If not, then what about rarely instead of never?
I can guarantee that if you drank pure petroleum and ate quicklime then you would spend the rest of your life without worrying about farts.
In short, no. To explain: you have a bunch of beneficial bacteria living inside your digestive tract. These little guys help you digest your food, and in return they get a free meal. This basically means that the food you eat ferments into poo. Fermentation always results in gas being released (think how the plastic wrap on a bowl of dough can puff up as it proves.) So to sum it up, unless you drank a strict water-only diet, anything you eat can give you gas. (Even then, you would probably still naturally swallow some air with the water, and some would make it to the other end as a fart.)
So we go to no pooping for 3 days to now someone wants to stop farting. What is going on here in lemmy?
That first guy went 3 days and then posted a follow-up looking for constipation relief.
Seems that opened the floodgates. 😏
Our stop up the dam more likely.😹
Neat fact: Late in WWII, Germany deployed a rocket fighter. This rocket could climb to 12K in a three minuets. Consequently, the pilots had to eat a special low fiber diet to prevent gas because the change in pressure caused severe intestinal distress.
Of course that was the least of the pilot’s problems. The Me163 was so crazy dangerous it made OceanGate look as safe as the Bank of England.
This is precisely the answer I was looking for, though I didn’t know it when I asked. Thank you!

a traditional minuet is ~4 minutes long, assuming meters, that would be roughly 2400 Km/h average speed

You’re just saying that because part of the fuel mixture would burst into flames when it came into contact with pretty much anything organic and had to he kept in aluminum containers because it would eat its way out of anything else.
And don’t forget that the other part of the fuel mixture would also burst into flames when it came on contact with pretty much anything organic and had to be kept in glass containers because it would eat through aluminum.
bro is doing the 3 day no fart challenge 💀
It’s impossible to stop eating beans, so no
The magical fruit.
why would you want to give up one of life’s little joys?
Take it from me. You don’t want to give up farting.
There is a diet created by Monash University researchers called the Low FODMAP diet. Essentially FODMAPs are harder to digest sugars that exacerbate GI symtpoms, like farts and cramps. Most people won’t see or feel much of a difference but those with GI issues (or those with a fart journal) may see a difference with the diet
However it is a rather strict diet to keep at first until you start reintroducing foods to figure out which foods cause the gas, so I would only recommend it if the gas is extreme or there is cramping or other GI related symtpoms.
I was on the diet for over a year by recommendation of a gastroenterologist and can confirm that after some time the farts were kinda rare and not the smelly kind. But like others have mentioned, farts are natural and cannot be eliminated.
Seconding the FODMAP diet. I adhere to it pretty strictly due to GI issues. The only farts I have now are due to swallowed air.
I believe there’s a different technical term for mouth farts.
Haha, yes, but I rarely burp, again due to GI issues. If I chew gum, I fart. Otherwise, I’ll go days without any.
I REALLY wish FODMAP worked for me. I hear everyone raving about it, but may of the “safe” foods aren’t safe for me, even in their tiny amounts, and non safe foods are fine. sigh

Eat no or little processed foods, lots of vegetables, moderated meat, and move around so that your guts can work (digestion is a physical process), eat more in morning and lunch, light dinner early, drink a lot of water, and you’d be surprised how many health problems go away
This is like the opposite of what they asked though. They didn’t ask for healthy, they asked for less farting. Lots of vegetables will make lots of farting.
Thats nonsense. Where did you fet that idea?
With occasional exceptions, eating well (etc) and not-farting are in the same Venn diagram.
Lol are you arguing in favor of eating poorly? Why?
Increased fiber intake induces more farting. Beans, beans, the magical fruit…
This. When I used to work a very physical job (2.5k+ Cal per day min) I never had flatulence. My diet was also better, but I ate a ton. Like so much food, but I guess that’s what happens when you burn more calories in a day then most people do existing. I do not miss that job, I do miss my old body. It would be impossible to get that amount of exercise naturally.
Gut ecology is complex and everyone’s is different and it changes over time and with age and when you have to take antibiotics, etc. There’s no one sure-fire way to just eliminate it.
Stop eating anything with high fructose corn syrup. I promise it works.
My gf almost never farts. She’s given me a complex about it, i stg. She says she trained herself not to by sheer willpower, and in spite of living together for almost 2 years, I’ve only caught her like twice.
She says she trained herself not to by sheer willpower
Does she burp a lot instead? Maybe she’s pumping it back up the other way. Kind of like how railguns vs. blasters work lore-wise in EVE Online:
Consists of two components: a shell of titanium and a core of antimatter atoms suspended in plasma state. Railguns launch the shell directly, while particle blasters pump the plasma into a cyclotron and process the plasma into a bolt that is then fired.
Omg 😆 that’s a spectacular reference in this context. I miss eve online.

The rare farters always release it all in their sleep.
Cyanid comes to mind.
I hardly ever fart, the rest of my family are a veritable natural gas factory. I do not eat sugar, or dairy and an vegetarian. Lots of black beans, not magical fruit for me. I never eat processed foods, and hardly ever eat bread or other gluten… I do have pasta once a week or so
Wow.You and I would not get along.
Just because of different foods? You’re a precious one.
Probably because he exudes gases through his pores or something as nothing he said has bearing on farting frequency.
