How many times in a day does the average person fart?

If you really want to get into it, provide statistics for different demographics.

This question came up because I have a different sleep schedule than my roommates. When they fall asleep in the living room where I play video games they fart all through their sleep.

Most people pretend they fart less than they really do. So what is the average and what is the healthy median? The median that you can compare to and judge your physical health based on how often you should be disposing of gasses.

I should probably offer tips. There is so much more. Like, why do we need to expel gasses? And many other questions. Maybe I will save them for later.

I don't know why it would be outdated, but according to an old episode of Beakman's World, an educational TV show from the early 90s, the answer is 14.

I found another source that backs that number up online, so it looks like my memory is good.

"On average, a person produces about half a liter of fart gas per day, distributed over an average of about fourteen daily farts." -- http://www.heptune.com/farts.html

I'm not shy about my farting habits because frankly, I fart all day long no matter what I want(GI/digestive problems).. I'll give you two of your answers here.

Why do we expel gases? Farting is actually caused by an enzyme breakdown in your intestines. When you eat certain foods(and yes, beans are one of them), enzymes in the food enter the intestine where they interact with bacteria that lives there. This causes a reaction in the enzymes which creates methane. The methane gas then has to find a way out and your rear end is the closest..

How many times a day do we fart? I think most of us fart way more than we'd ever admit. I probably fart at least twice an hour, sometimes more and sometimes less.

I forgot my source. I saw this on a DHC(Discovery Health Channel) special. And I forgot to mention that they tested the women against the men on that show. A man farted 32 times in one day and the woman farted 28 times. They both ate beans, but thats a fairly high number for both.

I remember reading something about flatus quantity being related to the amount of soluble fibre and alpha-galactosides present in your food. Beans happen to contain a lot - surprise, surprise - and (I read this bit in a physiology text book (Guyton) so it must be true!) beans increase the volume of flatus by as much as 10 times compared to an equivalent amount of non-bean food.
