Just hearing the word "fart" can make some people laugh. It's a funny word. When a fart is actually heard and/or the smell is detected in public, it may bring about even a bigger laugh, or it may make others feel disgusted. Although it's a natural bodily function, and everyone does it, this is the ugly truth regarding farts. If they don't laugh out loud, chances are they will raise their eyebrows, and try to conceal their smile and control their laughter. Regardless, the person who dropped the bomb will still likely suffer some embarrassment.

Farting is in fact very helpful to our bodies because it releases unwanted gas from our systems. It can cause problems if you try to hold in that fart, in an attempt to avoid humiliation, as it can cause stomach pains and other issues.

Try not to turn red. Say something to ease the tension - something cute, or clever, or funny or cool. Be gracious, and don't blame it on the dog - unless there really is a dog nearby.

    If you need to let extremely loud bathroom farts

    :

     

    1. If you're in luck, and nobody else is in the bathroom, don't hesitate to make it really, really loud, and let it all out. Holding your fart can have undesirable results.
    2. If you are sure no one saw you go into the stall, especially people you know, you can still fart as loudly as you can, even with people around. But try flushing to be a bit courteous, and don't leave the stall until that group of people has exited the room.
    3. If you're in a hurry, and have to exit the stall while there are still witnesses lingering in the restroom, don't let their comments bother you. Everyone does it. You mind remind them of that while they're snickering.
    4. After the fart, you can spray the bathroom with air freshener, if there is some available. You can also purchase Poo Pourri, a tiny spray you can carry in your pocket. It works very well. This is also handy after you've had a BM and don't want to leave a stench behind.

Whatever happens, try to keep a sense of humour about farts.

Smelly farts are rarely associated with serious ailments. They usually have more to do with the foods we eat, and the length of time gases are stored in our intestines. Foods that are rich in sulphur produce smelly gases. These foods include meat, eggs, cow's milk, cheese, cauliflower, broccoli, dried fruits, wine, horseradish, onions, garlic and other vegetables belonging to the cabbage family. These foods contain hydrogen sulfide, which causes the gases to smell bad.

In addition, when we try to suppress the release of gases out of our system, bacteria will start to produce more foul smelling sulfates.

• If you're prone to smelling farts, purchase some poo pourri, and carry it with you.
• If you've avoided foods high in sulfur and have a regular bowel movement and you still have smelly farts, something might be wrong in your digestive tract. Consult your doctor if you still suffer from smelly flatulence.

Should I apologize for foul smelling flatulence?

It depends where you are and who you're with. If you let out that foul smell with friends who know you well, of course there is no need for apologies. However, if you are in a more formal setting, like a meeting or a gathering then you need to apologize. It is quite embarrassing, but you can add a little humor. People should be understanding. Farting is a natural thing and often, uncontrollable. To spare you from fart humiliation, avoid eating foods that are likely to cause excessive farting and foul smelling gas.
