I have bad gas issues. all day, every day. I have accidently let it out twice while sleeping when my boyfriend stayed over. Lately, i've been sooo afraid of having it slip that I do not let him sleep over. Last time after we made love, we rested a bit and I said baby, you have to go. he was like I HAVE to go? I made an excuse about getting up early. He didn' like it but left. I felt bad, but what can I do? I know flatulence is normal but that doesn't mean it's ok to break wind in front of people! any suggestions?

Well, obviously you're eating something that's producing gas...so determine what that is and either stop eating it, or eat it in concert with something else that neutralizes that undesirable effect. Then too, your nervousness about the issue could have some impact on this situation as well. Raw vegetables tend to produce an enormous amount of gas and pressure, but they're usually easy to digest, and the vapor doesn't stink once expelled. Meat on the other hand, will clear a room, and eating starches with them only makes that situation worse (potatoes, rices, corn). Since I'm not well-versed on the interactions of every conceivable combination, I recommend reading up on them based on things you enjoy eating most often, and also look into the feasibility of using gas-suppressing aids like Beano to help. (Consult your local pharmacist.)

Try using some gas relief medicine, or if it's not very often, excuse yourself when it happens. As far as sleeping, if he is asleep to, he probably doesn't notice. If both of you are asleep how so you know you're passing gas in your sleep? If they aren't loud, play a radio to cover up any sounds maybe. I would try gas x or soething similar though. Look at what you're eating and make sure that's not the problem.

its not that big of a deal as you are making it. if you dont stop lieing to your bf it could definitley cause issues and strain the relationship. if you plan on being with your bf for a while then a time will come when hes going to hear you pass wind. if he doesnt like it then its kinda too bad. you cant help it that you have bad gas. take gasx when you know hes coming over so that it wont be as bad as you say it is. and its is ok to pass wind in front of people as long as your obnoxious about it.

Is that you Lily? Why are you discussing our sex life with strangers on the net? Joke. If you do have excessive flatulence, you can modify your diet in certain ways to help alleviate it. I understand your concerns about not wanting to fart in the bed with your boyfriend there... however, i must urge you that trying to hold it in for extended periods of time inevetibly leads to a problem of having hemmorhoids, and you don't want that do you! Do they stink? That can be diet related too. anyway, everyone farts, and if you were with somebody for a year or so, they'd eventually get comfortable farting in the bed beside you... i know one lad that actually shoves his girlfriends head under the duvet when he does it so it doesn't go to waste... so relax a bit with the embarrassment. I'm not too sure if there are any medications that can help you, but i would think there are... google... flatulence +medication +treatment

See a doctor and look at what your eating. Certain vegetable can make you gassy. There are also somethings you can buy over the counter to help you. As for your boyfriend he is probably upset or feels he didnt do something right the way you ask him to leave after your pleasure. You should come clean and apologize to your boyfriend and tell him you asked him to leave not because of him but you. Tell him your having intestinal problems and your embarassed by it thats why you asked him to leave. Believe me he will feel alot better knowing he is not the problem.

Well, it is not something that can really be controlled but you can be careful so that it is not loud. Sitting in a chair helps to some extent because when you are walking, you cannot control your muscles enough, and they tend to be loud.
Beano tablets help. You can get it in any local pharmacy.
You may also want to change your diet in general, and be extra careful the days you have visitors.

Just excuse yourself and go to the bathroom. That usually solves the problem. Or try some Gas-EX - it works pretty well for me, and it's available just everywhere. And try to avoid the foods that give you gas in the first place.
Good luck!

Try something called Beano or GasX, it's available at Wal Mart.

Everybody does it. I do it infront of my boyfriend, I just don't force it all the time, but if it happens, it happens.
Gas is from how much air you swallow. It's unavoidable to swallow no air, but hiccups, sighing, etc all make you swallow air.
There's nothing wrong with it, and if you get gassy after sex as I do, wait for it to build up a bit, then excuse yourself to the bathroom to get it out.
It's normal, there's nothing you or anybody can do but deal with it. He'll get over it
