Farting was a real probelm immediately after my takedown. I tried passing gas and stool would leak out along. But now as its getting firmer its easier to fart plus when there's gas in my j pouch the pressure is more than normal. I just move around a bit and relax my but gas comes out in an instant. Its all about your reflexes lol. I've trained myself to know when its gas and when poop. It took some time and leaks but I havent had any in the past week . Plus I found if you can pass gas without using toilet I can hold off much longer. I am going 6x a day now after a month of my takedown.
