Has anyone else had this happen?

I was in bed with an upset stomach, a fart came with a bit of force for some reason and it was loud and a bit of poop came out with it, something that doesn't happen often.
I had to put my underwear in the washing-machine and get out a new pair. I've tried going to the bathroom, done a little bit.

Now I'm scared to fart again in case I make a mess again. My tummy is very windy and bubbly and very painful, but each time a fart comes I hold it in because I'm not sure what will happen?

What can I do? I don't feel too well, belly won't stop gurgling and bubbles causing bad pains as they move around. I'm rubbing my belly from side to side but it's not helping much.

  1. It's okay, I done a few farts on the toilet and no more poop, and so I felt safe to let them out in bed. They came out rather explosively but only gas, nothing more. Each fart may have felt and smelt disgusting but made me feel better each time.

    1. I too have EXPLOSIVE farts, For me, avoiding high Fodmap (see diet) foods helps and taking GasX or similar products (antacids). Also after dinner (my worse time) I retreat to my office play games on the computer at the AARP site and have mint tea and my Metamucil cookies. All this doesn't always work but things are much better.
