I know this is probably a big problem with a lot of us, right??? I know with me, it is quite embarrassing. Every friend or b/f Ive had I have farted in front of lots of times and every time I just try to laugh it off. But they still get sooo irritated and sometimes dont want to be around me. It's frusterating, not only for them but for me too. What about everyone else, what kind of experiences have YOU had with this problem. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif" border="0"><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

the farting question....easy answer for me. I do not do it front of my wife, nor does she in front of me. Since she is a nurse she would be used to such things but we just don't do it. It is a pet peeve of mine, when I look at her I see sugar and spice and everything nice and I don't want to think of how bad she can smell. I actually "use" the downstairs bathroom because I don't want her to smell me true potential. I am sure this statement will probably get me beat up but, I personally think it is bad manners. I would never do it around a woman and do not want them to do it around me. Now, around my brother or guy friends it is on like donky kong though!
So to answer your question, there is nothing wrong with excusing yourself and farting in private and your problem goes away.

My fiancee is pretty good about it. He understands it is just part of the disease. I try not to do it in front of him, but sometimes it can't be helped. To be honest, I usually feel more embarassed doing it around my friends, who certainly do not know me as intimately as my fiancee.

My partner has found it kind of liberating. She has never done that in front of anyone, and now it's just no big deal when she farts in front of me. My friends are great about it. They understand, and try to help me actually. A friend of mine recommended acidoupholous (sp) which is great to to take care of some of the gas, and relieves some of the pain.
A friend of mine is kind of funny, because a lot of the time I am not right away aware that I farted. So, like if we are in the car she just rolls down the window, and I look at her, "did I do something?" She just kind of giggles and rolls it back up. Same thing if I am over at her house, and she smells something and there's a few people over, she opens the porch sliding door and turns on a fan briefly as people just keep talking. Then I am like.."oh, " I looked at her and she smiles.
My friend and I in general are really great about it. The understand that it is painful, it's not like I like it at all. Although, because of stomach has so many problems, more than my lungs sometimes, I have choosen different jobs because of that factor. For instance, I can't do desk jobs, not that I really want to, but it's too painful. I have to eat really light all day, and stay away from any foods that are at all substanitial or have fat in them. I would have tuna sandwiches without anything mixed in, on a bun. A nutrition bar is fine, a banana is safe. Overall, I have to have a job that I am on my feet on and off, because it's hurts to sit down for the whole day. I just would make many trips to the bathroom, copier, or whatever. In work situations it can be a problem. I am very aware of it when I am working. If I am up and down I don't have a huge problem with it usually.
In that way it sux, and it really stunk when I was younger. It's me and farts to the end. I can't help it, so if people can't deal with it or don't love me enough to realize and be empathetic enough to understand that it's a health condition then they can go away. But, my true circle of friends love me no matter what. They aren't perfect and have problems with other health related situations, so they get it. I will say, many of my friends are older or pretty mature overall, I connect with people better that get what life is about.

I say anyone who gets irritated by farting can just go to hell. =-) I'm talking about the people who act like they've never made a stink before. Luke's thing with being polite, I can understand, I guess. As for me, I just fart whenever I please. =-) There's no room in my life for people who get upset by farting, anyway.
Of course, i wasn't always this way. I used to get embarrassed by it and such, but then I just stopped caring

It's kinda gross but i've actually learned how to make it so they're not loud... it just kinda... smells a little... I used to hate farting in front of boyfriends. Especially if they laugh and tell me it's "cute".. that used to just make it more embarassing for me. But my boyfriend now, i just don't care maybe because we were really good friends before, i dunno. I'll tell him everytime, even if he can't hear it, for my own amusement. Also when he sleeps he farts, and he always only does it when his butt is facing me, so this is my way of getting back at him, you fart on me at night, and in the morning i have no problemes telling you about the major gas problems i'm having today.

Its kind of funny that this topic came up at this time...I was watching Oprah the other day...and there was a doctor on there that was talking about several different health issues....and flatulence came up. He said that everyone should pass gas 16 times a day...it is normal. If you arent...then something is wrong. Unfortunately, I know ours dont smell very good...and I too am one that is embarrassed about it around people....except with my husband. He understands that it can really hurt my stomach if I dont...but I too try to go in the other room when I have to...but sometimes it just cant be helped!

My Mike is actually proud of that part of me. He doesn't know any other girl that can out-fart all his guy friends... including the big fat hairy guy. lol He tends to brag about how I can belch and fart with the best of 'em. It's funny.

If I got up and left the room evertime I had to let one go I'd never make it through a movie/meal/conversation.
My boyfriend of 3 years also thinks its funny, I frequently hear things like "What died?!", "Run away!" and "How can such a big smell come out of such a tiny person?" All in good fun of course. Besides although his usually don't smell much if at all, when they do smell he doesn't fool around!

I have never laughed so much about one post. I love this topic. In fact, I fit right in because last night I ate brocolli, cauliflower, and celery followed by a can of Coke.
I used to never fart in front of my husband but he kept begging me to do it. So one day, when my sister and her entire family were over, I went over to my husband and as he looked in the lazy susan, I farted on his head. I loved it. It's become a passion ever since. I love to straddle his head and fart on it. Of course I run away laughing. It's so awesome. We also critique the noises. He farts SO much and I'm the one with CF. I'm still waiting for the day I have a really SMELLY FART. I can't wait to let that one out and let it linger for him to 'enjoy'.
Be yourself. If someone doesn't like it.....too bad!
Good luck,
Kelli

oh Kelli that is just too funny!! haha good on you!!
when me and my boyfriend first got together i was so embarrassed to fart in front of him but now i let one rip whenever i need to! he has no shame in farting in front of me so i tihnk well why should i?!?
i think of course naturally you may feel uncomfortable at first, but after a while, i guess it sort of becomes like coughing- it's something you just do!! me and my boyfriend have competitions, we go crazy and end up in fits of laughter...pretty gross but very hilarious!!
but on the other hand some people don't like it and that's fine too- just excuse yourself, leave the room, whenever you don't want your partner to hear/smell you.
so yeah...to answer the original question, my boyfriend is fine with it. actually, come to think of it, the first time i farted in front of him it was great cos it made me realise how comfortable i am with him!

Okay Kelli, I'm seriously sitting here trying to stop laughing so I don't start coughing. Hahahaaaa. I love it. But yeah, me and Mike critique the noises too. Mine often sound like weird birds or ducks, or some animal in pain/dying. lol
I LOVE THE REPLIES I got on this topic. Thanks everyone <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> Anyway, I didnt really fully comment yet on it. Ive learned to understand that when I DONT take Ultrase with meals, or for me (with just about everything I eat) I fart nonstop ALL DAY> Well I have finally found the perfect job for it. I work in a vet hospital and am constantly around animals......So, hey, Blame it on the dog right! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif" border="0"> We also have air freshener bottles EVERYWHERE so Im always spraying it behind me <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0"> I havent had the blame on me yet! Anyway, Im glad I could make a topic that everyone could enjoy. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">
you just deal with it. an expert dr said, the average person should fart 16 times a day. so start counting, thats what we do sometimes. or go to the store and fart next to the person u are with, and stink the place up, and run to the next isle,and everyone look at me funny. my bf likes doing that!!!!!!!!!
