Ability to pass gas while standing

Heck, I only pass gas while on the toilet. I consider it a small but real disability.

Pass gas while standing??… no way!!…like Scott I gotta be on the toilet.  Sometimes some will pass while standing but I fight it every time because the outcome may not be pleasant.  This “pouch life”… it’s a real hoot

VERY rare if it happens. I have to be “reclining” on my side to be able to pass just gas. Or on the toilet.

Nope, I don't dare...too much risk!

If only we had that ability, it would reduce our bathroom trips because most of the time, its just a buildup of gas which feels campy, like a mini blast above to happen and then that cramp is released internally with a loud noise and it’s embarrassing in public.

You guys should try to lie down on your belly and try to release gas, its a nice relief,  Atleast when you’re sleeping.

This is not an ability that I have acquired after 2 years ☹️

I can only pass gas on the toilet, laying in bed or on the recliner.

I am grateful I can urinate standing upright, which was not the case for the first 6-9 months.

Fortunately, I can. Passing gas is a very similar experience  to when I had a colon. The only difference is when my pouch gets really full, I have trouble passing gas and it just builds up until I go to the bathroom. (This isn't common, though).

Every once in a while I can let a bit of gas while upright through without any mess, but that is always a surprise.  Lying on the side, belly, or inverting is my most reliable way to do it mess-free.  Unfortunately, it's really difficult to have a subtle fart when you have to get in a special position to do it!  I remember the sweet old days when I could stink up an elevator right before exiting.  Sigh.

It took about 15 years after surgery (have had pouch since 1997) but I can occasionally pass gas while standing.  I still remember the first time :-)
