Fart is an English word which, when used literally, refers to the bodily function of flatulence. Flatulence is the presence of gas under some degree of pressure, in a confined space. The term is normally used of the presence of gas in the digestive tract of mammals.
Gas production is an essential, normal function of the gastrointesinal tract, and most healthy individuals pass up to 1,200 cc (over 40 oz) of gas each day. However, when gas causes excessive pain and cramping (colic) then evaluation and treatment are appropriate.Constipation is one of the major reason for this problem. There is nothing wrong in farting execepting that it puts you in an akward situation for the sound and bad smell, some times. It is not an indication of any abd intestinal system.
Treatment for gas: An herbalist or naturopathic healthcare professional may recommend a preparation of a carminative (gas reducing) herb such as valerian (Valeriana officinalis), or peppermint (Mentha piperita), which may be helpful in eliminating discomfort and gas-related bloating.
Homeopathic remedies for excessive intestinal gas include Carbo vegetabilis, Nux vomica, and Chamomilla. The prescription of a specific homeopathic remedy will depend on an individual's overall symptom picture, mood, and temperament, and should only be prescribed by a qualified homeopathic physician.
Hydrotherapy, acupressure, acupuncture, yoga, reflexology, and mild exercise can also help to relieve the pain and discomfort of excessive gas.

it's good because it lets us know the bowel is working. If you can't and/or have great difficulty with bowel movements, you need to see a doctor, as not farting or not having a bowel movement could indicate the bowel is not working, which could be extremely dangerous.

Beans would work; things with fiber in general. I tend to fart pretty often and I have a pretty high-fiber diet.
