how do you pass gas?

Very carefully lol!! Joking aside, I know I cannot pass gas standing up so I don't even try....it's too risky. Sometimes sitting I'm successful but usually I have to be lying down. Or sitting on the toilet of course. I try to remember to take Beano (digestive enzymes) with my food to cut down on gas forming in the first place. I have found it helpful.

I can but only by accident. That might occur during rare moments while I'm running and I had no intent on passing gas at the time. Otherwise about the only time I've ever really had any control of it is at times when I'm lying on my back. On the other hand when I'm lying on my stomach, I have no real control over it

i tried beano and i think it wound up making it to my butt and burned. maybe im wrong and should try it again...

can i pass gas laying down if my stool is of looser consistency?

Basically, yes, because gas rises and if your butt is even slightly higher than the bottom part of your J-pouch, the gas should be close to the exit. I'd use some protection in case you pass more than just the gas. BTW....I like gas because I really feel it is a duct cleaner-outer. Once it is out of me, I feel "good to go" (literally) for quite some time!

ceeeeceeee! i literally just said the same thing to my wife. it kinda ejects the stool out. a blow out if you will

Yes, Tom! My feelings exactly! Whoosh!
