Is it normal at the age of 30 to shart instead of fart?

So I just turned 30, 6 days ago and I've noticed a problem, when I fart, I shart slightly. Now it scares me to fart. Is this normal?

    At 40(or am i?) I've encountered this very same issue. In fact I'm sure folks think I penned this. I have noticed well intentioned attempted farts do become liquid sharts:/

          Nope, just being curious. I'm 43 and I love toilet humor! I wish there was more booger talk though. And of course I'm very fond of belching.

            I like toilet fart amplification. I used to sit on the can and fart just so my brother could hear it. We shared a small 1 BR apt. I would tell him "false alarm" knowing the reason I sat on the can. Good times

    not age related, or not normal for that age.

    if I were you, I wouldn't take any chances!

    Robbie or no? Fibre usually makes a person go but if you drink enough water you should be able to efficiently clean yourself without risks. Do you eat lots of oily foods? I could suggest cheese but I'm sure that you don't want to be constipated. Have you been feeling sick? It could be a stomach virus or food poisoning. Or, it could be the beginning of IBS. Perhaps, it would be best for you to ask a doctor?

      Maybe baked potatoes? Also there's always the BRATY diet: bananas, rice, applesauce, toast and yogurt.

        The BRATY diet is for cleaning out bowels? i say this because yogurt (skyr) and bananas used to clean me out! I can't see how a banana couldn't cause the magical relief of going to the toilet.

        Baked potatoes, sure. Especially, if they are white. Its odd because a Russet has quite a bit of fiber (most of it probably being in the skins) and it never makes me go. Then again, I don't eat the skins. Turnips are sometimes used as a potato alternative due to their starchiness. I just checked: one medium sized turnip has 2.2 grams of fibre. A large has 3.3 grams.

        Of course, different things work for different people. There have been some interesting things that have made myself completely lose thyself on the loo.

          I've had to use the BRATY diet when I've had chronic diarrhea.
