Excessive gas whenever I'm in a public place.

[ihavenoreasontobealiverightnow]

I have been dealing with this problem for nearly 3 years and have posted on several forums ,unfortunately  I never got any reasonable answers.

For the past 3 years I have been dealing with excessive gas ( aka farting ) whenever I am in a public place. The farting immediately stops as soon as I am alone at home. This happens at school every freaking day. When I'm sitting next to or in front of somebody the farting increases , whenever I'm near somebody the farting increases , the closer I am to a person the more I fart. If I'm sitting alone in class in an isolated part of the classroom I don't fart at all , but as soon as someone comes near me or tries to talk to me I start farting. The farting is always silent and I can never smell my farts for some reason but everyone else can , I know that sounds crazy but it's true , I have HEARD people talking about me several times about how I fart a lot.  If you check my profile you will see that I posted on another post a few months ago with a guy who had the same problem , I've been doing research on the internet and found that there are  several forums and sites with a lot of people who have the same problem , but on  NONE of those forums has anyone posted an answer to what this problem is and how it can be fixed. If you are reading this and know ANYTHING that can help me PLEASE TELL ME. If there are no answers to this then f*** it , I'm tired of researching every single day trying to find an answer , life is meaningless without any friends , life is meaningless when you sit alone all day and are mocked at , if there are no answers to this problem then I'll create my own answer by killing myself.

Hi, I am going threw the exact same thing.  It was late 2016 (I was in yr 8) about 3-4 weeks near the end of term 4, I started feeling gassy a few times at school. Then it became much worse. Every time I go to school and sit down with people, I need to pass gas. Every minute and second of the day while I'm sitting down. I found a way to calm it a little. I would shake my legs while sitting. It calms it a little. But I know it annoys people when they feel there tables are shaking. I went to the doctors the first time and they said I was just constipated. I knew it was more then that. I went on laxatives for a few weeks but it didn't change anything. I went to a second doctor and they were asking questions about my symptoms and if anything makes it worse. I would get bad pains in my stomach because of how bloated I was for not passing gas. He told me to buy a box of sachets (can't remember the name) and a syrum. Nothing changed. I would try and miss most days of school. When I'm at school I would always have an excuse to leave the class just to go to the bathroom and let it out or go toilet. I would wag the periods when I have tests because I'm not aloud to leave the classroom. When I started seeing a physiologist she was asking questions of what happens when I'm nervous and if anything has changed. I told her I've been having gas only when I'm around other people. She said it was anxiety. Whenever I am home I am perfectly normal. I don't need to pass gas. But if someone comes over, then I need to. I'm still trying to find a solution to the problem. Your not alone and I'm releaved I'm not the only one going threw this. Keep me updated if you find anything to help stop or calm it down

If you read my last post, it is proven that the situation does not occur for him,  so it was all imagination. continue working with your doctor and physiologist spelling?) or whatever health professional you saw before..

Not sure this problem you stated isn't just in your head. You say that your farting is people driven however this doesn't make  sense to me, so you have to see a doctor to discuss whether that really happens. No one on a forum can diagnose your farting timing.

However, you can try beano, an OTC pill, that improves digestion to reduce farting, You take it per the package instructions, just before you start to eat.

Your claim that " The farting is always silent and I can never smell my farts for some reason but everyone else can" proves that you wouldn't be able to detect it when you do the same thing alone, so you are just guessing that it is restricted to social anxiety.  I won't respond to this thread any more.

Be sure to mention this part to the doctor so he has all the information.
