When I first got back to school in September, I started having a small problem. I would be getting this tiny little bubbling sensation right by my ass, and sometimes it would feel like I had mabye passed the tiniest amount of wind. Nobody appeared to be able to smell anything, I couldnt smell anything, but i still tried to get rid of it, with indigestion tablets etc. It went away after about a month.Now, after being told twice in a few days by different people there was a strong smell of shiz, i began worrying that it was me. I usually have wheat cereal and milk for breakfast, and about once a day (usually 3 - 5 hours after breakfast) someone would ask me if I farted, and I would say no. Then, as I began to get stressed about it, the minor farts returned. Every time I take a dump, i dont minor fart for a few hours. I stopped eating wheat cereal and milk for breakfast, and there was nothing for a few days (sept the miniscule farts/bubbling). On saturday, i returned to wheat/milk breakfasts, and was asked if I farted when i didnt think I had, and then same thing happened in one of my classes today, the kid was just like "Holy ####! Did you fart? Thats a stinker man..."See the thing is I cant tell when I do these farts that people smell, I know when I do these tiny odourless ones, and if I just knew when i did the smelly ones, I could just say "woops my bad" or "safety" (its part of a game) and nobody would really give a ####, instead of it looking like i just ###### myself. The real stinkers seem to last about 5 minutes and happen about once a day, 3 - 5 hours after my breakfast, and dont seem to happen when I dont have my milk/cereal breakfasts, which Im going to stop. But the annoying bit is I'm now paranoid I do stink of shiz, and keep smelling it, even when theres people telling me I dont when I ask I can still smell it! And I think the minor farts are slightly nerve related because they rarely happen at home.I also saw the "did you have abdominal pain" poll, and yes I did! Short stabs of it at random intervals between the age of about 8 and 12, they stabs would last about 10 seconds.I really dont know if I actually have IBS, either way, HELPAnd dont say "Stop with the milk/wheat" cause I'm going to!!!

this is exactly what my problem started as and at exactly the same time period. some of the guys i've been friends with for a while will say im crazy when its just me and them but in class along with other guys they slip in jokes now and then like i wouldnt notice. (if your familiar with the new lil wayne CD) they'll say "Damn im nasty", and comments about ###### right after i have the feeling that i guess they think i dont have the brain power to connect the two. he'd even look at me and make fart noises from time to time then later claim to have smelt nothing. anyway, i've completely changed my diet and started taking medicines for candida(which along with the leaky gas i have many candida symptoms as well.) after about 3 weeks on a diet of veggies and chicken/beef/fish the bubbles and gas have not changed. initially they lessened but are still there. the bubbles when they were bubbles i eventually learned to control by relaxing but it changed to a passing of small amounts of gas every 20ish seconds that i cannot smell but others can. ill continue on my regiment of threelac and anti fungals and hope for the best. i completely understand your situation and have the same symptoms and im going to see a GI tomorrow but as of now i have no quick fix. but dont get down about it. change your diet and see how it goes. and remember to report any progress. GL question are you usually constipated? and or have the feeling of incomplete evactuation after using the restroom?

Constipated? It often takes me a while to squeeze the $$$$$$er out, but i often go when I dont need to, like every 5 or 6 hours (and I dont eat a lot either), as I hate having to take dump when I'm at school or football or at the city. Feeling of incomplete evacuation? Dont really know what that means. I've never felt like there was more to come.And one of the kids whom I asked if I my small farts stink, really just WOULD NOT give a ###### about tearing me a new one if I did. And my small farts arent very frequent at all, coming like one every 10 - 15 mins at max. Though randomly in class someone will just go "Doorknob" to a fart nobody will own up to (which always seem to happen when I'm around), and one time it was just me and sum other kid walking home and he asked if I'd farted. Though people would say more if the farts stayed for anything over a minute or two. Trust, I come from a school were all the assholes and rejects who'll start a fight for fun go, and if my small bubble farts really did smell, I wudda heard about by now, and people wouldnt still be hanging round with me.

Most likely you are just lactose intolerant. Wheat can give people smelly gas as well, but way more people are lactose intolerant than wheat intolerant. Try switching to toast for breakfast for a while and see what happens.

I've been on a diet , I'm three days in and things are already massively better. No pain, no fecal odour, and much reduced bubbling/small farts. I'm lucky enough to come from a school full of 5 year olds trapped in 15 year old bodies. I was getting the bubbling/gas loads in a lesson and just holding it in, so I just thought "###### it", let it all out and said "safety", and me and my mates couldnt stop laughing for like 10 minutes cos it floated over to the geek table (no offence to any geeks here, one of my best mates from first school is a WoWC addict and I still love him).If u let out the bubbly gas as one huge fart, you wont get the gas again for an hour or two, go to the toilets to let it out inbetween lessons or before school, or if ur in a really immature school like mine, just let it out in lesson and have a good laugh.
