If not, then what about rarely instead of never?
I can guarantee that if you drank pure petroleum and ate quicklime then you would spend the rest of your life without worrying about farts.
But if you sharted it’d be like napalm.
In short, no. To explain: you have a bunch of beneficial bacteria living inside your digestive tract. These little guys help you digest your food, and in return they get a free meal. This basically means that the food you eat ferments into poo. Fermentation always results in gas being released (think how the plastic wrap on a bowl of dough can puff up as it proves.) So to sum it up, unless you drank a strict water-only diet, anything you eat can give you gas. (Even then, you would probably still naturally swallow some air with the water, and some would make it to the other end as a fart.)
So we go to no pooping for 3 days to now someone wants to stop farting. What is going on here in lemmy?
Butthole problems
Ooo good band name
That first guy went 3 days and then posted a follow-up looking for constipation relief.
Seems that opened the floodgates. 😏
Our stop up the dam more likely.😹
Neat fact: Late in WWII, Germany deployed a rocket fighter. This rocket could climb to 12K in a three minuets. Consequently, the pilots had to eat a special low fiber diet to prevent gas because the change in pressure caused severe intestinal distress.
Of course that was the least of the pilot’s problems. The Me163 was so crazy dangerous it made OceanGate look as safe as the Bank of England.
This is precisely the answer I was looking for, though I didn’t know it when I asked. Thank you!
Are you flying an ME163?
There you go, lots of processed grains and low fiber proteins
could climb to 12K in a three minuets
a traditional minuet is ~4 minutes long, assuming meters, that would be roughly 2400 Km/h average speed
The Me163 was so crazy dangerous it made OceanGate look as safe as the Bank of England.
You’re just saying that because part of the fuel mixture would burst into flames when it came into contact with pretty much anything organic and had to he kept in aluminum containers because it would eat its way out of anything else.
And don’t forget that the other part of the fuel mixture would also burst into flames when it came on contact with pretty much anything organic and had to be kept in glass containers because it would eat through aluminum.
bro is doing the 3 day no fart challenge 💀

why would you want to give up one of life’s little joys?
The smell after, right? Right, guys?
It’s the flapping of buttcheeks during the fart, my fellow farter.

The magical fruit.
Take it from me. You don’t want to give up farting.
As someone with crohn’s I can confirm. Being bloated and unable to fart is a form of torture.
Highlight of your day?
I had my ass surgically removed like 20 years ago. Now I don’t fart. Some days you miss it.
It’s not possible to never fart but you can do things to reduce gas in your intestines. Here is an article about it. Sounds pretty miserable to me.

I’d rather fart and be happy than smell nice in misery.
If you really wanted the best of both worlds, you could get those underwear inserts that hide the smell.
The strange items humanity comes up with for very specific problems never cease to amaze me
They even have a blanket for similar purposes (fart concealment) and it’s called “the marriage blanket.” Cause farts ruin your marriage, allegedly. Haven’t ruined mine, but what do I know.
There’s this mineral you can eat called bismuth subgallate that works as an internal deodorant. It’s sold under the brand name devrom. Haven’t tried it, but heard good things.
Things I learn on Lemmy, for real. “It’s like Febreeze but for your insides.”
Have they used “It’s a breathmint for your butthole” yet?
That would be genius marketing right there. I already ordered some online. Can’t wait to smell my own farts.
The only reason I haven’t bought some is because I’m poor. Hey devrom guys I just got you a sale. Send me some.
My auntie swore by taking charcoal tablets. We just suspected she’d gone deaf.
Old people don’t fart. Instead of a distinct fart event, it’s more of a constant, low pressure leak.
Did she buy black underwear or dye them herself?
I believe she spray painted them.
There is a diet created by Monash University researchers called the Low FODMAP diet. Essentially FODMAPs are harder to digest sugars that exacerbate GI symtpoms, like farts and cramps. Most people won’t see or feel much of a difference but those with GI issues (or those with a fart journal) may see a difference with the diet
However it is a rather strict diet to keep at first until you start reintroducing foods to figure out which foods cause the gas, so I would only recommend it if the gas is extreme or there is cramping or other GI related symtpoms.
I was on the diet for over a year by recommendation of a gastroenterologist and can confirm that after some time the farts were kinda rare and not the smelly kind. But like others have mentioned, farts are natural and cannot be eliminated.
I REALLY wish FODMAP worked for me. I hear everyone raving about it, but may of the “safe” foods aren’t safe for me, even in their tiny amounts, and non safe foods are fine. sigh

I believe there’s a different technical term for mouth farts.
Fun tidbit. My kid, the first time they realized they farted ran up to me in scared confusion and confessed to me that they burped out of their butt. After learning everyone does and they did before but didn’t remember life was ok again
Haha, yes, but I rarely burp, again due to GI issues. If I chew gum, I fart. Otherwise, I’ll go days without any.

Stop eating anything with high fructose corn syrup. I promise it works.
If you hold on for a few minutes, it will be absorbed by the colon and go into your bloodstream. Then it will be released into the atmosphere through your skin. Soundlessly and smellessly.
Only a certain amount, you can’t hold everything in.
Trust me, I tried.
That can’t be healthy
Doesn’t the smell come out through your mouth (i.e. literally having fart-breath) if you hold it in, or is that just an urban myth?
I hardly ever fart, the rest of my family are a veritable natural gas factory. I do not eat sugar, or dairy and an vegetarian. Lots of black beans, not magical fruit for me. I never eat processed foods, and hardly ever eat bread or other gluten… I do have pasta once a week or so
Wow.You and I would not get along.
Just because of different foods? You’re a precious one.
Probably because he exudes gases through his pores or something as nothing he said has bearing on farting frequency.
Gut ecology is complex and everyone’s is different and it changes over time and with age and when you have to take antibiotics, etc. There’s no one sure-fire way to just eliminate it.
