Answer 1

How to hold a fart/belching effectively. Medically analyzed.

Keep a diary
If you really want to get to grips with the problem, keep a diary of what and when you eat for a week. Also note when you pass wind, and whether it is mild, moderate or severe each time. This may help you to pinpoint foods or drinks that are responsible.

Minimizing belching

- Avoid fizzy drinks and hot drinks.
- Do not rush your food. When you gulp food you swallow more air.
- Do not overeat. To avoid gas, it is better to eat little and often.
- Chew your food properly. This helps the saliva to work on it so it is properly digested, and you are less likely to swallow air with food that is chewed small than with large lumps.
- Do not use chewing gum, and try to avoid sucking on pen tops.
- Stop smoking.

Minimizing flatulence
- Pay attention to the advice for minimizing belching to reduce swallowed air. Some swallowed air may be passed as flatulence instead of belching.
- Try to avoid large quantities of the particular gas-forming foods listed above, but make sure you eat enough fruit and vegetables to avoid constipation and give yourself a balanced diet. The carbohydrates in many foods (such as potatoes, rice, corn and wheat products) are well absorbed so will not worsen flatulence. Dietary fibres, such as bran and cellulose, are also innocent, because they are not converted to gases by gut bacteria.
- Do not suddenly increase the amount of fibre in your diet; the gut needs to get used to increased fibre gradually.
- Avoid ‘slimming’ foods containing sorbitol. Some people find that reducing their intake of ordinary sugar helps.
- Remove 80% of the most troublesome carbohydrates from dried beans by covering them with water, bringing them to the boil and boiling for 10 minutes, turning off the heat and letting them soak for 4 hours. Drain off the water, replace with fresh water and cook the beans according to your recipe. Or use tinned beans.
- Take plenty of exercise. This helps to keep the bowel moving normally.
- Avoid tight clothing.
- Try taking a charcoal tablet (available from pharmacies), or eating a charcoal biscuit (available from health stores) before a meal.
- Your doctor might be willing to give you a course of broad-spectrum antibiotic. This can sometimes help by changing the balance of bacteria in the gut.
- Anti-wind products can be bought from pharmacies. They disperse bubbles of trapped wind by creating larger bubbles that can pass out of the system. They may relieve your discomfort, but may make you fart and belch even more.

Try the above and you will find the improvement - Best of luck-

Answer 2

HaHa, I saw this question and just had to respond.... DONT hold it in... Our bodies have air trapped inside and there are only certain ways it can escape (burp or fart)... If no one ever farted and we all held it in, then we'd all look like balloons... Its the natural thing to do, even though people think its gross, since it stinks and makes a funny noise... But did you know that every night as you fall asleep your butt hole muscles (along with every other body muscle) are relaxing and if you are "too cool to fart" then you release that gas pressure that has built up all day, its kinda funny, but true... I don't know why you would want to hold in a fart unless your in a public place and your afraid it might be "silent but violent" or what not... but excuse yourself to the bathroom or go somewhere loud and relieve yourself... trust me, you'll be doing your body a favor...

Answer 3

Excuse yourself and go for a walk outside and get rid of the gas. It's not good to hold it in. Also, it contributes to your constipation. Drink more water.

Answer 4

don't, it's not healthy...if anything, tell the people your with you'll be back and go to the bathroom. if your in class, you know what to do.

either way, holding it in can cause problems later on down the line.

Answer 5

Don't.....Just let it go....holding it in can cause stomach cramps and who wants that, Just let it out but give a warning first.

Answer 6

Squeeze your butt cheeks together.
The gas will go in the other direction and try to exit again later.

Answer 7

You shouldn't. Just let it go. It is nothing to be embarrassed about, we are only human

Answer 8

Use a strong glue to seal up your hole.

Answer 9

Don't, it'll only hurt later.

Answer 10
