Passing gas through the anus (Farting) is normal. When it occurs excessively (more than 20-25 times a day), is accompanied by other symptoms like abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, blood in stool, or significant weight loss, or if it significantly interferes with your daily life and activities, it is a good idea to talk to see a doctor for a proper check-up. It may be nothing, you may need a change of diet, or it could be a different problem. Your doctor will confirm.
