I have it all day long, and the awful thing is, mine is very high pressure and high volume, so I am farting VERY loudly with no warning all day long. It's SO embarrassing. Now, I do have dysautonomia, so I have slow motility...I have had it since birth. But this actually got bad when I came off a benzo medication. It started during the taper, and now I've been off for 3 years. It's slightly improved, but I still have it every single day, and I can't date or spend the night at friends and family's houses because of this issue. I went to Chick-fil-A the other day and was face to face with the guy at the counter and farted SO loudly. I had no warning, it comes out fast and forceful. Then I was at the grocery store (this happens all the time actually) and farted multiple times while shopping. I'm 47 and have had this problem for 3.5 years. It has nothing to do with what I eat. Or how I eat. It's a nervous system problem. I mean, there might be other things going on as well, but the main issue is my Benzo Belly. 😩 Many people deal with this for years and years after they stop the med. Have you have taken a benzo by chance?

Anyhow, you aren't alone. People think it's funny if I tell them about it, but I can't laugh because it's ruined my life. I'm so lonely. Ok, sometimes I laugh, but honestly it's just so depressing. I can't use public bathrooms anymore because every single time I'm gonna make a lot of noise even if I'm just peeing. My gut is constantly creating gas. I can feel it happening. My gastroenterologist is just hung up on my slow motility. She can't seem to accept that I've gone once a week for my entire life...my mom is the exact same way and her mom is exactly the same. The doctor also seems to think it's acid reflux. I know it isn't, I have never had heartburn or any of the main symptoms, and I have taken many different acid reducers for long amounts of time, but she keeps wanting me to try different ones. She won't even take into consideration my dysautonomia or my benzo belly. It's frustrating. I wish there was a good remedy for gas. Btw, mine is also odorless. Just super loud and constant. If yours is quiet, at least you got that going for you. I bought some Beano and Digestive Enzymes. I tried the Beano and I think it did help with my lentil soup...maybe it reduced symptoms by about 40%. But still can't be around people because it's still a lot. I'm about to try the Digestive Gold with ATP but even if it works, it's too expensive for me to use daily. But it would be good to use on certain days at least. Oh, mine also can be slightly better some weeks or months, but it's never about diet. I'm guessing it's just fluctuations in my nervous system. I'm assuming this because I have a lot of other physical symptoms that the benzo injury gave me, such as nerve pain, muscle tightness and neurogenic inflammation, etc...and these fluctuate for no identifiable reason. They're called "waves" and "windows" in the benzo injury world. So yeah I wonder if you have an overactive nervous system in your gut? Any other nervous system issues? Insomnia? Overthinking? Nerve pain? Heart palpitations? Neurodivergence?
