Farting Up to Twenty Three Times a Day is it Normal?

Doctor Isaac David Ampil II said in the latest episode of Pinoy MD that it is normal to fart many times a day.

Doctor Isaac stated that farting is part of the normal process of digestion. He also added in his statement that farting is the human body’s way of releasing excessive air discharged during the process of digesting food.





The doctor also referenced a study regarding the indication of the normality of farting seventeen to twenty-three times a day. According to the study that the doctor mentioned, it is okay to fart at least once every hour of the day. The doctor even joked in the Pinoy MD episode about people not really counting how many times they fart a day.

Doctor Ampil re-affirms that farting is a healthy sign of a digestive tract but too much of anything is bad for everyone. If the number of farts a person has for a day exceeds the normal range, then it might be that that person has a problem with his digestive system.




Aside from the possibility of having a digestion-related health condition, excessive farting could also be a sign of the body’s too much intake of complex carbohydrates like potatoes and sweet potatoes. Complex carbohydrates when digested, releases a lot of gas, so the body farts more than usual if there is a high consumption of these complex carbohydrates.

It is advised by Doctor Isaac to visit a gastroenterologist if you feel that you are farting more than the normal number per day.
