Can't stop farting😨

It's very common, honestly - it's because they inflate the colon so they can get a better look during the procedure.

Thanks.more air coming out than ever went in ☺️

Have you tried seeking advice about pre or probiotics that may help settle your gut?

It will pass ...... well it is passing!

Whingey

Since colonoscopy on the 8th.So smelly I wouldn't be surprised if the air changed colour! Has this happened to other people?

I have had several of these procedures but never experienced it lasting so long. Usual 2 days at the most. If it is still happening I would seek help with it, how uncomfortable for you and could also be embarrassing if you are socialising. Sorry you are suffering with this problem.

I have awful wind normally and yes after my colonoscopy it got much worse, also after surgery for gallbladder removal and my radical hysterectomy.

I believe air is pumped into one during procedures of all times to give consultants and surgeons better views inside?

It might be due to the bowel prep medication. Total bowel cleansing, which is the objective pre colonoscopy so the endoscopist can get a clear view, will strip out all the healthy good bacteria (your microbiome).
It’s now time to make sure your colon is repopulated by healthy bacteria. As a previous poster suggested I’d try some probiotics. Something stronger than just live yoghurt. Try a concentrated pro bacteria from a health food shop or pharmacy. There are some you just take for a week to get the bowel flora re-established.

If the wrong bacteria get established or the proportions of good and bad bowel flora are wrong you might find you keep farting.

I think it will get better soon for you.

Revently went through Malaga Airport after a recent holday. It stank of stale farts. Tui Rep says that it always smells like that.

Must be all that Costa del Sol sea food paella abd beer!

I think that diet has a huge effect on your bodily functions.Used to eat a lot of fruit..which i cut down on...

Boots sell daily probiotic tablets recommended by 'Which'. It shouldn't do any harm to try two of those a day for a couple of weeks to get things balanced again.

Boots also do their own brand of anti-wind tablets which pop the bubbles before they get embarrassing. I don't work for Boots!
