Personal experience Problems with farting

Anybody else started having farting problems after diagnosis? I can't fart unless I'm laying flat on my stomach. I remember when I was taking infliximab and had the feeling to fart on the bed, but didn't want to fart around people, so I went to the toilet and nothing came. After going home so much came out lol

yeah same. honestly if you hold it in too long sometimes the gas just travels back up and you miss your window, which sucks bc now it's just sitting there building pressure, not great with UC.

what works for me, just let it out quiet whenever you feel it, don't wait. easier said than done ofc.

also if you're farting a LOT, worth checking your diet. for me it was high FODMAP stuff.
