Has anyone used rectal tubes for flatulence (gas) relief? I had never heard of them but recently was taking an exam and they had them on there. Gas build up is a common problem for my hubby so we're interested in whether they work or not and what anyone's experience with them was.

Thanks in advance!

Not to sound funny cause I can cut a really mean fart, but I know where one end of the tube would go, but just where would the other end go? If there's that much pressure keeping his rectal flapus (god i need sleep) closed when sitting, maybe another cushion.

I'm sorry, but my wife broke a dozen eggs after I carried them 3 miles on my wheelchair and she wanted to write funny stuff ab partners do. I think this is the opposite. Butt, if you find an example, I'd love to know. My wife can get lightheaded when I pass some mean ones, and a 12 footer to the window would be great. Mine, just soak in my chair or wait till I'm transferring..... Hope this helps butt I don't think it does.. There's always beeno or gas-ex but u don wanna cauza constipation..
