You could also make a loud noise by pretending to talk on your cell phone or turning up the music in the room before you release the gas. This could muffle the noise that inevitably comes with farting.
Try to walk towards an empty room or area so that you can finish farting when no one else is around you. That way, you will not need to feel embarrassed about releasing uncomfortable gas.
If you are on a crowded train, for example, try to get over to an empty car before you release gas. If you are in a busy office, head to an empty meeting room or common area and fart there so no one can be offended by the sound or smell.
Use fresh water when you boil the dry beans, as using the soaking water may give you more gas.
Eat fewer apples, peaches, bananas, pears, apricots, and raisins. You should also avoid prune juice as it can trigger your digestive tract to release gas. Eat fewer artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, green peppers, onions, radishes, celery, carrots, and cucumbers.
You should also avoid packaged foods that contain lactose, like bread, cereal, and salad dressing.
You can reduce the amount of gas in carbonated drinks by leaving them out, opened, for a few hours, until the carbonation is reduced.
If you do enjoy drinking alcohol like beer and wine, sip it slowly and pace yourself. Taking your time when you drink can cause you to swallow less air, leading to a lower build up of gas in your body.
