How Much Farting Is Normal?
The amount of farting considered normal depends on the person. Most people fart an average of 15 times per day. But, for some people, farting up to 40 times per day is normal.2‘Flatulence.’ Better Health Channel, www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/ConditionsAndTreatments/flatulence
Determining whether farting is excessive or abnormal is an individual thing. Each person must decide whether they are passing more gas than normal because what seems excessive for one person may be the norm for another. Fortunately, passing excessive gas is usually a short-term, benign thing.
