MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Over the years (and there have been many) I've noticed that I seem to fart a lot less than many other folk - e.g. my workmates, friends. Not only that, but mine are mostly odourless, not the room-emptying stench type. I put this down to a fairly balanced diet and a minimal beer intake. However, things seem to have changed recently as it seems I'm constantly farting and they're usually rather ripe.
Over the past 3 months or so, I've been doing a bit more intensive training, including the use of additives such as PSP22 and some energy gels. In addition, I've done a couple of sportives where I was using these as a bit of a performance enhancement. Now - I could accept the fact that these products could change my internal working a little, but it's now over two weeks since I used any and the farts are still frequent and rank.
Is it possible that I've made some more permanent change to my gut chemistry? If so, is it reversible?
Retirement does that to people.
[i]If so, is it reversible?[/i]
Why would you want that?
Sounds like you need a fartectomy.

Go and see your doctor and he can prescribe somethng for your hearing loss and lack of sense of smell.
I don't trust anyone that doesn't fart much! 😉

LOL!
A vegetarian mate of mine would often produce noxious bum-gas, that was utterly foul and nasty. He always claimed 'stop making a fuss; it don't smell'. Dirty bastard. They always stank.
My farts don't smell, but I will always refrain from farting in the presence of a lady. Unlike many, I'm a gent.
You never seem to mind the smell of your own farts, so perhaps you not aware that others find that your farts stink! I wouldnt worry unlesss you follow through!
"How dare you fart before my wife!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't realise it was her turn..."
Eat charcoal [url= http://www.mothernature.com/Library/Bookshelf/Books/47/60.cfm ]seriously[/url]
Actimel? Available from chiller cabinet of Sainsbury's etc. Helps digestion.
Also, as TJ says, we used to give our dog charcoal.
I would think it is quite possible that by ingesting all that sugar you have altered the balance of bacteria in your gut. I don't know tho - just guessing.
Actimel sounds like a good idea
Actimel after my porridge and then after my evening meal too. Reckon all my carbo loading from my running days screwed up my digestive system. Also am careful what I eat, it's probably an age thing with me 🙄
at least you needn't be left out of games of fart tennis anymore
as said above, your own farts rarely smell anyway, only on a few occasions have I had to leave the room after my own efforts
timber - Memberas said above, your own farts rarely smell anyway, only on a few occasions have I had to leave the room after my own efforts
It's the fact that something has changed - and isn't changing back. I was thinking along the lines of TJ and c_g. Might give Actimel a go then - or what about these bio yoghurts?
Energy products and SIS stuff in particular always give me the shits and lots of wind :roll:. Try cutting it out and see if it makes a difference.
Actimel is a probiotic. I find that stress really affects my stomach and I've had plenty of that recently.
I'm also convinced that over the years food has changed, ie with bread the wheat has been tinkered with to give maximum yield etc etc.
Food I used to be able to eat I no longer can - possibly pesticides are to blame amongst other things. Less tolerance really.
I absolutely STINK anyone that knows me will tell you that.
I can clear a room within mins of entering it.
I know what causes it but i cant bring my self to stop drinking milk.
I was too poor to afford milk in nz and the farting stopped. but here i drink 2 or more pints a day(Cause i like milk) and fart like a trouper
Its even worse if i add protein to my milk.
bio yogs and actimel/yakult do eff all for me 🙁
trail_rat - organic milk?
tried soya milk its nice in its own way but its not the same as a cool glass of full fat milk ! .
never tried organic milk
trail_rat - with the amount you drink, it may be worth trying. I only drink organic skimmed milk which is an acquired taste! Soya is gross!
Welcome to my world and back to 'normality' bum holes smell, that's the way they are.
"Stephen Goldfinger, M.D., a digestive disease expert,"
yeah, right!
Ask bluetone 😉
Better out than in?
"Soya is gross! "
id more describe it as chalky ! soya milkshakes are great and its good for putting in smoothies. But not on the museli !
There's something incredibly satisfying about a good big fart 8)
as long as it comes alone 😯
So what's the composition of fart gas roughly then and what's giving it the smell? It's bloody poo-dust - that's what it is. The gas is carrying millions of tiny particles of your shit, small enough to make it through your pants and trousers when ejected with force from your sphincter.
So yeah, the next time you're subjected to someone else's fart, just remember, you're actually breathing in particles of his or her shit.

I have the same problem, and with the change in weather my diet changed slightly (less fatty/sugary foods, more decent stuff) and I did notice a difference (drop) Ive got a mate whos starting body building, all he eats is meat in 4 medium meals a day. He alo takes various protein shakes and other things and he stinks. He can clear a room easily without much effort!
Cant believe this hasnt been posted yet! 8)

I'm a what, RR? No, go on; don't be shy.

Mine smell of sunshine.
And I've impressed a fair few ladies with 'anal dexterity' .......... I can tell yer.
All the more so, when they realise that the sun shines ou' me arrse too. 8)
Energy products create havoc with digestive systems especially if you;re not used to them or you suddenly use them more than normal.
You only have to get within 100yds of the toilets at an endurance event like MM to realise that! 😉
I eat shed loads of fruit and veg and wholewheat stuff and I fart huge amounts most of which doesn't smell much but if I do want to clear a room or just win the next round of Johnny Fartparts then its a handful of dried apricots. I think they are treated with sulphur in some way and the affect is instantaneous. All brassicas work well too. Meat I find just causes blockages and stale smelling farts - nothing to boast about.
Energy drinks work really well without a doubt - I'm looking forward to the Trans Wales this August. My tent may well fly away.

You bollocks. You're a bloody vegetarian! In fact, they stink so bad they buckle the tracks of the Croydon Tramlink!
I have no desire to know about any 'anal dexterity'. And nothing shines out of your arse; more like, it is a black pit of infinite despair, which sucks the very life-force from all that goes near it.

Aye - but I didn't expect the effects to be so permanent 😕

Charming ...........

I'm not a vegetarian btw - I just don't like to eat animals with big beautiful eyes.
And it's meat-eaters who sh1t stinks - my cats sh1t is in a class of their own. My pretty white doves on the other hand, do cute little odourless droppings.
my mrs just farted on my foot as i discovered this thread..didnt smell tho

Thank the frack it wasn't about shitting then.
It's Human shit that stinks the worst. We eat so many preservatives, the natural biodegration is retarded, thus it takes far longer for our shit to break down and stop being 'orrible and nasty. Notice how dogshit takes longer to break down than fox shit? That's because there are preservatives in dogfood. Not natural.
Notice how dogshit takes longer to break down than fox shit?
I can't say that I have.
You on the other hand, obviously spend a lot of time studying shit.
What a rewarding and fulfilling life you must lead mate.
Heh!
Only way I've noticed, is when a fox shat in our garden, one place I lived. A dog had shat on a bit of grass outside, the same day. It was Summer. I noticed the dogshit was still there 3 weeks later! The fox shit had long gone. I deduced that this was 'cos dogs are fed dogfood which contains preservatives, thus extending the faecal decomposition period.
I concede this was not an entirely scientific test...
FWIW mine were rank this morning. But I had the best chicken Jal Frezi last night and a fair amount of beer. I think the main culprits were lots of garlic and chillies.
They absolutley hummed
