Flatulence and bloating

 You can eat what you want and wear a Flat-D Odor Control Products pad. Sometimes healthy items can cause smelly gas

Many people complain of flatulence after eating. Sometimes, even after eating or drinking a little, the stomach starts to swell violently. In medical language it is called bloating. It is also known as gas or flatulence in the stomach. Swelling or pain in the abdomen accompanied by belching or discomfort in the abdomen are all symptoms of bloating.

It is believed that eating too fast and swallowing air, eating too much at one go, constipation, liver disease, pregnancy are some of the common causes of bloating. Apart from these, some food items like beans, lentils, broccoli, cabbage, high salt items and milk also increase this problem.

Stinky farts in bed

 This article shows that it is the smell not the sound that is the problem. A Flat-D pad is great at removing the odor but surprisingly it also muffles the sound.

A married woman revealed that her husband allegedly called her flatulence “absolutely revolting” — after only farting once in front of him during their nine-year relationship.

“After hearing his very strong thoughts on the topic, I made a mental note to ensure my own expelling of gas was done in a very private matter and contained within the bathroom and toilet or until he was not around to smell it,” she wrote.

That is, until one night, her “guard was down” and the “post-pizza gasses” came back to haunt her. Lying in bed next to her husband, she accidentally let one rip — and was met with a disgusted look.

‘Stinky Grandad’ reveals ‘really, really bad’ farts affecting private and professional life: ‘I’ve tried everything’

 We hate to read that someone tried everything. He has not tried a Flat-D.com flatulence deodorizer pad.

He may have tried dietary items or OTC medicine. Ours does not have side effects and it works for everyone if used properly.

Craig revealed that he gets ‘a lot of wind during the night’ and goes to the toilet ‘around 10 times a day.’

He continued: ‘My farts are really bad during the night sometimes. It’s really really bad. Uncomfortable.’

My partner will flick the quilt in the middle of the night and say, “Craig, you’ve done it again.” The window will be opened. Spraying sprays. The door open get the air through the rooms to get it clear.

‘It does affect my private life and my professional life as a firefighter. If we’re out and about as soon as I get back, I need to use a toilet.’

Craig said he was ‘desperate’ to find out ‘what’s up with his stomach’, revealing he had tried everything, from intolerance tests to cutting out dairy.

He also confessed he was known as Stinky Grandad because of his relentless farting by his grandson.

After undoing tests, which came back normal, and receiving advice from the experts, Craig overhauled his diet.

Fortunately, it worked, with Craig now having a largely plant-based diet which he said made him fart less, as well as giving the flatulence a clean odor.

Farting products

 We make a variety of Flat-D Odor Control Products for all types of gas.

Everybody finds themselves expelling gas from their bodies at some point in life. Flatulence is just a natural part of the human experience.

When it comes to how we develop that gassy and bloating feeling, it stems from two causes:

1-Swallowing air while eating, drinking, smoking, or chewing gum.

2-From food, especially certain hard-to-digest foods.

Intestinal gas gathers as a result of digestion and bacterial fermentation in the colon. The major gases making up flatus are hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane. Hydrogen sulfide and other sulfur-containing gases cause most of the odor.

If you have a lot of flatulence with such other symptoms as reflux, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, bloody stools, nausea and vomiting, or weight loss, see your doctor.

Tis the season to FART

 Tis the season for traveling to see family. A Flat-d.com pad can be a handy traveling companion. On airplanes especially.

It was on a flight to New Zealand that a Danish scientist had a bit of a lightbulb moment. Noticing changes in the air of his water bottle, and feeling just a little bloated after the journey, Jacob Rosenberg began theorising about the human body’s behaviour on something that happens to all of us, something we never speak about, and something we never want to hear or really smell for that matter: ‘why do we seem to fart more on planes?’.

Very simply, it is gas in our intestines that needs to get out, but how it builds up can come down to a range of factors.

As we go through our day we are swallowing in air doing basic activities like chewing food or drinking. This swallowed air, known as exogenous air, includes oxygen and nitrogen which gets absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine, but any excess needs to be expelled.

There are also plenty of bacteria doing their job in the colon of breaking down food which results in something called endogenous air. Depending on what you have been eating, the makeup of this will mostly be hydrogen, but it could also contain methane, and the stuff that adds that certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ stink aroma, hydrogen sulphide. But only 1% of the roughly 1.5 litres of gas we emit each day actually smells.

As you are no doubt aware, some foods you eat tend to make a difference on your flatus quota for the day with high fibre foods and undigested carbohydrates in sugars like fructose and sorbitol, starchy products like potatoes, high-sulphur items like garlic and onions, and cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower and broccoli making the difference.

As Rosenberg noted on that fateful flight to New Zealand, he saw changes to his water bottle. It had been “squeezed” after expanding in the low pressure and then crumpling back when the plane reached the airport.

“When we landed, my belly had grown. That led me to speculate what had happened. When I got back to work I discussed with two of my students, and we simply came up with the idea for the paper.”

It's really down to physics. The cabin pressure decreases, the air inside the bowel expands by up to 30% more than usual, and that needs to get out.

“Since there is only limited space in the large bowel, it is a natural consequence to fart,”

Lots of Flatulence - no problem for Flat-D.com

 Use a Flatulence Deodorizer if you fart from 1 to 21 times a day.

Typically, adults produce about two pints of gas each day, which sneaks—or leaks—out via an average of 14 farts a day. If that number seems low to you, don't worry. It's apparently perfectly normal to pass gas up to 21 times a day.

A Covid mask for your Butt

Time for a mask for your butt, A flat-d.com pad can help.

According to the experts, Covid-19 could be spread through flatulence or farting, to us commoners. A lot of partners are now finding another reason to tell the bloke off for having a cheeky trump. They do advise ventilation in order to slow the spread of Covid so this only gives you more reason.

Ministers have reportedly pointed to evidence that Covid could be spread by people farting in confined spaces such as lavatories. One said they had read "credible-looking stuff on it" from other countries, though no government scientist is yet to produce conclusive findings on the matter.
