Having flatulence 10-20 times per day can be considered normal for many people, as the average person passes gas between 14 to 23 times daily. This is a natural bodily function and occurs as a result of swallowed air and the breakdown of food in the digestive tract. However, the frequency and odor of flatulence can vary depending on diet, gut health, and individual digestive processes.

Excessive or painful gas, or if it’s accompanied by other symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, could indicate a digestive issue such as food intolerance, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or other gastrointestinal conditions. If concerned, consulting a healthcare provider can help assess if it’s normal for you.
