    hooray
    I ask my onc and he said it came with the chemo he said just pass it and go on...

    Never trust a fart
    This week I do not DARE fart. I hold it and run for the bathroom first. Normally about day 5 and 6 I get awful chemo farts. Then it gets better. This time I've had diarrhea since Sunday and no fart is safe...

    My family can never complain about my farts. Well, I guess my husband and oldest daughter could. But the other daughter and my sons are the most rotten smelling people around. Long car trips are torture... You'd swear something died in there.

    My husband snores most nights. He says I fart in my sleep, so we are even.

    OMG!
    You guys have me peeing AND farting!! You'd think public flatulence wouldn't be so horribly embarrassing after all we've been through, but it is! I haven't been on chemo in a year and a half, and i still have horrible problems with gas. Oh, no, i bring my pug everywhere i go now. Going out to dinner with friends...pug's coming along. Going out to dinner for a date? Pug's DEFINITELY coming along!! I went to this really popular gay hardware store that all my friend's said i had to see, and of course, that's when i developed the most uncontrollable toots. Every five seconds, just a smidgeon would come out, and you know those smell the worst. Thank God for Rainbow the pug, cuz believe me, she took the blame!

    Kathryn, i so relate to never trusting a fart. There is always a risk for me every time that it could possibly be much more than an innocent little toot. I wear diaper like pads everywhere i go, just in case. Nothing is more nightmarish than crapping your pants in public. Even the ostomy leaks, as nasty as they were, were not as embarrassing!

    Hugs everyone!

    OMG I thought that my insides fell out.

    After reading some of these posts I laughed until I cried.  My friends always had fart humor and we are in our 70's.  But, now that I am undergoing chemo and these are something out worldly.   What makes it worse is while I am laughing I am farting which makes everyone laugh as i get my large ozium spray out.

    You guys are the greatest!

    I've been rolling just reading this thread. How awesome are we?  Since getting my bag, I fart at random and there is absolutely NO controlling it. Usually they are just little "toots" that only I notice because I can feel them. Well, one day, while I was checking out at Walmart, Freddy (that's what I call my stoma) decided to let out a LOUD, LONG man sized fart and the cashier was looked at me like I had just ripped the head off a baby bird or something. Pure disgust was evident on her face.  I just casually said "shut up Freddy, no one asked you" and kept going.  My daughter had to excuse herself because she was laughing so hard she almost peed herself.

    I am so glad this topic is open. I recently had my chemo treatment and have been farting so much that I am irritated. The smell is a whole nother topic. I was in my car and farted and the smell was so toxic that I got mad at myself, got out the car, and slammed the door ? It's terrible.

    This question is exactly why I ended up here. I am grateful I’m not the only one who has dealt with horrible smelling gas. (Covid took the rest of my sense of smell so I am spared)!

    Ah, so many good names of past and passed members. A trip down memory lane, even if the thread was about the gasses.

    Hello MissTracy. I hope you found your answers, and stick around if you have any more.

    I am post chemo 7 years and everyday I still have major farting and I mean it sounds like a machine gun going off! Going out is so stress full that I am becoming recluse. I have had every test done by GI to find answers but they come up with nothing other than it's a side effect from chemo and radiation. He did mention that maybe to get my gall bladder out to cut down on fatty breakdown, but the last thing I want to do is have another surgery which would be a complete open up one since I have so much scar tissue from all my other surgeries. Any one have answers!

    I would stick with the farting, Mike. Scar tissue can become a real problem, with multiple surgeries - I am sure you know that.

    I hate to think of you not getting out and about, because of it, though. I hope you find a way around that, that does not include surgery.

    I am sure you have kept a diary of what you eat, and what might exacerbate the gas. I know the foods that set me off, most of which I am not willing to give up, so I am careful what I eat if I have engagements outside of the house.

    Good luck! Tru

    Hi Tru,

    Thanks for the reply. For me it is so hard to control my diet because everything gives me gas including just plain water! There are so many things I gave up eating and drinking because of it. Everyday is a struggle.

    I was thinking there was a big money invention here, but I googled ''charcoal lined briefs'' and guess what, they are out there already, on Amazon, and elsewhere. Maybe check that out.........................Dave
