SO what if I farted at the MD's office?
WHattttt? Did I just hear you say that?
I don't think anyone would deny ever having a bad GIT day when it
becomes literally impossible to hold back a fart. As funny or
embarrassing as it may be,it does happen. There was this one time i had the experience and it was so bad I thought I was sick. But oh no I
was'nt sick,I just had to go back to the drawing board; what i ate and
how often i opened my bowel.
ONE thing i hate the most is the stink that accompanies the fart,it
can be so bad that you may want to choke at your own fart,now think of
the person right beside you(Ahhhhhh! Lol). Another embarrassing thing
about a bad GIT day is when you have this important appointment to
keep or when you are alone whit just one person(definitely the person
go catch you na! Lol). Back then in primary school,if na you mess,na
you go first ring the alarm in order to avoid suspicion ooo!
WELL, the major thing is that it is very embarrassing if you eat
proteinous foods, don't go to toilet for 2-3 days and you just can't
help but pass wind(s).
FLATULENCE,the medical term for fart,can be caused by swallowing too
much air,eating foods that do not digest easily or an underlying GIT
condition like irritable bowel syndrome. A man will naturally fart
between 14-25 times a day and a woman 7-12 times per day. If you pass wind more frequently than this wahala dey!! Especially wen you chop beans...
I have learnt something that can really help;
-Drink plenty of water;it helps to prevent constipation and also aids
in digestion thereby reducing excessive flatulence.
-If you frequently swallow more air you may find that you suffer from
excessive flatulence. You may swallow more air than normal if you chew
gum frequently,smoke or suck on objects,drink carbonated drinks or
swallow food whole instead of chewing.
-I like food alot so i won't tell you to avoid any particular food,but
if you have an important meeting or occasion don't eat foods like
beans,cabbage,egg or apples before the appointment,instead take foods
like rice,bananas and potatoes because they digest easily.
-Please visit the toilet at least once daily. This is very important
if you must go out trust me you don't want to be standing there
presenting that wonderful proposal/idea and 'the wind' comes suddenly
to blow your boss off his feet. No wonder my people dey call am 'mess.'
-IF you suffer any other symptom alongside flatulence please there may be an underlying GIT problem,visit a heath facility early enough.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
