Excessive bloating and gas is a problem with IBS.I am rumbling even as I type.This would be a good place to start a guide for relieving the pressure(?) of this socially unacceptable occerance.I am very confused.I have to admit the bean scene from Blazing Saddles is one of my favorites.I am overweight but my but is in great shape from the workout it has gotten through the years.You know the one"ohpleasegodletmeholdthisonetillicanget tosomewheretoletgo"isometric butt workout. I will go with the first rule.ALWAYS warn co workers of the SBD gas.A True friend and professional would not let you go into the red alert zone without protectivegear.ie:gasmask,perfume,lysol or scarf.Love Pattee

YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST. I've been away from this BB fora few weeks and have missed much fun here's one for you about beans...Beans, beans they're good for the heartthe more you eat, the more you fartthe more you fart, the better you feel,so eat beans with every meal!heykate- fond childhood memories!? I'll share this with you too - my father used to proclaim after belching at the table, "that's my asthma". Hundreds of times over the years. I didn't find out until in high school, that asthma didn't cause belching! Man, was I the laughing stock of the class when I spoke out and disagreed with the teacher about symptoms of asthma!!! Bless you all and thanks...JC
heykate your family sounds just like mine! One of my dad's tricks is he walks around the house and says "Do you smell gas?" Everyone thinks he is talking about natural gas and takes these deep sniffs to try and find the source. This is followed by fits of gagging from the realization that this was a different kind of natural gas! My dad has IBS too and one day at the office there was this new receptionist so he tells her "if anyone calls I am in the library." Well she looked all over the office for weeks trying to find this library until she finally asked my dad. He laughed and said "well, when I tell you that it just means that I am going to the can and I will be awhile"! About the under the covers rule, my grandmother always gets stunk out of bed by my grandfather. One day she pulled the covers over his head and said "die in your own stink a..h..e!"When it happens to me, I just blame my 19mos. old.Here is my tip: If a baby is nearby just look at it's mother and say "I think they need a diaper change." Thanks everyone for sharing and giving me such a laugh!!

Nicol and JC - you guys crack me up! But mine goes on (of course). My father is notorious for grazing in the fridge. And our favorite place to chat is in the kitchen (next the the fridge) - and not a graze goes by that, as he's bent over - rear in the air - he doesn't, ahem, let one rip. It makes his day (followed by Mom's, Oh Fred!). Somehow, we never tire of giggling (must run in the family!).Pattee - you KNOW this will never go away, don't you? Oh ye of great ideas!

A little old lady goes to the doctor and says, "Doctor, I have this problem with gas, but it really doesn't bother me too much. They never smell, and are always silent. As a matter of fact, I've farted at least 20 times since I've been here in your office. You didn't know I was farting because they didn't smell and are silent.""I see," says the doctor. "Take these pills and come back to see me next week."The next week the old lady goes back to the doctor. "Doctor," she says, "I don't know what the heck you gave me, but now my farts, although still silent, stink terribly!""Good," the doctor said. "Now that we've cleared up your sinuses, let's work on your hearing."

Bud and Jim were a couple of drinking buddies who worked as airplane mechanics in Atlanta. One day the airport was fogged in and they were stuck in the hanger with nothing to do. Bud said, "Man, I wish we had something to drink!" Jim says, "Me too". Y'know, I've heard you can drink jet fuel and get a buzz. You wonna try it? So they pour themselves a couple of glasses of high octane hooch and get completely smashed.The next morning Bud wakes up and is surprised at how good he feels. In fact he feels GREAT! NO hangover! NO bad side effects. NOTHING! Then the phone rings .... it's Jim.Jim says. "Hey, how do you feel this morning?" Bud says, " I feel great. How about you?"Jim says, " I feel great too. You don't have a hangover?"Bud say's "No that jet fuel is great stuff - no hangover, nothing. We ought to do this more often.""Yeah, well there's just one thing ...""What's that?""Have you farted yet?""No.....""Well, DON'T, 'cause I'm in PHEONIX!!!"
