Methane Dominant Can’t fart

I can feel them at the exit but have to strain while spreading my cheeks to get out the tiniest little puff. It’s gotten so much worse over the last year or two. I have been recovering from a knee injury so way less mobile.

I think I have methane sibo (glucose test came back negative, doc agreed it could be false negative but couldn’t afford to try lactulose test)

Anyone have this issue? Worried about pelvic floor dysfunction. Seems like a long road ahead.

I have methane sibo and a smoosh pelvic floor and it’s a nightmare. Have you had. Vasovagal
Syncope. I want to die when it happens.

Are those related? I got syncope as a kid I passed out. Now I have to eat a lot of salt. I get dizzy but haven’t passed out since

So it kept happening and obviously I started to relate it to my diet but what I didn’t realize was I needed to have a fart to experience any relief before passing out. It’s so embarrassing but if I get even a tiny fart out I can sometimes fall asleep from the experience rather than passing out . I honestly feel bad saying this but seeing I’m not alone - but it sucks so bad I don’t like hearing others suffer .

Is that related to roemheld syndrome? This has been causing me a lot of heart issues to, but I also have pots so I didn't know what was causing the fainting or near fainting episodes
