Hi and thanks for your response. I had a full work up including a colonoscopy and everything was as it should be. I literally just started a probiotic and I’m meeting back up with my dietician shortly. I’m going into my second year of this and it’s ruining my experiences because it’s hard being present when worried about embarrassing flatulence.

Farts are made by gut bacteria, so I recommend having your gut biome evaluated. From a dietary perspective, eliminating air in food might be helpful-- whipped or foamed foods, leavened bread (anything with air holes like sourdough), etc.. If you're eating sugar free candies, those will definitely mess you up. Go without for a week to see if it helps. Anything containing allulose, chicory root fiber, or other sugar alcohols is a prime offender. Lastly, consider eliminating drinking straws. Sending best wishes-- sounds very frustrating!
