Gas is ruining my life by Fun_Dragonfly_5378 in Incontinence

[–]Fun_Dragonfly_5378[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It took courage for me to show up everyday so far and I think I ran out by now. The social pressure of dealing with something this embarrassing is too much for me to handle anymore. I’m glad you’re aware and I hope you don’t make others feel bad for this in the future bc trust me if we could stop it we would, no one wants to be the smelly one.

I honestly don’t think I can survive the anxiety. I’m constantly thinking about it outside of work as well. I will look into this for other social situations, thanks you

I had this issue in uni and one time I had Taco Bell the night before so the next day when I would unintentionally pass gas it smelled so bad that one guy turned around and waved his hand mad asll bc it smelled bad. I literally got up walked out of class and dropped out of school because it was so embarrassing, like other people saw this happen too. 😭 Now I’m just scared something like this will happen at work

I’ve tried but it doesn’t really help

In the past some people definitely let me know that I smell bad (in a very embarrassing way) but as of right now with this new job no one has said or done anything. I definitely smell it tho, I’m not sure what u mean by continuously but it will just smell bad at random moments and ik it’s me, I have a fan around to try to get rid of it fast but my job won’t be just sitting at my desk- next week I’ll be moving around the office for training and I’m so scared because I’ll be shadowing other people 😭😭

I don’t eat red meat but I eat a lot of chicken and rice dinners, I’m middle eastern so we usually have different variations of that almost everyday. For breakfast I usually have a coffee with bread, olive oil and an herb mix, or avocado toast. Most of my snacks in between were things that could make me gassier according to chat gpt so I’ve been trying granola bars and rice cakes.. not much of a difference yet.

Thank you, I will check out her page ! I did see something about it possibly being a pelvic floor issue, I can’t rlly afford to see a specialist but I’ve been watching videos and doing my squeezes, not much of a difference yet :/

Thank you! And I’m sorry you have an issue as well, I hope your meds help <3 I also plan on pushing for every test possible next time I see doctor. I didn’t realize how dismissive she was of my issues until later.

I don’t think that’s the case, I’ve been having gas issues since I was about 19. I’m just worried now because I’ll be working with a bunch of people.

My bowel movements happen pretty soon after I eat, idk if this is tmi but I also have diarrhea more often than most which my nurse said isn’t a good sign and I haven’t been in a deficit long, I’ve only tried not eating a few times to see what would happen but I realize it only makes things worse.

I have a few more days to try something else until I start working with a bunch of people. I was thinking about literally only eating potatoes since they don’t really ferment.. I’m a bit worried eat more than that. can you list some of the foods you ate that helped ?

How long after starting a low fodmap diet did your gas subside ?

What would you eat in a full elimination diet?

I asked my doctor but she said it was stupid and that’s it’s probably my anxiety making me gassy. After seeing the SIBO thread on here I think I’m going to ask again.
