Hilarious! I was always nervous about queefing in class. I actually don’t fart much anymore since I went GF. When hubby farts I call it a gluten fart. Seems like they happen after a sandwich or with a big load of some yummy baguette or croissant.
There's actually a great T-shirt worn by Carissa Potter from "Bad at Keeping Secrets" that says “Georgia O'Queef” in big block letters. It's so funny that I may have to get it just to make people laugh in class, but I recently learned from, Kim Vopni, The Vagina Coach, that you can use a “pessary” so that you don't queef or have bladder leakage in yoga class if you are experiencing this sort of thing. Here’s a Pessary 101 podcast... https://podcasts.apple.com/ro/podcast/all-about-pessaries-orthotics-for-your-pelvic-floor/id1666065141?i=1000605273041
The story of the English nurse daughter and mum making one in their kitchen in their little village is just a riot, but back to the gut... I think going gluten-free changes so much for people, but each person's microbiome is so unique, it really seems to be a moving target over a lifetime. We're all figuring it out. xo
My dad always said, it's when you CAN'T fart that there's REAL a problem, lol. My ex-husband was always funniest Fartist because it was always accompanied by a Seinfeldian "WHAT was THAT?" I still laugh about that guy farting.
I think the point of the Harvard research is that the Gut is like a lifelong game of Comedic Improv and the more you play "And then..." with the story by changing things up with different friendly balances of probiotics and healthy eats, the longer you tend to live and the better you tend to feel. For me, it's all about feeling better. There's no point in living to 200 hundred if you have to undergo vampiric youth blood transfusions every week and abstain from nookie like that waxy-ass billionaire Bryan Johnson? He is SO misunderstanding the assignment, lol.
Oy vey, that guy....! He's gonna make a gorgeous corpse, I guess. I completely agree with your dad. I've known so many women, in particular, who claimed they just "didn't fart" but had serious gut health problems. Somehow the not farting was a serious point of pride, which I suspect has everything to do with sexist conditioning around women's bodies. Remember the NYT article about the group of single mothers who, during the Pandemic, met up somewhere in a field every week to just scream their stress out? I wish women would do this with farting, it could help so much!
1000% agree. Maybe we should organize a national fart amnesty day... where all can fart freely everywhere without judgement? It could be sponsored by under-celebrated gassy foods??? And I think that NYT primal scream hotline got something like 20k calls from moms--which I totally get, lol.
I want that t-shirt. Haha. I will have to listen to this podcast. Maybe while I’m cooking dinner. Haha.
Please tell my mother what you just said about the gut biome being individual. She thinks I don’t eat because of my intolerances. I eat! A ton! Sigh.

It’s not fair you can make me laugh this hard.
Aww... :) Huzzah for Dopamine!!!

Fortunately I live with someone who is a gifted Fartist, otherwise co-habitation during this time in midlife would be tricky. My general de-bloater is this stuff, which is the only genuine game-changer I've ever used beyond probiotics: https://intelligenceofnature.com/products/gut-health-supplement?variant=39683630202934
