Passing Gas

RocketMember

I don't know if anyone else has to do this, but in order for me to pass as much Gas as I can, when I am able to is I have to bend over almost to a point of putting my head between my legs.

When I am not suffering from Pouchitis, I can pass little or some Gas, but when I bend way over, I can pass a lot more Gas. The problems encourted with this is I developed an Inguinal Hernia on both my left and right side (had surgery in 2009 and 2010).

I wish there was a better way to do this because it can get messy.

Subsky - Funny, I didn't say I didn't use a toilet, I do. But if I do not do that, if I try to go to sleep, my belly becomes a little extended along with gas noises and at night, its worse because then I cannot get to sleep.

I have a similar situation. When I am "done" using the toilet and I stand up, I can feel and hear rumbling down below that lets me know I need to sit back down for a little more. It's weird that that position causes/allows gas to pass when sitting on the bowl does nothing. Although "passing gas" is kind of a misnomer since it's virtually impossible for me to only pass gas.

I practically have to stand on my head so the bubbles will go "up" I quickly sit down and I'm able to expel them. I have a lot of cramping with the gas pains so I need to get them outta thee!
So I know what you mean! What's going to happen when I'm an old lady and have balance issues!

I can pass gas sitting and lying down. Never standing. I had to strike poses when my outlet narrowed, before my dilations, but I'm back to my normal now. I never " make a mess" though... I've always been ok at it!

I lay down on my chest then put my forhead to the floor and put my butt high in the air you will fill it slowly push its way to the exit then you can jump the toilet and let it all out....sounds goofy but it works
