I can toot with the best of them!
This is a topic that needs to be broached. I used to hold my farts in or run to the bathroom everytime I had to poot. My boyfriend, now husband, once asked me if I had a urinary tract infection. I told him, no, I've got gas. He told me to let her rip and I've been much happier ever since.
Once we were in a diner and two little old ladies were having dinner in the booth next to us. One of them jumped up and the other kept talking. She starting racing for the bathroom shouting "Not now, not now, not now" and passing these tremendous farts as she went. Well, it was all over for us. We rolled on the floor and had to leave before the old lady came back. I knew she'd be embarrassed.
Now I have gas much less often. But green vegetables like kale, collard, and green beans do me in. And it is toxic. But I don't suggest you use Beano. It makes your body process the veggies and you're utilizing the carbs and maybe raising your insulin level when you take it.
Instead, give a verbal warning like I do, and if somebody's still around, they made the choice. The only thing that's really sad is my cat will start scratching the sheets like she's trying to cover up litter.
