So, often times when I'm around my friends and family they have no issues with me pulling my knees up in the middle of a conversation and passing gas. I have an issue, though, when it comes to being around people I don't know too well. Smell is not too much of an issue. It's more the noise. I am sooooooo noisy lol has anyone found a way to pass gas quietly without having to excuse yourself and go to the bathroom?

A large fraction of us are unable to safely pass gas away from a toilet without risking a mess. I'm jealous of your skill.

Lol Scott.... ... I have a stoma now. It does what it wants when it wants. Not embarrassed by it.
But with a pouch... No way. The few times I could get away with it was well... Really nice!
But no way to pass quietly. Nothing came out quietly!

Wish there was a solution to this one - if there is one, I have never found it in 30 years with pouch. Loud, explosive gas is just part of it for me. (true that when had stoma - this was not a problem). I try to plan around this type of thing by not eating much when I'm out with people - men don't seem to care - many women do. I also have to clean my toilet every day due to the lovely spray of shit all over it. Wish I had an answer - I have not found one to this one and if someone has, I'd love to know it. Gas x, charcoal tablets, etc. etc. - nothing worked for me.
