Question

Is that too much??? What's wrong with me???

Answer 1

You are not in any danger unless you live or work in an environment with ample naked flames.

Jokes aside..

The average is supposed to 14 (but I have no idea who actually counted it or how many people participated in it or where that study was done).

Here is an articel that might help:

Flatulence (Gas) Treatment

Experience has shown that the most common ways to reduce the discomfort of gas are changing diet, taking medicines, and reducing the amount of air swallowed.

Self-Care at Home
Flatulence is most often related to diet, and sometimes to those habits that cause you to swallow air. You can begin by trying to remove the problem foods from your diet. For many people, this is a trial-and-error procedure.

This may take some careful observation to notice what foods cause increased gas. Keep a food diary and note excess passage of gas. Any of the gas-producing foods can be removed from your diet one group at a time until you see relief.

Examples are:

Beans
Vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, onions
Fruits such as pears, apples, peaches
Whole grains such as bran
Soft drinks and fruit drinks
Milk and milk products
Packaged foods with lactose such as cereal and bread
Dietetic foods,sugar-free candies, and gum containing sorbitol
If this method does not work, a more restrictive approach is to start with a very limited number of safe foods, and add one new food every 48 hours in order to determine what food or food group causes difficulty. If the offending food is found, then you can avoid eating that food or be prepared for its consequences.
If you suspect lactose intolerance is the problem, remove all dairy foods from your diet for 10-14 days to assess the effect on flatulence (using a diary). The enzyme lactase, which aids with lactose digestion, is available in liquid and tablet form without a prescription (Lactaid, Lactrase, and Dairy Ease are familiar brand names). Adding a few drops of liquid lactase to milk before drinking it or chewing lactase tablets just before eating helps digest foods that contain lactose. Also, lactose-reduced milk and other products are available at many grocery stores (Lactaid and Dairy Ease).
If odor is a concern, there is some reported success with charcoal filter undergarments.
If belching is a problem, you should avoid the behaviors that cause you to swallow air, such as chewing gum or eating hard candy. Eat slowly. Make sure your dentures fit properly if you wear them.
In general, avoid overeating because this contributes to flatulence as well as obesity. Limit high-fat foods to reduce bloating and discomfort. Your stomach will empty faster, allowing gases to move into the small intestine.
Medical Treatment
The goal of treatment of flatulence is to reduce gas and odor. Medical intervention includes treatment with antibiotics if bacterial overgrowth of the gastrointestinal tract is suspected or evidence of parasitic infection is seen.

Some promising studies have investigated feeding nonoffensive strains of bacteria to push out the bacteria that are offensive, although no established treatments are available at this time.
Regulation of bowel function is essential. Constipation should be treated with increased dietary fiber or certain laxatives.
In cases where anxiety causes you to swallow air, your doctor may suggest you seek mental health counseling to change habit patterns.

Answer 2

You'd be in danger if you DIDN'T pass gas. You'd face the danger of exploding!!! Haha...actually you wouldn't not explode, but you could cause abdominal distention and it would be very painful.

Eat less gaseous food. Take Beano. Relax. Everyone does it!

Answer 3

I`m an exceedingly windy female!! I`d say 30 ish cases an afternoon, and that i carry them for the 8 hours i`m at artwork so i`m a parping device in the night! anybody who says they dont lies! even the queen in specific cases coughs and a splash one slips out!

Answer 4

Yes.








Grave danger.

Answer 5

Yes, if you do so in a crowd or near an open flame.

Ask your doctor, not us

Aside from being puerile and inane, I have no idea what's wrong with you.

Answer 6

Maybe you have a flatulence problem....

Maybe you're eating too much fiber in the day.... or

Maybe you just like seeing the disgusted looks on people's faces when you fart in their faces.... mmm hmm..... sicko...

Answer 7

I don't think there is anything "wrong" with you. Maybe you could look into purchasing some beano. I hear that helps. (not that I've, um, had to get some before or anything. Uh, yeah)

Answer 8

You are not in danger, but anyone within ten feet of you is.

Answer 9

You are in danger of social isolation.

Answer 10

NOpe, that's normal. Try laying off the sodas and you'll notice less gas.
