Stress and farting

[joshsick]

Hi, I'm having problems with farting. It's been years now, I'm always farting whenever I sit down with a group of friends or beside strangers on the bus or in the cinema. It just wierd I would just feel the urge to fart. Is something wrong with me? I can't seem to control it and this caused me to lose my friends...

hey! Finally I found someone who has the same problem as me! This farting problem is driving me crazy! I'v been suffering this nightmare for 4 years now! I went to many doctors, I tried every diet, took medicines... but nothing worked!! I'm pretty sure that the excessive farting is related to stress; because I start farting whenever I'm in class, around strangers or friends.. And especially in Winter; the bad weather made it worse! I can't concentrate in class, and I always feel the need to escape classes or go to the restroom to avoid bothering my classmates with the bad smell... Although, when I go out I don't fart!!!! I REALLY NEED HELP WITH THAT

I too suffer from severe social farting. Seated at work I am a continuous gasbag. It is definitely abnormal peristalsis in the large colon. If I get up suddenly from my workstation to go to the bathroom to fart, I can feel the stools moving rapidly back up the colon as well as the gas. Then I'm hanging around in the bathroom for ages waiting to clear the gas and it won't come! As soon as I am seated at my workstation again, the stinky gas is there again in my rectum. Its absolutely infuriating - and very disruptive to my working day.

I have found that brassica vegetables are a principal trigger - if I knock all cabbage, brussels sprouts, broccoli, calabrese etc out of my diet, I fart far less. Its unfortunate that these are particularly healthy vegetables - and I like eating them. I am considering getting my doctor to refer me to a dietitian to develop a healthy diet without the sulphur-containing compounds that make the smelliest gas.I tried the charcoal tablets for a while. I had black stools - and still farted, so gave up with that.

I think the reason cause this is  the large intestine  move much quickly than normal.  So the air in the intesine is pushed to the anus all the time  when we feel nervous. when we are stay along ,we relax, so the large intestine  doesn't push the air . But how we can cut off the move when we feel nervous. It 's we should study objet.
