Seriously, WHY DO WE FART?

I noticed that some people fart every two minutes, and some maybe once or twice a day. Often times they say it's because of our diet. There are those who say that it is because of the manner we ear our food - since we tend to swallow air if we're eating in a hurry. Why?

I guess farting is part of releasing the wastes from our body. Since a fart has carbon, thus, we are releasing some needed wastes to be released.

I agree but why do people find farting funny, if it's a part of our body's cleansing? It's pretty weird, right? I guess if people do not fart anymore, then the matter becomes serious.

i am allergic to dairy, almonds and pineapple and caffine, if i eat these stuff then i have a lot of bloating and gurgling in my stomach, alongside lots of other symptoms. it also makes me fart a lot lol

Being bloated = being a fart machine. Maybe because there are many "air" on our stomach?

i think there are so many reasons that people fart godiane. we ingest air and it has to go out. even the food that we eat has air... anyway, i fart occasionally, but when it becomes more frequent, it means that i did not undergo my daily habit of releasing my bowels of the previous day's contents. and that would smell really bad. otherwise, my fart is not smelly. as for my mother in law, she farts all the time. the wind she releases is not smelly at all. but i wonder why she farts very often. she doesn't know either and feels really embarassed when in public. and we eat the same food. hihihi it is a natural process and should just be shrugged if we are caught in an ugly situation. haha take care and God bless you! have a happy weekend!

Hi spoiled311! I believe so too! If we stop farting then there's a serious problem now. Happy weekend too!
