When I was on Metformin for my Diabetes I was really glad I lived on my own, cat didn't seem to mind
.
I no longer take Metformin, problem solved, antibiotics give me acid reflux
DM had a "wind" problem, she rarely eats bread or potatoes now & I think this has solved her troubles
Talking of "Old Farts", my DH farted long and loud the other day and said "now I know why old men are called Old Farts"
I remember as a child, my Granny (God rest her soul) farted in the garden and ran down the (long) garden to try and disguise the fact. The result was hilarious as it sounded like she was jet propelled down the whole length of the garden! At the end even she was laughing.
Makes you wonder! Maybe it's in the genes
Try the News and Politics threads. A lot of gas and hot air over there although I doubt they have any solutions. 
And Queen Elizabeth the 1st has a good story too.
Edward de Vere, one of her courtiers farted in her presence and was so embarrassed that he left the court for several years.
Eventually however, he returned and, paying court to his Queen bowed low (this time without the noisy consequences).
'Ah, De Vere' she said, 'how nice to see you back again. We have quite forgot the fart.'
that old people do fart more, but those farts don't smell!
Nfk; Being mindful of the fact that there may still be some ladies watching this thread: 
an old Merchant Navy friend, being fairly forthright, used to describe "toffy-nosed" ladies as having "odourless excreta" i.e. didn't stink, or words to that effect.
