I’ve been farting a lot for my entire life, but especially while sleeping. I usually sleep on my side, curled up, but sometimes on my back. I don’t have any allergies or similar things that could be causing this as far as I know.

For example, last night was like this:

  • I lay down, I fart twice
  • I adjust my position, I fart again
  • I roll on my left side, I fart
  • I get up to fix my bed, I fart
  • I lay down again, I fart

This is rather unfortunate because I like sleep with my head under the blanket.

    Do you hold your farts in all day? My SO does, and when she goes to bed a few minutes before me, she will toot like the brass section of a big band sometimes. Practice letting them out silently during the day instead, all that gas has to go somewhere, you can’t just hold it in

    How long before bed do you eat? And what kind of foods do you eat? Have you tried using the washroom before bed?

    gas, trapped in the bowels when sitting or standing upright, is given an avenue of escape once the body lies prone

    Probably has to do with your body relaxing, similar to how dead people are prone to shitting themselves.

    Just a guess tho I’m not a medical expert.

    Might be a bit random, and perhaps a bit far fetched, but are you able to burp?

    I’ve been struggling with the same thing for most of my life and was diagnosed with R-CPD ( retrograde cricopharygeal dysfunction a couple of months ago. Fortunately there is a treatment that is as good as 100% effective for this diagnosis.

    (No burping = excessive flatulence)

    Do you know why you fart? Are you secretly lactose intolerant but don’t know it?

    Walking will help sort your guts out as well, so by going for a late walk, you can take the problem to the outside!

    Otherwise it’s probably just a question of your gut biome having a lot of gas producing parts.

    That last line was the funniest thing I’ve read in the past few days, so thank you for that.
