Farting More Than 25 Times a Day? Here’s What You Should Know

Understanding Flatulence

Farting—also known scientifically as flatulence—is a completely normal part of digestion. It’s simply your body’s way of releasing gas that builds up in your digestive tract. On average, most people pass gas between 14 and 25 times a day.

But what if you’re going well over that number?

When Flatulence Becomes Excessive

Passing gas more than 25 times daily, especially if accompanied by other symptoms, may suggest excessive flatulence. While it’s not usually serious, it can sometimes point to an underlying issue in your digestive system that needs attention.

🚨 Common Reasons for Frequent Farting

1. Your Diet

Certain foods naturally cause more gas:

High-fiber options: beans, lentils, cabbage, onions, and broccoli
Carbonated beverages: soda, sparkling water
Sugar alcohols: like sorbitol and mannitol (found in sugar-free gum and snacks)
Dairy: if you’re lactose intolerant
Fructose & high-fructose corn syrup: found in many sweetened foods
