Is farting good or bad can you give me a full explanation i farts everday and its very smelly ?

Neither good nor bad: Farting -- passing intestinal gas -- is entirely normal. Every human being (indeed probably every land animal) farts many times a day. Once in a while, excessive intestinal gas or strong odor can be a sign of a health problem, especaily if there is also diarrhea, abdominal bloating, or pain. If you think your situation isn't normal, check it out with a doctor. But probably everything is OK.
