DH farting problem ruining relationship

[Tiptopsshape]

So basically what it says on the tin. Married 4 years, everythings fine, really cant conplain at all except for the farting issue. And yes he's had all sorts of tests, diet changes, nothing helps 😣 he's massively self conscious of it, smell is putrid to the point of making me feel sick, and so embarrassing when visiting parents or with friends, I cant seem to get the stench out of the house.
Just to be clear he doesnt eat junk food as im not a fan, we eat healthy, weirdly it seems the more nervous he gets about his flatulence the worse it gets. The weekend was the last straw, I had to sleep downstairs as the smell in our room was disgusting.
He's had a colonoscopy, showed nothing, stool samples etc, theyre saying ibs as he's other wise healthy apart from the putrid farting which is ruining everything.

Well, horses are herbivores.

Lots of herbivores have incisors and canines. Gorillas for example. To grip food. To fight with.

And the bones thing, hate to tell you but it does. Meat makes the blood acidic so our body deals with that by leaching from the bones. If you look into it, cultures where there are higher rates than vegiterian diets, there are low levels of osteoporosis. I mean I guess you could argue weve adapted to eat meat but...not in a way that's good for us I the long run.

But yeah I can see some merit for us being opertunist scavengers and hence, omnivorous...I'm still inclined to Lean towards us being herbivores though.

where on earth have you got this from?

How do you explain shell middens dating back 160k years ago to the present day? That's just one example. As long as we've been human, we've eaten animals, and animal products.

Not necessarily so, and I don't think you really understand how FODMAPS (or the elimination diet) works. While many foods that comprise a vegan WOE do contain high levels of FODMAPS, not all do, and depending on the individual, they can consume some of them. But it's about working out which ones can be eaten, and which should be avoided at all costs. I cannot eat avocado, broccoli, cauliflower, apples, grapes, cherries, watermelon (to name just a few) but am fine with wheat, onions, garlic and leeks, all of which contain FODMAPS and are tiggers for others.

We are all individuals and unique, as our digestive systems. Vegetables that grow above ground are generally fine, as are berries. With regards to other fruits and veg, it's a process of elimination to work out which ones do not cause a reaction. Also, some foods might be fine if eaten sparingly - eg. I cannot eat lactose every day, but if I eat it once a week, am fine.

I remember reading about it a while back.

Did a little search there to see.
My bad, it's calcium, not phosphate.

I see we've reached the Google Science part of the conversation. I'm out. Acidic blood ffs.

Dietician to thread, stat!

Yup. Humans have existed on meat for millions of years. Well before they started eating fruit / veg on a regular basis. Have you ever seen a cave painting depicting the ancient people making a salad? I think not. They're all hunting....

Proper LOL.

It wasnt Google I read it on originally xD I'm just showing you you that it is a thing.

Presumably our blood doesn't get acidic because we've adapted to stop that happening. But the way we've adapted..isn't particularly good for us.

It's not a thing. Look at some actual studies by actual scientists. Primary texts, not an interpretation of them. Just read the abstracts even!

Of course they are hunting! There was sod all else to eat! I'd hazard a guess that half of us would go full cannibal ultimately if we were in caveman times. Just because we do something, doesn't mean its good for us.

Also, I'd hazard a guess that cavemen also pillaged, raped and murdered people so...probably not the best example to base out actions on in a modern world xD

Oh my god you googled something and an organisation set up to promote not eating animals confirmed your bias - it must be true!

Also, if meat wasn't already making our blood 'acidic' (lol) then I'm sure the highly concentrated hydrochloric acid that it drops down into when we eat it probably would.....

You do realise people rape, pillage and murder people now, right?

Hitler was a veggie, bab.

Yup. Humans have existed on meat for millions of years.

If God hadn’t meant us to eat animals, he/she/they wouldn’t have made them so tasty.

Yeah, I mean the human race definitely thrived and evolved into the most sophisticated of all animal species by doing something that 'wasn't good for us'.

Pol Pot was a vegan.

I think the bigger picture to consider is that they thrives on a mainly meat based diet for hundreds of thousands of years. It's unlikely the would have had the strength and stamina to run away from a predictor if they just at rocket leaves and blackberries.

Actually, he wasn't. Apparently his fave food was pigeon pie. Though maybe it doesn't help my cause that I know this xD but it was just on tv the other day.

*theived

Ah FFS *thrived

Well, you never know. Apparently the gladiators were vegetarian!

But yeh i think in cavemen time mèat eating was probably a necessity.

Lovely chaps.

What about in modern times? What about the parts of the world (which quite a lot of world tbh) where people have to eat at least some animal product in order to thrive? Because they can't go down to Tesco and buy almond milk, coconut yoghurt, quinoa, avocados, Marmite, hummus, tofu and all the other things which make a vegan diet a) safe/nutritious and b) enjoyable.

Well one argument would be that meat is largely for the privileged - but much of the animals and indeed, the animals food, tends to be grown in these impoverished countries. Great swathes of their land being taken up by crops that these people will never get to eat.

Which is then sent half way across the world. So that we rich folk can have a burger.

If instead we give them the food or the land to grow food that is used for cattle thry wouldn't have to be dependent on eating meat.
