alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi, I hope I didnt do this wrong. I have a embarasing problem. When I get nervous (like out on a date) i get alot of gas- I mean I fart alot. It dosent seem to matter what I eat or dont eat or anything like that. I went to the dr. and he said to avoid certian food and to drink alot of water and to take something like digel with sethicone. I did those things but no diference. It is starting to effect my confidance. I am resonably good looking and dont yet have any problem getting dates. Matter of fact the guys I have been out with recently seem to think its funny but I dont. Who really wants to be around somone who farts like a whopee cushoin at a 12 yr olds birthday party? Theres no smell (yet) but I dont want to wait for that to happen. PLeez Help! Link to post Share on other sites
hulavie Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 LOL.... Can you hold your gas in and let it out slowly and quietly? Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi. sometimes yes but not all the time. If it happens atall its still bad enough and I am really geting very frustated.

I wanted to die. They just laughed and turned around. It's not funny anymore if it everwas. PLeez give me some ideas !! Thanx for your help.. Link to post Share on other sites
dyermaker Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Blame it on him. Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Its hard to blame it on him when anybody in 5 feet can hear where it comes from. I told my mom about this and surprise surprise she just laughed at me. I dont chew with my mouth open or pee my pants in public so why is this so funny to everyone? Its getting to the point where I dont want to be around people anymore and Im relly tired of geting laughed at about it. I think the dr. was laughing (to himself) about it too and thats why he gave me the wothless advise he did. Do you have any sugggestions at all? Help!! ps what's DYERMAKER?

hulavie Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I've heard that garlic pills makes people release a lot of gas.... Maybe you could tell your doc that 'you have a lot of gas in your tummy and feel bloated, how do you get some gas out' instead of 'i fart a lot. how do i stop' Ack! I don't have the answers.

Find a doctor who can behave professionally? ps what's DYERMAKER? It's a zeppelin song--it's on Houses of the Holy (1973). Sheryl Crow has a version too. It's pronounced "jamaica", but "dire mayker" is probably the best I could hope for. Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Thanks. When I talked to the dr. I didnt say 'fart' I just said I had a lot of gases maybe a nervous stomach. He said their is really no such thing, its probably my diet. I told him what my diet was ( I usully eat salads and not alot of fried food or junk) and he gave me the whole water and digel spiel which would be ok if it worked. I guess I just got the impression from his attitude that my problem was kid of a jokeand not serious. He also told me to stay away from brocoli and beans. I dont eat those very often anyway, so big deal. This has been going on for about 1 and a half months now and I am about a '9' on the pissed meter. Should I go back to the same dr. again or try somone else or what, I am running out of optons getting upset, and that just makes it worse. Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks dyermaker, I am in college, and I have to just go to the infirmary (money) so I guess I just take what I get. I can't afford to go find a specilist or anything like that, Im working my way through school. I dont think his behavior is very professional at all, but I guess I'm just screwed. My roommate did turn me on to something called 'beano' I guess Ill see if that works. Please keep yur fingers crossed-I would kind of like to have my life back. Link to post Share on other sites
Kat Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Have you tried to get up and excuse yourself, go to the toilet and get it out of your system as much as possible and return? If it is only whyen you are nervous maybe concentrate on making yourself relaxed Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Thanx Kat. I have done that and sometimes it helps but it doesn't do alot of good when you cant hold it long enuf to get away from people much less to the batroom. I don't get much warning (Iguess niether does anybody else). Maybe if I just layoff the social life for a while it will go away. Im really not a nervous person any other time ( in class or at work) maybe its just a social thing? How the hell do you deal with that? I just know I dont want to riun anyones' meal or cause a scene anymore. Not to mentoin SEX. What chance do I have to get intimate with any guy if I am going to spray and blow every time Im in a sit. that makes my stomach 'nervous' Every time it hapens it shakes my confidance just a little bit more. I just dont want to deal with this s**t anymore...... Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 IM sorry to waste everybodys time with this.

