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!

Normal: Three times a day is completely normal. The gas has to come out somehow. Let 'er rip!
