why do i fart so much

Excessive farting happens mainly because of gas produced in the intestines during digestion, swallowed air, food choices, or underlying health conditions. Common reasons include eating gas-producing foods (like beans, broccoli, dairy, and high-fiber items), swallowing air while eating or drinking, carbonated drinks, food intolerances (like lactose intolerance), stress, and certain gastrointestinal disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or celiac disease. Farting is normal up to about 25 times a day, but more frequent or uncomfortable flatulence could indicate diet issues or a digestive problem that might need medical attention. Changing eating habits, reducing gas-producing foods, eating slowly, and managing stress can help reduce excessive farting.
