botty, so all the 'gas' gets collected in the jar and you could then send it to lou33 for christmas....What an 'explosive present' that would be?

I can't believe that in the 1920's they really did things like this...uhg!

On a real note, you can get something called 'Anal plugs' they come in a water soluable plastic and look like a small tampon. You insert it into the anus and the moisture and the warmth makes the plastic disolve and they expand like a foam shaped 'cup' that fits neetly inside. You can get them in two sizes and they come with a special lubricant, as a water based one like KY would disolve the 'wrapping' and they are made by a company called Conveen.

This is a serious product but only available on prescription!

JoolsToo · 15/10/2004 10:45

try linseeds on ordinary cereal - they don't have the bloating effect of bran - make you 'go' regularly AND - you don't fart as much (well I don't ) on the downside you make keep finding an odd seed stuck to your teeth throughout the day

Bunglie · 15/10/2004 10:46

Oh forgot to add that they have a 'string' on so you can remove them when in a convenient place!

Twinkie · 15/10/2004 10:47

DP has them each day at work for brekkie and am I glad that he is at work and not at home - baked beans and fruit and fibre also have this effect - it is yucky!!

I never parped in front of DP until I got pregnant and now I just don't care and blame it on this baby pushing all my bits down!!
