Farting More Than 25 Times a Day? Here's What It Could Mean
Understanding Flatulence
Flatulence—more commonly known as farting—is a natural result of digestion. It involves the release of intestinal gas through the rectum and happens to everyone. On average, a healthy person passes gas 14 to 25 times per day.
But if you're breaking wind more than 25 times a day, especially with other uncomfortable symptoms, your body might be trying to tell you something.
🔍 Why Are You So Gassy? Possible Reasons for Frequent Flatulence
Excessive flatulence can stem from several lifestyle, dietary, or medical factors. Here's a closer look at the most common culprits:
1. What You're Eating
Certain foods are notorious for producing more gas as they break down in your digestive tract:
-
Beans, lentils, cabbage, broccoli, and onions (high-fiber foods)
-
Fizzy drinks and carbonated water
-
Sugar alcohols like sorbitol or mannitol (often in sugar-free gum/candy)
-
Dairy (if you're lactose intolerant)
-
High-fructose corn syrup or excess fructose
2. Swallowed Air (Aerophagia)
Sometimes the problem isn't what you eat, but how you eat. Common habits that cause you to swallow excess air include:
-
Chewing gum frequently
-
Eating or drinking too quickly
-
Using straws
