I was wondering whether anyone else has become worried about how often they pass wind?
I'm in a very anxious state about a lot of things lately, I noticed I was farting a lot (I can't remember whether or not it used to be like this)
I was drinking Yakult (sugar free) and thought that may have been the cause but I stopped a few weeks ago and it didn't stop..
I don't fart as much when I don't think about it, but last week and this week on some days I have been counting, and yesterday it almost got to 30 farts..
not all of them make noise and some of them are very tiny and don't smell bad..
I looked online and convinced myself of a bunch of scary things that this could be a symptom of.. and doctors are useless as they just dismiss me as it 'oh it must be IBS'
has anyone else experienced this? it happened with me when I was excessively urinating as well..
It's nerves.
I fart all the time when I am nervous or anxious.
It's not harmful. IBS sufferer here and it is the most common cause.
You are fine xx
If its just farts, and its not accompanied by diarrhoea or stomach cramps, then I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. Apparently anything up to 40 farts a day is considered normal, so 30 doesn't sounds too bad really.
Excess gas can be caused by a lot of things - if you get them a lot whilst anxious I wouldn't worry about any food intolerances or anything. Also, sometimes these things come and go - a year or two ago I had pretty bad wind that lasted for about a year (though I also had stomach cramps) but then everything cleared up (in more ways than one lol) and I was fine.
Things will pass, but until then, make sure you keep away from open fires for the safety of you and everyone else :P
Things will pass..... :P
Literally! ;) With all due respect, I know you're a bit stressed by this but it's the thread of the week by far! There have been pee threads and poo threads but a fart thread? Awesome!
We typically release up to 1.5 liters of gas a day. On average 15-30 poots. I've been known to blow that average out of the water much to the dismay of those around me :D During my treatment?... dang! Between all the chemicals going into me, the drugs, pain killers, laxatives, etc. I could have powered my truck for the ride back and forth to treatments ~lol~
It's totally normal and indicative of... well... being gassy ;) Pretty cool you kept count and a general description of the variety.
Let's face it... farts are funny! ;) I have a fart toy called the "Pooter". You hold in in your hand and squeeze. It sounds so real. Loads of fun in a public place. Check out some of the vids here (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL798B2D8ADA64C05A).
Positive thoughts and giggles :)

Thank you for this reply, what so 40 a day is really considered normal? That sounds like so many, problem for me is I worry because it doesn't seem to be relived by a BM :/ and because I'm constantly thinking about it It won't stop, like last week it went away when my mind was focused on my other worries :/
It varies but not unusual to play "Bach's Air on a G String" on a particularly gassy day :scared15:
