Dear Pastor,

I wrote to you already but I didn't get a response. I think that people should be allowed to pass gas in public. Whenever I hold it in, I always feel aches so I have to let it out. When I let it out, it is loud and unpleasant in smell so I am teased. What should I do?

Embarrassed

Dear Embarrassed,

When you are in a crowd or when people are around and you want to pass gas, ask to be excused and go and do your thing and return. Now, if you are in a situation where you cannot ask to be excused, just try and let it out little by little or silently without embarrassing yourself.

Pastor
