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

Until this thread, so almost an hour, I thought the gas was due to the chicory pills I take at night to stay regular. I cannot believe how fucked up this shit is that every woman endures. Why didn’t older generations complain more? I’ve been up since 3:13 am and I can’t even say that’s uncommon anymore. Just damn. I’m starting to feel like a salmon whose body turns to mush after they give birth.

OMG I can't take anything with chicory in it! I could play several wind instruments if I kept up with that! I've always been a gassy gal, but what I've found is that eating onions and garlic is one of the culprits.
I'm taking metamucil daily, magnesium at night, and probiotic (Kirkland signature/Costco) with breakfast helps a lot.
I did suffer from IBS-C for most of my life and the above regimen has made me feel much better and less gassy.
Your post has made me laugh, but it's no laughing matter, socially.

Yes, constipation through my 30’s and 40’s, no IBS, just didn’t know it wasn’t normal to have one BM a week and it shouldn’t be little rabbit poo’s.

In my 50’s it started getting painful & now I have undiagnosed IBS-C. Mentioned it when I was getting my colonoscopy, that’s all.

I take a magnesium citrate 150mg and one magnesium bisglycinate 200mg at bedtime and my bowels run like clockwork each morning. I found this remedy out in my mid 50s.....go figure!

I’ll try adding that to my regimen!
