I'm really surprised by your eye-popping colleague's shocked response. I'm assuming you're working in a technical environment, and if so, then she should really be used to the farts by now. When I began work in the heavily male-dominated field of aerospace engineering, the hardest thing to deal with was the amount of farting that gets done in an office full of men, particularly men who feed constantly from a burger van parked five feet away from the building. People complain a lot about the endemic sexism in science and engineering, but for some reason nobody ever mentions the passing of gas as a reason for women leaving the sector.
Anyway, my point is, if your colleague has been in the business for more than five minutes she should be used to both the farting and the inevitable raft of fart-related jokes and remarks that accompany it. I'm not sure this will make you feel any better, but it should.
