Woman Who Earned $50,000 A Week Selling Farts Hospitalised For Farting Too Much
She’s also announced her retirement.
Stephanie Matto, known as the fart jar queen, has been rushed to the A&E at the hospital with similar symptoms to a heart attack. The 31-year-old reportedly made way too many far jars after earning $200k from the business.
The doctors had quickly performed an EKG on her but later told the former ’90 Day Fiancé’ star that she was having too many beans, eggs, and banana protein shakes, all part of the diet she has for making her far jars.
Stephanie, who didn’t know better, thought she “was having a stroke and that these were my final moments. I was overdoing it.”
The Unfiltered user shared the day that led up to her hospital visit, “I remember within one day I had about three protein shakes and a huge bowl of black bean soup. I could tell that something was not right that evening when I was lying in bed, and I could feel pressure in my stomach moving upward.”
“It was quite hard to breathe, and every time I tried to breathe in I’d feel a pinching sensation around my heart. And that, of course, made my anxiety escalate,” she shared.
“I actually called my friend and asked if they could come over to drive me to the hospital because I thought I was experiencing a heart attack. I ended up going to the hospital that evening. I didn’t tell my doctors about the farting in the jar, but I did tell them about my diet.”
“It was made clear that what I was experiencing wasn’t a stroke or heart attack but very intense gas pains.”
She was later given a prescription for gas suppressant medications, which also means she had to close up on her fart jars business that grossed $1,000 per jar.
Stephanie’s favorite diet for her venture was banana protein shakes. It was definitely a business that started “on a whim” as she saw several requests. But she never imagined that they’d sell like hotcakes and the numbers began to soar.
“I began this venture by eating mostly protein muffins, shakes, and also hard-boiled eggs. Since then, I’ve decided to branch out a little bit and try some new recipes to keep it exciting.”
Her favorite food while making the jars was “black bean salad, onion, ham, and pepper omelets” combined with “a really great protein smoothie with lots of banana.”
“I think that certain foods produce better smelling farts, so I usually tend to go with the smoothies as opposed to things such as cabbage and eggs.”
She’s received a lot of negative comments and even death threats because of her business. But most of the time, people praised her as a “girl boss” and that she “inspires them to be unashamed of who they are and what they do.”
Yet, it did not stop the cash from rolling in, and she said, “I try my best to not react to these people and give them what they want, which is attention. In this day and age, we need to stop tearing people down for their choices.
“Especially if their choices are literally hurting no one.”
