Lately i have been experiencing a random passing of gas. This has become quiet embarrassing because i am in school and it will happen in the middle of class.

I dont think that it is anything that i am eating because i haven't changed my eating habits at all, does anyone have any suggestions.

Not sure what the cause is... others on this board will have better advice in that regard.
Just wondering if simethicone will be helpful -- ask your doctor if you can take that. They have pills you can swallow or minty tablets you can keep in a pocket and chew like a candy :)

Things change over time it's probably something that you are eating and if you have taken antibiotics they destroy the good bacteria in your guts and that could be it.

When my C3 moves too far out of place, the nerve root gets impinged and I can't hold anything in :blushing02:
Meanwhile, when my lumbar discs are doing their thing, I get saddle anesthesia and can't get anything out!
Can't win...
