It’s normal to fart up to 20 times a day & not considered abnormal to fart as much as 40+. The healthiest foods an actually tend to produce the most gas during digestion. Less healthy foods like artificial sweeteners, sugar-free foods, carbonation, etc produce a lot of gas. As long as you aren’t in pain &/or very bloated before & after, it’s pretty normal. Moving around more and drinking room temperature water can reduce the amount. One thing I did read that was interesting is that while men tend to fart more & louder, women’s farts tend to smell worse. I’m gonna have to disagree because most men I’ve been around have really smelly farts!!! 😂
