My Embarrassing Problem My problem with flatulence occurs on and off. It is really bad when I am in school. I have to keep myself from passing air because it is embarrassing and very unpleasant for other people. The problem has been very bad lately, it started last week, and I am now trying to cope with it. I usually try to get rid of the gas before going to class. I go to the restroom when everyone else is in their class, turn on the electric hand dryer and pass air. That way the sound is not noticeable. Once during class, my instructor was giving a lecture and he walked to my row, then a loud growl startled him, (There is a gas build-up that collects in my stomach, because I try to hold it in) and he stopped and acknowledged it. I was really embarrassed. I didn't know what to do. He, at one point, asked if anyone would admit to the awful sound, and I truthfully told him it was me. It was impossible to lie at that point, because of how loud the sound was. I knew that all the other students around me heard it and would single me out, making it an even worse situation than it already was. I have been taking medication but it does not seem to work, in fact, it has made the problem even worse. I need a remedy to this problem. Can someone please help me, because this is affecting my school work and behavior. I am afraid I will lose control in class one day and "my cover" will be lost, which will cause me to be labeled with the awful words "Chronic Farter". |
