Whenever I was in hospital nurses wouldn't let me eat anything until after I farted, when I asked women about this they all said that this never happened to them. So I asked a nurse about it one day and she burst out laughing. She said that's because "Ladies don't fart". She said there's no gender difference, no sign of peristalsis means you can't eat yet.

Whoever set the rule 'ladies don't fart' clearly never met my mother or her side of the family.

When I was a child we'd got round to her family's home for a little fireworks display. In between setting them off I farted. My uncle turns to me and asks 'What was that?' I responded 'fireworks.'

I heard the same, it wasn't good until people farted after surgery. They would celebrate it lol.

I'm living proof that women on the spectrum have 3x more the thunder powers. I'm definitely irl Xmen Storm. 1st autism seems to be correlated with digestive issues, 2nd autism-related PCOS gives me farts, 3rd treatment for PCOS also gives me thunder ⚡⛈️ and if I can't thunder loudly at home I'm unhappy. My mom and grandma do it loudly on the street .

The only things that helped me and I tried tons of things are probably teas somewhat, simethicone and enzymes because everything in the world edible including fiber and protein in meat causes farts. Upon research you have to live on mint, fennel, raspberry leaf and cumin tea to stop it. :screamcat: that's no way to live. Patience dock is definitely super good for diarrhea.
