i sometimes get gas (the kind that lasts all night

that lasts all night) but i find it really difficult to pass gas when my boyfriend comes to visit (and he usually stays a night or two). my farts don't smell but are loud. i just find it so hard to fart when he is around (we are in our 20s and have been together for 1.5 years) so the fart ends up going (?) on inside (?) and gives me a stomach ache that no OTC can help (cause i end up trapping it inside due to aforementioned problem and not farting again). many a night were ruined w me being in stomach pain (in addition to my moderate ~ severe fibro pain that make me disabled for the last 2.5 years!)+ mental frustration! does anyone else have this problem about farting in front of ur SO? the gas lasts all night so it's not like I can go to the bathroom every time. thanks for reading all this!

Beano is my best friend when it comes to gas. I get it really bad when my husband and I travel for more than an hour without me being able to walk around. I also do not eat things that will cause it to be really bad like greasy foods, broccoli, beans, etc. That would be my suggestion for you as well. Write down what you eat and when your gas is it's worst (other than when you are holding it) and limit yourself the things that make it worse. I hope this helps.

I keep a box of "Diovox plus" tablets in my night table.they are cheap.I get gas that hurts from IBS problems .It breaks up the gas .
Id also second the tracking your foods and drinks to find your triggers.I cant eat raisins or nuts and soda is not a good idea :)
I understand your embarrassment,now ive been married 25 years and after having kids especially we no longer get embarrassed by anything the other does lol.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
