I'm 48 - Why does everything make me fart now?

I mean, holy hell, it used to be just refried beans. No problem, switched to the veggie refrieds. Then it was dairy. I love cheese, but cut out all the dairy. Bonus: lost some weight. Sweet. The other day I ate some curry chicken from Trader Joes. Believe me, you don't want to be anywhere in the neighborhood when that stuff gets going. I scored some new spicy veggie burgers from Costco. Whoa! Anything with garlic... oh gawd do I pay. WTH?

Maybe you're just full of hot air.

You think the term "Old Fart" is a coincidence?

Try Prilosec OTC or the generic equivalent. I take one every other day.

it takes 40 years for the bacteria that inhabit your intestines to change from mutualists (that generate vitamins and nutrients for you) into parasites -- they are now mean and nasty and ready to rumble

Same thing happened to me a couple of years back, must be the age thing, I don't mind but the wife has expressed her opinion on the matter.

One reason to never buy cars (or couches) from guys over 45.

Maybe because you've now mastered "crop dusting" in stores?

I had burritos for dinner, that I made myself out of chorizo, onions, egg, and cheese. I feel sorry for my wife.

I'm 33. My whole life, what makes me fart the worst? Donuts.

I had that for a while. In fact it was so bad I'd walk back into a room an hour later and think Jeez who farted - opps.

The only thing that worked was taking a gulp of yogurt every few hours or so. It's not as bad as it sounds as there are some nice yogurts out there hehe. AND it must be the real stuff. None of this mamby pamby full of sugar stuff. After a week or two the forces of good won over the forces of evil and my farting stopped. Sure I missed letting a strong silent one go on the crowded bus, or knowing I was going to make the next person who got in the lift very happy...
