Recently I have had some attacks of absolutely acrid farts. This is TMI: they sort of burn coming out and they smell like rotten eggs and toxic waste. They are hard to hold in. Needless to say, they are unwelcome. I am sort of an on and off coffee drinker. I recently took out of the freezer some Folger’s decaf coffee (sorry coffee snobs, we were on a budget and and I was pregnant). I also had and drank some Folger’s regular. I don’t know for sure that’s what caused them, but I threw it away and got some new mild Sumatra from the coffeeshop down the street, and I haven’t had any problem for a couple days. However, this thing can be on and off – it’s happened on and off for about 3 weeks. I’m trying to assess the variables, and I am thinking it might have been the age of the coffee. I’m remembering that I also had them when we went to visit my brother for Thanksgiving, and their coffee might have been old too, because they don’t drink it often. Has this happened to anyone??
Are you still pregnant? Because there was a girl I used to work with who was and once she stunk up the elevator so bad I got off on 2 and walked to 10.
Let’s hope it’s the coffee. I’m going to be really pissed if I start to lactate.
But at least you’ll be able to make lattes!
Huh. I get that same thing when I have a protein shake after a workout. I don’t know if it’s the whey powder or the fact that lately, I’ve been using bags of frozen fruit that have been in the freezer for a while and may be expired.
