Just read this by Brian Bilson: ' Bless me father for I have wind.'

Working on the old 'He who smelt it dealt it' principle? Don't forget though,
'He who denied it supplied it'!

First time I’ve heard the reply to the first bit!

Oops there was supposed to be a couple of smiley faces! Not used that bit before!,,

I have read these with interest but my serious interest in the topic has turned to finding some of the posts sooo funny ? ? ?

Going back to the serious side of it all, the question that springs to my mind is why is this occurring as we all get older?

My mum did it, she was hard of hearing so had no idea whatsoever and all my working life I have been a carer and it was part of everyday life ( at work ) but I never digged and delved into why?

Loss of muscle tone? Changes to digestion? I don't know. Maybe it's genetic? My DF was pretty flatulent.

Thank you Aveline..

Cant believe I have asked Mr Google about wind!?!?!?!?!?!?!

It’s definitely down to gut health. I’ve noticed a sharp decrease since eating Keto and losing weight. My gut is healthier and only occasionally do I get wind. Highly processed foods and carbs are the worst! Cabbage and swede etc can make me windy but it’s gone as soon as I’ve digested those foods!

I'd miss farting

I think the word tooting is a nice word for it all, it kind of mellows the embarrassment of the whole carry-on!!!!!!!

Definitely tell the GP if you can actually get to speak to one that is.
Apart from that I’d get some super strong pro biotics tablets and some bio yoghurt and also buy some basic charcoal tablets from the chemist.
My pharmacist told me that products like Windeez contain charcoal and I’d be better off just buying the charcoal tablets as cheaper and more effective.
I get this from time to time and have started avoiding food like raw spinach and trying to do the low a bit of the fodmap diet.
I’ve got diverticulum so I think thst makes me more constipated and windy but I’d ask for a colonoscopy to get checked out. X

I started having this problem years ago when my children were small so it’s not necessarily an age thing. Min started when I took up home made bread baking, lots of luvverly warm whole meal bread! Disaster outs for wine though! Since then I no longer bake my own bread and I. In Fact eat very little bread. No difference. I have tried eliminating certain foods. No difference. I have tried peppermint oil which is fairly good, but only take one! Charcoal helps a tiny bit but will give you black stools!

Any docs on here?
