girltwink,

My gf almost never farts. She’s given me a complex about it, i stg. She says she trained herself not to by sheer willpower, and in spite of living together for almost 2 years, I’ve only caught her like twice.

Dettweiler42,

The rare farters always release it all in their sleep.

She says she trained herself not to by sheer willpower

Does she burp a lot instead? Maybe she's pumping it back up the other way. Kind of like how railguns vs. blasters work lore-wise in EVE Online:

Consists of two components: a shell of titanium and a core of antimatter atoms suspended in plasma state. Railguns launch the shell directly, while particle blasters pump the plasma into a cyclotron and process the plasma into a bolt that is then fired.

girltwink,

Omg 😆 that’s a spectacular reference in this context. I miss eve online.

feifei,

Anything animal based like beef and pork. Also your poop will be dark brown and small. Win win

In case you really want to do this, research on how to get into carnivore first. You probably will get the shits first if you get in head on first. But after that, it’s almost no gas and no poop

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,

That sounds like constipation

feifei,

You can’t eject what you don’t create.

realcaseyrollins,

To a certain degree, yes; either burp more, or eat food that is easier to digest.

If you're avoiding fast food, pears, beans etc. and you're still coming across this issue, you may want to check with your doctor and see if you have any digestive issues

tunetardis,

All I can say is don’t take metformin if you’re worried about farting. Otoh I’ve been reading that it’s something of a wonder drug that extends your life expectancy and quality of life, though perhaps at others’ expense where the latter is concerned…

Otherwise, I do know of a Japanese folk remedy that involves cooking any bean dish with some kombu–a type of hard dried seaweed not to be confused with the rather faddy kombucha, which I think is made from mushrooms or some kind of yeast? You don’t even have to eat the kombu but toss it aside like a bayleaf, though it is edible. Then again, there is always beano.

rickdgray,

Gut ecology is complex and everyone’s is different and it changes over time and with age and when you have to take antibiotics, etc. There’s no one sure-fire way to just eliminate it.

snailwizard,

In short, no. To explain: you have a bunch of beneficial bacteria living inside your digestive tract. These little guys help you digest your food, and in return they get a free meal. This basically means that the food you eat ferments into poo. Fermentation always results in gas being released (think how the plastic wrap on a bowl of dough can puff up as it proves.) So to sum it up, unless you drank a strict water-only diet, anything you eat can give you gas. (Even then, you would probably still naturally swallow some air with the water, and some would make it to the other end as a fart.)

So we go to no pooping for 3 days to now someone wants to stop farting. What is going on here in lemmy?

Ooo good band name

That first guy went 3 days and then posted a follow-up looking for constipation relief.

Seems that opened the floodgates. 😏

Our stop up the dam more likely.😹

DigitalGringo,

The whole30 diet did that and more for me!

My auntie swore by taking charcoal tablets. We just suspected she’d gone deaf.

Algaroth,

Did she buy black underwear or dye them herself?

Emperor,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

I believe she spray painted them.

evatronic,

Old people don’t fart. Instead of a distinct fart event, it’s more of a constant, low pressure leak.

Valmond,

Cyanid comes to mind.

throw4w4y5,

I can guarantee that if you drank pure petroleum and ate quicklime then you would spend the rest of your life without worrying about farts.

Emperor,
@Emperor@feddit.uk avatar

But if you sharted it’d be like napalm.

Conyak,

It’s not possible to never fart but you can do things to reduce gas in your intestines. Here is an article about it. Sounds pretty miserable to me.

SpaceNoodle,

I’d rather fart and be happy than smell nice in misery.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

If you really wanted the best of both worlds, you could get those underwear inserts that hide the smell.

ActualShark,

The strange items humanity comes up with for very specific problems never cease to amaze me

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

They even have a blanket for similar purposes (fart concealment) and it’s called “the marriage blanket.” Cause farts ruin your marriage, allegedly. Haven’t ruined mine, but what do I know.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

There’s this mineral you can eat called bismuth subgallate that works as an internal deodorant. It’s sold under the brand name devrom. Haven’t tried it, but heard good things.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Things I learn on Lemmy, for real. “It’s like Febreeze but for your insides.”

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

Have they used “It’s a breathmint for your butthole” yet?

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

That would be genius marketing right there. I already ordered some online. Can’t wait to smell my own farts.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

The only reason I haven’t bought some is because I’m poor. Hey devrom guys I just got you a sale. Send me some.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Lmao, I know what you mean, it was like $20 for what I assume is a monthly supply but I didn’t even look. I’m definitely never buying this again but damn, I had to try it once!

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, the stuff works! It’s chewable tablets, banana flavored. You’re supposed to take several throughout the day, starting with 2. So, naturally, I threw 6 down my gullet to begin with. You know, for science.

Next morning, I took a vile shit. Just, crime-against-humanity levels of vileness. It didn’t smell at all. Just… nothing. Farts? No smell. Whatsoever.

I’m in awe. There is no way I would use this product for daily life (too expensive, too much hassle), but for specific situations (spending time in close quarters with friends or brand new significant other before you broke the poop/fart seal).

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I just want to find a way to get my insurance to pay for it. I’m missing some body parts in my GI tract so I have several crime-against-humanity plops a day. My neighbors would probably be grateful for it.

ickplant,
@ickplant@lemmy.world avatar

Sucks that they won’t cover it. Insurance companies are a scourge on this earth. If you do decide to try it, devrom’s own website is the cheapest at like $13 a bottle.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I’m legit thinking of just getting some pure bismuth whatever it is and compounding some myself cheaper, but meh. I’m really lazy sometimes.

Nemo,

Farts don’t have to smell bad. This is something you can change with diet. In particular, avoiding animal products will help. But if you go completely vegan, then your sweat will smell weird, so it’s a trade-off.
