GroupFitness Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 This is so embarassing, my equivalence of snoring is to fart in my sleep. I guess I've always kind of done this but it has become more noticeable now that I live with my boyfriend. I constantly constantly fart in my sleep, the loud ones that wakes me and I'm sure him up. He's a good sport about it, sometimes he says something, sometimes not. But it's so bad that I do it as much as 20 times a night or more. No wonder we no longer have morning sex. The weird thing is that I get up in the morning and I'm fine, I don't feel the need to go to the bathroom or anything. Come to think of it, I never feel the need to go the night before either. It so embarassing that I'm thinking about sleeping on the couch..permanently.
fral945 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 What are you eating during the day and before bed?
Author GroupFitness Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 I don't eat anything out of the ordinary. Just normal dinner like fish or rice and vegetables. I eat around 7pm, go to the gym and we go to bed around 11pm.
2sure Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Not going to admit to anything, but IF I had this problem... I would take a gas relief supplement like GasX or Beano an hour before bedtime. Just sayin.
IcemanJB Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 There are things you can take for that. Maybe try changing what you eat just to see if it helps. Hey it happens to all of us. The only time I've ever woken myself up from a fart was when a girlfriend was sleeping with me. I actually started laughing about it after it happened, and she turns to me and goes: "nice..." and went back to sleep. Haha, what a good sport.
missdependant Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Maybe try eating a little earlier. If anything he probably thinks it's funny.
Star Gazer Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 My BF snores, and has been begging me to fart in front of him to "even the score" when it comes to embarassing bodily functions. He keeps saying how funny it would be, but I refuse. It's a hilarious conversation, really. I doubt your BF is offended... unless they're also... not pleasant to the nose!
burningashes Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Oh, ugh, I have the same problem, sort of. For some reason, I'm fine anywhere BUT at my bf's place. My stomach starts to bubble inside and growls insanely (even if I've already eaten), and I'm always worrying whether I'm going to rip a big one around him. You can actually hear my stomach and feel it boil, ugh. I've farted accidently a couple times around him, and I have yet caught him farting :/ I'm the pig here. One time, I had gone to bed a little early and were fast asleep. The next day, my bf told me that he went to lock the front door when he heard me fart a big one in my sleep, and the bedroom is on the opposite side of the condo, so it was pretty loud :/ We had a good laugh over it tho As long as your bf is understanding, don't let it bother you too much, but you may want to get it checked out by a dr, it may be a sign of a bigger problem. Or the doctor may have something to give you to relieve the gas
norajane Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I don't eat anything out of the ordinary. Just normal dinner like fish or rice and vegetables. I eat around 7pm, go to the gym and we go to bed around 11pm. Some veggies create a lot of gas. Might be something to look into and change what you're eating when you spend the night with him. Are you drinking some health food concoction? It's weird that it only happens at night, though.
rlindzie Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I have the same problem as BG! lol but i heard a dr. say that women tend to be more gassy than guys bc we have more intestine [ ours has to go around our uterus] there for more space where gas can form. i know it doent help but at least there is a reson why lol. i get real gassy around my bf and like BG you can hear my stomach turning across the room! and feel it as well, it is super embaressing! im so embaressed also bc sometimes while doin the do, im like 1 inch from rippin one, and on one ocassion i did! [a quiet non smell one thank the Lord] guys really do think its funny though i promise! i mean they do it around eachother everyday! hope you have some comfort in numbers! cuz there are a lot of us gassy girls! lol
4givrnt4gtr Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Ahhh yes...how embarrasing...since i tend to put myself out there anyway, let me tell you I had the same problem for a bit. My bf never said anything but i was sooo sure he noticed! In any case I started taking things out of my diet one by one to see what would make a difference. Turns out milk was the culprit. Even if i had it in the morning or early afternoon, it would cause havoc at night. So, if you are having your lattes or whatevers...those may be the cause of your noisy nights... I changed to soy milk and im 100% better... no more embarrasing...noises..in the middle of the night

This has to be the funniest thing i have ever Read! it almost seems like a joke. 20 times a night is insane, Go to the doctor! Take something before bed.
SoulSearch_CO Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 I don't think I do it 20 times a night, but my BF has told me I pass gas in my sleep. I think it's because I hold it during the day when we're hanging out and I relax in my sleep. He's not bothered by it - he says he thinks it's because we're getting more comfortable around each other. I told him I have no control over it when I'm sleeping! The plus is that I also snore. Yeah, I'm just an all around pleasant bed-mate, apparently. He snores, too - and I'm sure if I actually woke up during the night without awaking him, I'd hear him ripping them off. He does it "accidentally" while I'm conscious. It's wonderful hearing each other's bodily functions so intimately. It doesn't bother me, doesn't bother him - so I'm not worried about it. I blush and move on if he mentions it. If your SO is not hassling you about it, I don't see what the big deal is.
ruggy Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Have you tried sleeping on your stomach? Or, another thing that helps is Camille tea before bedtime. HTH.
becci-lee Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 i think we all do this, i know i do, but have you gone to the pharmacy lately?? the pharmacist will know, but there are some new pills you can take to stop gas, you should try taking them before bed, and maybe log in a notebook exactly what you are eating for 4 hours prior to sleeping for a week and check it out to see if maybe its to do with that
prettybaby Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Exactly; you can definitely fix this. It will probably be some trial and error for a little while, but you will find something that works. There are so many different pills for that type of problem. 20 times a night is not normal. My stomach also gets a little funky when I'm around my boyfriend, mainly because I still get a bit nervous and have those butterflies when we see each other. However, it's not to the point where I've let one slip yet You should definitely look into this. I'm sure you'll figure it out and get rid of this issue.
collegekid491 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 sorry, i can't join the club in saying i do this, I'm lucky enough to be a 'well behaved' sleeper lol. Take gas relief stuff, as mentioned. Or switch up your workout times, types of meals, when you eat, and see if it persists. If you do all this and it stays the same, take comfort in knowing you tried but there's nothing you can do. Personally, I wouldn't care less, if she let'er rip while we were... making the motion of the ocean... would be different!! yet amusing lol.
