yes, it is ,the release of gas built up in your system  is important  to release as nature intended --- all this talk of it being impolite is killing us. colon rectal cancer, ulcers any number of gastrointestinal problems can be linked to not farting when the  need presents itself .no matter where you  are you should freely pass gas and remind people that you are only doing what is natural.

its not just about proper hygene but proper diet too.  If you eat the right food, ther fluids in your body are neutralized thus producing hormonal balance and lesser odor not just for the vagina but also for the whole body.  and yes.... its suppose to stink..... I should know, I'm married!

I have had all sorts of gas passed upon me during "you know."\n\nWhile mowing the lawn, I have passed some of the best gas of my life.  It's the perfect opportunity!  A noisy lawn mower drowns out the sound, the smell of freshly cut grass masks the smell....  You can give up weeks worth of pent up farts with one mow of the front yard.  Just be careful you don't soil yourself straining.

Perhaps there is nothing intrincally wrong with you.If you know that   certain things give you gases better try to avoid them. That  on some occasions they do not do so is not argument to take them. Perhaps at that particular time some other factors may have given you the respite but the fact remains that they eg. cabbage don't agree with you.One of my friends got gases when he drank tea. He found out hat the milk in the tea was the villain of the peace when he had gone into the interior where no milk was available and had to drink black t ea.It is advisable to set with you feet folded beneath you for 10-15 minitues after each meal. The gas will pass out ,sometimes noisely but the stomach would be rid of them.But the main think is  look before you eat.

Cabbage smells bad. You will have the worst gas ever. You might as well eat White Castle soup!

two causes of passing gas\nAir swallowing (aerophagia) is a common cause of gas in the stomach. Everyone swallows small amounts of air when eating and drinking. However, eating or drinking rapidly, chewing gum, smoking, or wearing loose dentures can cause some people to take in more air.\n\nUndigested food passes from the small intestine into the large intestine, where normal, harmless bacteria break down the food, producing hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and, in about one-third of all people, methane. Eventually these gases exit through the rectum. The balance of the two types of bacteria may explain why some people have more gas than others. \n\nExperience has shown that the most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing diet, taking medicines, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.

Yes, this could have caused a flare-up. We have many sensitivities. I have one to odor too. A friend sprayed an ozonator (sp?) in our house one time and I was vomitting within 5 minutes. Ug! I also know a hair stylist that could not tolerate the acrylic nail fumes, she did not have Fibro but another immunosuppressant disorder.

Beans and other legumes (plus onions and cabbage) contain a type of sugar called oligosaccharides, which we can't digest.  The sugars are instead eaten by bacteria in the large intestines, which in turn release gas.\n\nIt really isn't the gas that smells though - that is caused by trace amounts of other chemicals that never leave the gut.  Onions and garlic are prime offenders in this part of the equation.

Echninacea helps boost your immune system.  If possible, buy it from a health food store as opposed to something like Walgreens.  There is a wide variation in quality.  \n\nDitto regarding the comment from the person about taking vitamin C.  Vitamin C is water soluble so you technically can't overdose on it, but try to space it out throughout the day as your body can only absorb so much at a time.  \n\nIf you do get to go to a health food store, buy vitamin C from a naturally derived "whole foods" source.  I have tried at least a dozen brands and find the "whole food" source is most effective.  It's made from real food, so your body recognizes it and seems to utilize it better.  One brand I recommend is Garden of Life Living Vitamin C.

vitamin C is an antioxidant, that is also involved in the immune system.  if you're maintaining enough vitamin C in your body, then taking more is just going to make your urine very expensive, and you will simply excrete it.  having enough vitamin C will aid in warding off illnesses, but will not guarantee it.  not having enough may incline you towards becoming sick easier as your body's immune system isn't at it's fullest.  although, while you are sick, your body may use up more vitamin C as it's fighting off the infection, so that increasing your intake to offset the increased utilization would be recommended.\n\ncolds and flus are caused by viruses however, and so there is no direct relation between not getting sick and vitamin C (again this is in your case where you probably are fine).  to defeat a virus, your body must mount the appropriate defense - this based on your previous exposures and your immune system (which for unknown reasons can vary greatly from person to person).  viruses and colds are also shared by contact with infective agents.  perhaps the reason you did not get sick, was because you were not in direct contact with your bosses (typing on the same keyboard, sharing common space) or perhaps your hygiene is better (washing your hands for 30 seconds with soap and warm water, not touching your eyes and mouth).  Finally, you could have been exposed, but your body either recognized the virus and was able to mount a quick immune response, or your immune system is simply better at fighting off infection.  Note that by the time you start showing actual symptoms, the virus has already established itself.  The symptoms are your body's response to get rid of the virus (fever, runny nose, sore throat, etc).

Yes, vitamins (and other supplements, too, actually) can make you feel sick to your stomach.  Try taking them with food and if that doesn't help, scrap the "mega" brand and go with a lower dose.  Good Luck!

Yes, you can have gas pains all over.  Whenever I've had this problem, a couple of tbs. of an antacid has relieved the pain.

No. Quite the oppisite, the vitamin C is good for you.
