I don't have that problem because most of my gas is trapped....I wish I could <<<<let it blow>>>> because I know I would feel much better.
Anyway, my hubby doesn't have IBS but he eats lots of beans & veggies so...of course....he farts a lot. We have been married 37 yrs and we have lots of fun with it... Of course this is in the privacy of our own home... Sometimes they sound like a tune and we have names for different sounding ones....it's so funny When you have been married for a long time you find crazy things to laugh about.
I have started back to work part time after being off for a year. Anyway, the place I work has one bathroom for men & women and it's in sorta close proximity to the offices. I am afraid that if I have to "D" I will stink up the whole office. Gee Whiz, I hope that doesn't happen for the sake of everyone in the office....he he
BTW, you might try taking a Phazyme before you go on a date and stay away from gas producing foods.
