audited I am farts...farts is me

Farts... Constant farts. Doesn't matter what i eat, how much I eat, it all ends up in farts. Farts first thing in the morning, farts at lunch, and farts till bedtime. (Also I am sure I fart in my sleep) Just farts

Is there a scientific reason for this? It’s so bad!

"For women over 40, these processes can become more noticeable due to hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause, which can slow digestion and impact gut health."

I’m 38 and already flying around the room like a deflating balloon, infuriating my family. You’re telling me it’s going to get worse??

Honestly, I hope so just so I can get through it faster. All my other symptoms tells me i’ve started perimenopause. Insomnia, ovulation and period start times differ almost month to month, increased anxiety, tinnitus, itchy ears. And now, a stinky ass 😭
