Why am I so gassy? | Asking for a Friend

Tooting, farting, bum sneezing. We all do it. But do you ever wonder how much is gas normal (and which side of “normal” you’re on), what causes it, or why we have to live with it at all? Check out the first installment of Asking for a Friend, where general internal medicine specialist Dr. Seema Marwaha answers the health questions you’d rather not have to ask.

I am waking up with gas. I am fed up. I am in menopause and cannot sleep.

I am a gas producing machine. My room smells so bad I keep farting.

[rodrigo]

More than 10 times a day is a problem?
Man I’ve got 9 problems and passing gas ain’t 91

I have a friend who's 20 and she's extremely gassy. She's also not afraid to talk about it. We talk about belching and farts and she told me she's been really gassy and has been crop dusting people a lot. I told her it's not a problem because the smell will go away. What started the conversation was that what was her opinion if someone farted and she walked into the stench and she wouldn't want to smell it if it stunk really bad

I know some one farted so loud their dog run out the room😄

[gracekibii]

[theresabeville]

You are nervous and swallowing to much air.

[rosemarychurchill]

Just laugh and farting reading all these comments here in 2024 😂

[horuslupercalaurelian]

I used to feel like girls never farted, atleast girls with pretty faces and voluptuous bodies, for some reason, until one of my girlfriends in high school let loose when I was wrestling her on the floor in the cafeteria, she laughed because many heard it and she had no control with my tiger claw clenching on her ribs, it was pretty cute to be honest, I didn't think it was that gross

My grandad used to say.
Tromba dal culo sanità di corpo

[muhammadalieesaa]

I have a question for you doctor. Being that you are a woman does that mean your farts smell like roses? 😂😂😂
