Brazilian singer Viviane de Queiroz Pereira taken to hospital after refusing to fart in front of boy

As the saying goes, better out than in.

And Brazilian singer Viviane de Queiroz Pereira learned that the hard way after being taken to hospital when her reluctance to fart in front of her significant other resulted in a dangerous gas build-up, the New York Post reports.

She detailed her gastrointestinal fiasco in an Instagram story for her 15.7 million followers, which has since disappeared from her feed.

“I woke up at 5:30am with severe stomach pains and ended up in the hospital,” wrote Pereira - known by her stage name Pocah - in the post, which included photos of the 27-year-old star in hospital.

The singer explained that she wasn’t on “farting terms” with her boyfriend, and became unwell after her stomach started to hurt thanks to an “accumulation of trapped gas”.

Trapped gas occurs when methane does not move through one’s intestines normally, causing sufferers “sharp pain or discomfort in their abdomen”.

This condition is generally caused by certain foods and underlying medical conditions, like irritable bowel syndrome, rather than abstaining from flatulence.

Thankfully, doctors were able to relieve Pereira.

“But that’s it, guys. I’m medicated and I’m fine,” insisted the singer-songwriter.

“Girls, don’t be ashamed to fart in front of your guy, because what’s really embarrassing is not letting your guy sleep because you’re in discomfort, going to hospital with your guy, and the diagnosis being ‘trapped farts,’” said Pereira. “From now on, I’m letting them rip, guys.”

She’s not full of hot air. In a September video PSA, popular TikTok doc Karan Rajan warned people to never pass on passing gas, as otherwise, the farts could come out of your mouth.
