Question 1

is it normal to be farting while urinating?

Accepted Answer

Not unusual: Often one exerts intra-abdominal  pressure to void (urinate) - this same abdominal pressure may also expel gas from the rectum.

Question 2

it is normal to fart like 20 times a day? should i be worried? thanks in advance

Accepted Answer

No,it is not: abnormal. Some people generate more gas than others.

Question 3

is it normal to have to fart a lot post-op gallbladder removal. i have not had a bowel movement yet so could be due to that.  i am eating low-fat food?

Accepted Answer

Flatulence: Flatulence is nonspecific and perhaps your digestive system has been altered after gall bladder removal. Avoid gassy foods, very harsh roughshod, carbonated drinks and take simethicone 1/2 hour after meals to prevent gas buildup.If constipation becomes problematic drink adequate fluids and try taking a gentle stimulant with stool softener like senokotS daily.

Question 4

i fart frequently every 5 minutes is it normal?

Accepted Answer

That's a lot: That is quite a lot of flatulence you have, to be discharging every 5 minutes.  Consult your doctor for some remedies, which could be supplements, diet changes, or counseling.

Question 5

i fart a lot when i get nervous. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

What's the cause?: Flatulence neither localizes your problem to small or large bowel, nor indicate severity or cause. You have described a gut that may be dysfunctional--but is this due to infection, sibo, motility problems, inflammation, ibs, ischemic disease, maldigestion, sphincter problem...? How long have your symptoms lasted, is there accompanying fever, bleeding, vomiting, tenderness? Change diet. W/stress?

Question 6

what causes farts that smell really bad and a lot worse than normal?

Accepted Answer

Giardia?: May things can upset the balance in your GI tract causing gas, bloating, and even changes in stool. Infection (recent antibiotics?), giardia (travel hx?), change in diet (might you be milk or wheat sensitive?), etc. You can try "pro-biotics" (lactobaccillus), or charcoal tablets, &amp; focusing on a healthy, balanced diet (note some foods cause more gas, see Dr. Google). If persists, see your doctor.

Question 7

my 1month old formula fed baby farts a lot, i think 20 or more a day.. is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Babys will often swallow air when drinking from a bottle. Clearly, that air has to get out one end or the other..........In addition, digestion of the formula/breast milk will also result in the formation of co2 and other gasses that the body removes by passage of flatus.

Question 8

is little gas farts normal ?

Accepted Answer

Flatus: Everyone has flatus to some extent. If excessive- have it checked.

Question 9

i fart a lot and it smells really good. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

?: Everyone is different.  As long as  other issues are occurring, no worries.

Question 10

is farting often normal? i fart  thrice a day

Accepted Answer

Depends on : This depends on how you define "often" but "thrice a day" is well within the normal range. Flatulence occurs when undigested undigested food is fermented by the microbes in our gut, producing gas as a byproduct. Some foods such as beans have starches we can not digest, leading to increased gas. Lack of digestive enzymes or imbalances of flora can increase this, but everybody farts sometime!
