You might talk to your doctor about the problem. I read once about an elderly lady named Naomi Johnson who went to her doctor to address a problem with flatulance.

She explained to the Doc that she had a problem with uncontrollable flatulance. Once every two or three minutes, she’d pass gas and could not help herself. While the farts were totally silent, they were quite obnoxiously smelly, and when she was in a social setting with some of her other elderly friends, they’d frown and move away from her whenever she starting passing gas.

The poor woman pleaded with the doctor to help her with the problem, pointing out that she had passed gas four times even during the four or five minutes she was discussing the problem with the doctor, which, she allowed, he had to have noticed due to the smell, even though they were completely silent.

“Can you help me with this embarrassing problem, doctor”, she asked?

The doctor leaned forward and keyed his receptionist on the intercom. “Ms. Samson, could you check Dr. McGee’s appointment schedule to see if she has any time available this afternoon?”

The patient asked, “What specialty is this Dr. McGee who you think might be able to help me with my flatulance.”

“Oh, I think I can help you with that problem. Some of the meds I have you on can sometimes contribute to excessive gas, and there are some dietary adjustments that our dietician should be able to advise you on which might also help. Dr. McGee is our audiologies. Ms. Johnson, I think we need to get your hearing checked.”

I once had an aunt that needed to see Dr. McGee but she had passed on, so all is fresh and silent in our part of woods.
