I have a problem with a person at work who keeps on pumping, the problem is both smell and volume.

Anybody got any remedies for pumping??

Certain spices counteract the production of intestinal gas, most notably cumin, caraway and the closely related ajwain, turmeric, asafoetida (hing), epazote, and kombu kelp (a Japanese seaweed). Many people report that by reducing intake of most refined carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, potatoes and bread), the amount of flatulence may decrease significantly. The water-soluble oligosaccharides in beans that contribute to production of intestinal gas can be reduced through a regime of brief boiling followed by a long period of soaking, but at a cost of also leaching out other water-soluble nutrients. Also, gas can be reduced by fermenting the beans, and making them less gas-inducing, by cooking them in the liquor from a previous batch. Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus plantarum have recently been proven responsible for this effect.[4] Some legumes also stand up to prolonged cooking, which can help break down the oligosaccharides into simple sugars. Fermentation also breaks down oligosaccharides, which is why fermented bean products such as miso and tofu are less likely to produce as much intestinal gas.

Probiotics (yogurt, kefir, etc.) often reduce flatulence when they are used to restore balance to the normal intestinal flora. Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus which is a good bacteria to fight flatulence. L. Acidophilus makes the intestines more acidic so it maintains the natural balance of fermentation processes. Acidophilus is available in supplements (non-dairy is best). Prebiotics, which generally are non-digestible oligosaccharides, such as fructooligosaccharide, generally increase flatulence in a similar way as described for lactose intolerance.

Medicinal activated charcoal tablets have also been reported as effective in reducing both odor and quantity of flatus when taken immediately before food that is likely to cause flatulence later.

Best way to beat this is, eat a rank curry followed by a bowl of sprouts and get your own back on them the following day and warn them that is what will happen if they continue to fill your clean air with potent gases.

I would say Blokie that there is every chance that you would follow through and put the main course in your pants!

At work we have to call it pumping, it could be offensive if we call it anything else. Not that it isn't offensive if someone is doing it loud and smelly 10/15 times a day.
