The average person farts between 5 and 15 times a day. This is a normal part of digestion, and indicates a healthy functioning gut.
It’s fine. Let them out. Better out than in.
In a 1991 paper, ‘Investigation of normal flatus production in healthy volunteers’ by Tomlin, researchers (from Royal Hallamshire Hospital in Sheffield), determined that the volume of the average fart – regardless of gender, body size, or time of day – was 33-125 ml, with a median of 90 ml.
Total daily volume ranged from 476 to 1491 ml (median 705 ml). Women and men expelled equivalent amounts, discounting the popular idea (i.e. myth) that women fart more than men.
