Happiness is a Dry Fart

Hi All!

Joanna recently retrieved this old thread from Sally's original board. I think it belongs here in the Poop Room. It should be required reading whenever any of us is down and out. Tee Hee.

Author Topic: About these pharts!

Since I have been on Asacol...10 days now.. I have had the most horrendous pharts.. LOOOOOONG, LOOOOOOOUD,and "deadly!"....LOL

If there were a contest some place I could win it hands down! My husband is in awe...LOL

Decades ago a doctor told him pharts were health... after some medical procedure and he has used that excuse ever since. So when he made a comment about mine tonight.. I told him they were healthy..he said so himself! He said yes they were but he didn't think they were supposed to take a layer out of the ozone at the same time! ROLFMAO!!

I must say it is kinda fun having pharts instead of crapping my pants all the time but I do wonder if anyone else has experienced these long, loud, ozone destroying "beauties"?????

Oh Granny

I've let some of the best ones ever rip - I'd like to be a part of that contest and pre-warn you...you've got competition!

Dry farts are GOOD things!

Let them RIP, and enjoy each and every fart.

Farting is a good thing.

Love,
Joanna

ROTHLMAO too! This is too funny, Grannyh, and right on target. I do think it is part of the healing stage (dry farts.......oooops, sorry, guess I should be ladylike like you and call them "pharts").
LOL! The trick is in knowing when we have improved enough to let 'em rip without fear of an accident in the panties!

Love,

Polly

Well, according to Nicolodian (sp?), the "average" person farts (excuse me, pharts) 15 times a day. If you ever have that contest, I'll send you Geoff to try and beat! When he gets going, it can be deadly, as you say, and he reminds me of this blurb he heard on Nick about it being natural and all that. He says he saves them up all day so he can "share" them with me. Aren't I lucky?

Katy

PS: After a severe gluten ingestion, I could join in the contest too.

Grannyh,

ROTFLMAO! The only time when I make a lot of music of that type is at the end of an episode, after the D has ended,(thank goodness), and my gut is deflating from all the bloating, swelling, and inflammation. For me, this only lasts for a day or two, at the most.

As Polly mentioned, the real trick is correctly recognizing where I am in the recovery process. Since a premature assumption of safety can be more than a little unpleasant, the first one or two decisions whether to let it rip, or run for the john, are not for the faint of heart.

pppppffffffffftttttttttttttttt

Excuse me! Butt, I think I'm ready for that contest now

polly Posted: 11-Mar-05 10:12

Katy,

Scott has been known to share them with me too. One of his tricks is to fart in bed and then hold the covers tightly over my head to make me a prisoner. As I complain and protest mightily, he laughingly reminds me that there is no way he could ever hope to match me in any contest involving disgusting farts. And he is right, of course, as y'all know so well! I can't believe I just told you about that.

Love,

Polly

Dear Wayne,
What do you mean "only a day or two at the most"? Like that's a short time? Your wind must not be nearly as socially unacceptable as mine!
Marsha

Dear Polly,
Isn't that what marriage is all about? Sigh.

self diagnosed Posted: 11-Mar-05 12:14

Peg,

That was disgusting! Where's that gavel when we really need it?

Polly,

I can't believe you wrote that either. And here I was, naively thinking you were a genteel, sophisticated professional, far above such primitive pursuits. LOL.

Marsha,

I wasn't referring to the duration of a single discreet event, but rather the total timeframe for such events. LOL. Actually, at that stage of my recovery, the "bouquet" is not too bad. While not quite as sweet as a baby's breath, at least it doesn't carry any risk of killing any birds that happen to be flying overhead.

Love,
Wayne

Mine have been going on (all day) since I started Asacol 10 (TEN) days ago and they would knock a buzzard off a garbage truck at half a mile... LOL

I am Laughing out loud Granny, WShen I first was diagnosed I remember praying for the day I could just plain fart, and when It happened I ran out of the bathroom and said honey! I can FArt!!!!! Of Curse there sat my BIL I didn't know had come in. Love Oma

Yes,

My last reaction to accidental intolerance ingestion was farts that would make a middle school boy envious.

Try this next time you want to impress someone: Go outside and place your posterior against the picture window and let it rip. You'll be amazed at how much reverberation you can get. Dave was proud of himself when he figured this one out!

Only here! Jean

jrhodo Posted: 11-Mar-05 17:11

Grannyh,

Any chance the Asacol has one of your intolerances in it?

Jean

moremuscle Posted: 11-Mar-05 17:58

You guys gross me out LOL!! Is it possible to smell the pharts this far away or is it just my imagination? You wouldn't believe the fragrance of mine before I went GF and all that good stuff - well, maybe you would believe it; I forget who I'm talking to.

Wonderful subject - I must say, grannyh, your humor is yet to be trumphed. Thanks for the laugh!

Love,
Karen

ENJOY!
Love,

Polly

After so many years of Diarrhea, I came up with this one.

Ask someone if they know what FWC means.

The answer is: The difference between Diarrhea and Constipation. Farting With Confidence.

I think you all know the feeling.

Jean,
We sure do know the feeling.

We'll have to add that one to our list of abbreviations.

Thanks,
Tex

I love the happiness is a dry fart. I saw that and actually used that with my dh one day and he got a kick out if it. It is so true though, I always want to do and little dance when it happens. When my daughter tells me that "I stink up her personal space" I tell her "at least Mommy didn't poop in her pants again."

Love,

Rose

I had a giggle at the phrase "happiness is a dry fart" when I was reading all the newbie info, so Mom dug up this thread for me. Needless to say, my giggle turned into quite the guffaw!

Thanks for this, and thanks, Mom, for finding this for me! LOL!

I love this!!! Happiness is a dry fart! No doubt about that...i can relate so much to this, though i do have to say since i cut out dairy the farts are going away some. LOL it's so good to be able to discuss this with people that understand!

Polly~i feel ya.....my husband says if he could bottle that smell, we could attack Isis and win! And he'd be a millionaire:)
