Is it normal to pass gas at least 50-100 times per day?

I've always been gassy but in the last 3 months I've passed gas at least 50 times a day, and in some cases much more. When I'm alone it's not bad, but at my job, and when hanging out with others it can be really embarrassing. I try to do my best to discretely do it, but some days it really stinks. There is nothing new in my diet and I'm not on any new medications or anything like that. Maybe this is part of getting older? Is it normal to fart 50-100 times a day?

    I don't live on a boat? I don't see what that would have to do with gas?

      Then you would only fart 42 times per day, and so would your imaginary wife.

    Be proud brother, the fart revolution is at hand. We have people in government ready to over throw the anti farters. Soon we will enact our fart quotas and those who cannot keep up will work in the pork and beans mines. Jobs will be created as we will use farts to power industry. Entertainment will be revolutionized. Artist like Steamy Nicks, and Steamy Ray von will be able to take center stage and shit their britches

    You'll probably think i'm being sarcastic, but I picked my screen name for a reason.
    I fart while I'm farting. Before I'm done farting another bigger longer fart is on its way out. I fart stains into seats thanks to the hot moisture making the colors run.
    As I type this I've farted 7 times.... during registration I farted 3 times.

    I'm a bigger guy and my diet consists of Ginger Ale and mostly chicken bread and cheese.

    I haven't counted but I think I fart at least 150 times a day. MINIMUM.
    I fart myself to sleep, I fart in my sleep so loud and often that my roommate thinks I'm snoring. I use a CPAP so I don't snore, ever. And I fart myself awake. Then fart throughout the morning afternoon and evening.

    I have solid bowel movements too! Every single time I BM I plug the toilet.. I'm not on pain meds or anything, just some blood pressure meds and nexium. Diarrhea isn't common. Oh and I did have my gallbladder removed this year, but I fart as much if not more now. But when I was healing from surgery I could barely push out a fart but now that I'm 100% I fart like a pack mule.
    I actually started farting in public when people aren't near me, they just keep going and going and going. If I lift squat jump or push anything I fart. I fart when I sit and fart when I stand. My day consists entirely of farting.
    If I had a spouse I wouldn't be in the same bed as her I know that much. I've farted 5 more times since I said it last.

    Anyways, IBS or no, I am a farter. Hand to god I fart 150 times or more a day. Give or take.

    Good luck and live well!

    Do you have to throw out your underwear every month or so? I lived in Chicago during the summer of 2007 and was eating deep dish pepperoni and sausage pizza quite a bit at the time. That summer I actually gained about 20 lbs from all of the pizza I ate, which sickens my stomach just thinking about it.

    The pizza gave me awful gas and I would rip pepperoni farts quite a bit. I found that my underwear got brown stains from all of the wet farts after a couple weeks of wear and the stains accumulated over time to the point at which I had to throw out my underwear about every six weeks or so that summer.

      I actually do go through quite a few pairs. I just get new ones every few months at Walmart. Because I haven't changed my diet I'm not losing or gaining weight. I just have lots of gas.

    Don't know if you want a serious answer, but if you do then here it is. This could be a very minor issue like irritable bowel syndrome which is common. It could also indicate that you have something else going on which needs treatment. Since the problem has persisted for 3 months I think you should see your doctor and see if he or she wants to order some tests. Having said that, if you have no other symptoms then it is unlikely that you have much to worry about.

      Thanks for the reply. I did some webmd research but have no diarrhea or anything else associated with IBS. I'm thankful for that. I wish I had health insurance. If it keeps up much longer I'll have to see a doctor.

    I haven't farted in about 6 months. I've been kind of dizzy lately. I wonder if it's all going to my head.

    I was going to say cut out different foods to see what the cause is, but perhaps you should see a doctor. They can give better help than someone on this site can.

      Agreed, a fartologist would almost certainly be able to give an informed diagnosis.

    It's something you're eating. What have you added, or even changed brands? Dairy? Cauliflower smoothies?

      Lol. No, as I said I've changed nothing in my diet at all. I wish I had as this would be much easier to stop.

    Do you have your own office or do you work in a cubicle near others? If you have an office, I recommend hanging several pine tree air fresheners throughout your office to help mask the smell - arab cab drivers are notorious for using those to mask their b.o. and bad breath.

    Also, if you are on an elevator, really focus on holding in your farts until you get off the elevator. A couple years ago I had eaten pizza for lunch and ripped a long pepperoni fart when I was on the elevator alone and it reeked - the entire elevator stunk like my ass! Unfortunately, the elevator opened before my stop and a hot secretary got on and I saw her make a face and put her fingers over her nose. I did all I could do to keep a straight face until I exited the elevator a couple floors later!