I have done that and sometimes it helps but it doesn't do alot of good when you cant hold it long enuf to get away from people much less to the batroom. I don't get much warning (I guess niether does anybody else). I remember in high school I thought there was something wrong with me because I used to fart. I seriously thought that I as the odd one out. Then one day I found out that most people releaise gas at least 8 times a day on average. It didn't mean it was okay for me to do it infront of others, but I realised that other people go through what i do and feel just as concerned as I do. Maybe if I just layoff the social life for a while it will go away. Im really not a nervous person any other time ( in class or at work) maybe its just a social thing? How the hell do you deal with that? Don't lay off the social life. You can take two paths, that I can think of. You can either get it out straight away and let the people know that you are really nervous and somtimes you behave a little strange. Or you can try and arrange to meet people in a very crowded and loud area I just know I dont want to riun anyones' meal or cause a scene anymore. Not to mentoin SEX. What chance do I have to get intimate with any guy if I am going to spray and blow every time Im in a sit. that makes my stomach 'nervous' Every time it hapens it shakes my confidance just a little bit more. I just dont want to deal with this s**t anymore...... There is nothing 'wrong' with you. You have to realise this. We all get different traits. I find I need to go to wee a lot when I am nervous. As much as it won't help, you will find that people who have an issue with are either immature or very 'proper'. I am sure it isn't such a big deal for other people as you make it out to be in your own head. Plus, If it is just a nervous trait, it should go away after a while Plus, you make a lot of strange noises during sex even without a nervous trait like that Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted October 27, 2004 Author Share Posted October 27, 2004 Thanx again Kat. Its nice that somone can be nice and helpful about an embarasing subj like this one. Its just a new deal for me, never used to happen, has nothing to do with my period or that stuff ( atleast not that I can tell). I will take your advise and run with it. I ll let you know in this posting how its going. alisa182 Link to post Share on other sites

ncguy34 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 This would be an embarrassing problem especially for a girl. Guys are disgusting pigs and we seem to take adolescent pride in umm-well doing what your discussing. Anyway, as everyone has said on this thread it is natural etc. etc. but I believe there are things that you can do to prevent it thus controlling it. Activated Charcoal pills are apparantely quite effective. My suggestion is that you search web sites for the proper diet avoiding the obvious causes and take charcoal pills. You do not need to adjust your enjoyment of life just the foods that cause this. I hope your able to control it the embarrassment must be horrible. Link to post Share on other sites
MelodyJ Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Dyermaker, big zep fan, love the name. I had to laugh when she asked you what it meant. I have been telling myself that turning 42 was no big deal, and this made me realize that I really am older because I knew it. At least I have this in common with my kids, ha ha.

Nocturnalkitee Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 There is nothing 'wrong' with you. You have to realise this. We all get different traits. I will agree with your doctor it is something that you are drinking or eating. Apples,chocolate,onions, cheese, chili, beans, vegetables, and any product with milk in it can cause a person to have gas and fart a lot. You might be lactose intolerance. If you remember after consuming some of these items, remember to think if you experience the GAS! Link to post Share on other sites
Adunaphel Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 I'm sorry to hear you have this problem, that must be really embarassing. I used to have a slightly similar problem for a few years......when I was nervous around a guy my stomach used to rumble and growl loudly. It sounded like I had a hungry sabretooth tiger in my pants. I think it is the same phenomenon that gives you flautulence problems. In my case it went away with time. Charcoal pills help quite a lot. The small advantage of this problem is that when you are dating guys it can help you pick out the nice guys quickly. Link to post Share on other sites
verbatim Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Oh man this is the easiest ever, just take a dump before you go out, problem solved. Become one with the dump and learn how to do it on command, its possible, I do it all the time! Link to post Share on other sites
Author alisa182 Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 Hi. Thanx to everone for all the help and suport. Nuthin much has changed but I am trying not to get to discoraged about it. Maybe if other people lauhg and think its funny then I should too? I dont know. I wasnt raized that way. My parents hated that stuff (burping farting etc) and made a big stink about it whenever one of us kids (i have 2 brothers and a lil' sis) cut loose. Oh well big damn deal. Hopfully everyone will get over it and I will too. About that take a dump thing, I dont have any plans for going out with any guys for the time being, but I will try it anyway. Can you rrelly learn to crap on comand? Link to post Share on other sites

Author alisa182 Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 Hey thanks verbatim. I tried that before going to a party Haloween nite and altho nothing much came of it (the dump) it did seem to help at least for a while. I also tried to not eat much and lay off the beer (it gives me diarreha if I drink to much). I just had some wine coolers. I didn't have any fart issues til later on and then it wuz past my bedtime anyway so I just went home. I managed to control myself until I got in the cab and at that point who cares? It was only a few blks to my apt, and the cab driver was nice enough not to say anything when I aired one out. I also am going back home for christmas vacation, and after a angry phone conversion with my mom, she decided to stop thinking it wuz so funny and she made me an apointment with her dr. So pleez keep yur fingers crossed that he can give me pills or something that will make this go away for good. Thanx alisa182 Link to post Share on other sites
