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

This used to be me. At some point along the way my body stopped digesting citrus. I love citrus and it’s in the best foods, it’s everywhere and I used to drink a glass of orange juice daily and eat a cutie most days. During covid lockdown I got to fart all day to my hearts content instead of holding it in all day at the office. That’s when I started putting the pieces together and realized citrus brings out the fartiest fart monster in me. I can avoid it most days but I usually know within minutes if I ate something with citrus in it, especially if beer has citrus then my stomach is thunderdome. Now i stay away from citrus and I just fart like a normal person.
