Just go get a colonic. It's not gross at all.  I haven't had much luck with herbs and stuff--mostly they are just laxative-type products which make me sick, not feeling clean and slim like a colonic does.

Hey, Danny - flatulence is caused by a bacteria. Of course, Bean-o comes to mind from all their recent commercials. Natural product that fights it? Charcoal tablets. I'm not talking about chomping on a piece of coal; all drug stores and health food stores sell charcoal tablets or capsules, and their very effective. If odor is a big problem, check out flat-d.com. I understand they offer effective products.\n\n(nursing student)

Eat an orange:  Some cases of bad breath, particularly those caused by stress and taking drugs, are the result of your mouth being too dry.    Citrus fruits and other foods high in citric acid are very good at stimulating saliva. The acid also helps suppress the activity of some odor-causing enzymes, while the 'tangy' taste of lemons, oranges and grapefruit helps freshen your mouth.\n\nWhen bad breath continues despite your best efforts to remedy it, your problem may be more than just going a little too heavy on the onions. It can be a warning sign of a serious medical condition.  Bad breath is to be expected if you have a mouth sore, tooth or gum disease, sinus or tonsil infections or other problems in the oral/nasal cavity. It is also normal after dental surgery.  But it can also indicate gastrointestinal disorders, "problem" stress, tuberculosis, syphilis, dehydration, zinc deficiency, even cancer.  So it makes sense to do a self-check every now and then. Cup your hands over your nose and mouth, give a puff as if you were blowing into a balloon, and sniff your own breath. If it's bad, you can tell immediately by the smell.  If you've tried everything to remove bad breath and it still won't go away, then see your dentist or doctor.\n\n\nProbably one of the best ways to control bad breath is to use an oral irrigation device such as a Water Pik to 'irrigate' your teeth.  Using a Water Pik helps remove food and other debris that cause a lot of bad breath.\n\nTry the baking soda solution. You can add extra punch to your Water Pik by using a baking soda solution to clean your teeth.  You can brush on baking soda with a toothbrush and then rinse with water or use your Water Pik.  Mixing baking soda with warm water, pouring that solution into the Water Pik and using it to irrigate your teeth and mouth, is the best way.  Baking soda is a great remedy for bad breath, because it changes the pH in your mouth and makes it a less friendly environment for many bacteria.\n\nPerhaps the most overlooked way of eliminating bad breath is to brush the top surface of the tongue when you brush your teeth.  Although there are many causes of bad breath, usually the odor arises from the surface of the tongue, that's because the tongue is covered with microscopic, hairlike projections that trap and harbor plaque and food.  A daily, gentle brushing (including the top of your tongue) unlodges these odorous particles.\n\nBesides being instant breath fresheners, parsley and wintergreen also release pleasant aromatic substances into the lungs. The result: They'll be freshening your breath some 24 hours later.\n\n\nI hope this information may help you.  Good luck!!

Oat bran, always drink lots of water or hot herbal tea or coffee, get a mineral oil enema and use it, take stool softener or milk of magnesia. Have a specific time each day to try to go. Prune juice will only give you gas so forget about that.

Several things:\n\n1. Make sure you're using the right deoderant. I've been through three brands (I won't say who) because the first two didn't react well with my body chemistry and left me worse off than going without. Try different brands and see if one is better than the other. Also try spray vs stick vs roll on etc.\n\n2. Check your diet. Garlic and onions seep through the skin adding to door, as do several other vegetables that can cause gas and bodily odors. Don't have to cut them out entirely, but you might want to moderate your intake.\n\n3. Check your clothes. If you're sweating into your sleeves, your body chemistry may not react will with the fabric you're wearing. I had a shirt that, for reasons unknown, stunk like hell when I started to sweat. Finally figured it out and threw the shirt out. Haven't had a problem since.\n\n4. Make sure your body stays cooled inside and out. Heavy material in your clothes, too many layers, bad ventilation etc can all cause you to perspire more. Also keep hydrated. You may pee a bit more often but your body's own cooling system will be better fueled. (Incidentally, using the bathroom more often also helps your body cool off). \n\n5. Consider body sprays. Not something that will mask the odor, but something that will eliminate it. I'd suggest this stuff called Approach. I use it and it works great. www.approachit.net It's natural and safe, and it eliminates odor.\n\nGood Luck!

Lie on your back and relax completely so that your ab muscles are slack.  You can gently massage the abdonmen area and the gas bubble will move down the intestine until you fart.

Eliminate often. The gas mixes with what's in the intestine...keep the intestine clear and it reduces the smell...

Try with all your might not to mind it. Everyone else's fart, it's just yours was not in the right time and place but you know when you appear like you didn't care about it, they wouldn't care too. Just go on with your daily routine and just look on it at a bright side, you have a story to tell to your grandchildren when it comes. I'm sure it will be a sure hit.:p

drink a probiotic - called Kerfir - found at grocery stores and health food stores.  more powerful than yougurt - great for getting your bowel back to the "right" chemical balance.  drink lots of water and becareful if you eat a lot of fiber - slowly add fiber ( and you must drink plenty of water with any food containing fiber)

Some ways to lower your risk of developing halitosis are: \nBrush and floss teeth regularly. \nClean and replace your toothbrush regularly. \nAvoid mouthwashes with flavorings, dyes, and alcohol.\nAvoid stress and seek out ways to relax and resolve stressful conditions in your life. \nGet sufficient sunlight, exercise, and sleep.\nAvoid spicy foods and those that leave residues or get stuck in the teeth (alcohol, cheese, meat, sweets). \nGo on a cleansing or raw food fast to detox your body. \nChew parsley after meals, it is very rich in chlorophyll, a natural mouthwash. \nWhen you sleep, your salivary glands slow down the production of saliva allowing the bacteria to grow inside the mouth. Brushing your teach should get rid of the odor. However, if you skip breakfast, the bad odor may reappear.
