I really cant help it. Is there something wrong with me or is it healthy to fart? I dont suffer from constipation and eat a healthy diet. Do you think I may be allergic to something. All my family are farters too - perhaps it's genetic?

It could be genetic, you may be more sensitive to food than others. I would ask my doctor about food allergies. Try beano or something.

I really believe in the diet being a major contributing factor in gas - my husband and his family is the most farting family I've ever come accross... sometimes I wonder what I was getting myself into! :) But since he and I live together and we are eating different things than his family... he isn't farting as often... and it isn't that he's NOT doing it for my benefit... because if he knew how much it irritated me he'd probably do it more (sometimes it's wisest to not say anything...hehe) - we've discussed this and haven't come up with any exact foods that his family eats more of than we do... so sorry I can't help you out more... but good luck! Try looking up foods that commonly give you gas - sometimes it's the more natural/healthy diet that does it to you!!

It's your healthy diet. All that fibre causes you to fart. It won't do you any harm, well, maybe your social status. Some people can hold it in! This is not unhealthy either, but not particularly comfortable. I let it go with wild abandon, in large groups, that way it doesn't make any noise and no one will have the nerve to challenge anyone. If you try to hold it and fail, that's where the noise comes from.

I'm guessing it's precisely because you eat a healthy diet. Foods that are high in fiber (whole grains, fresh fruits and veggies) give people gas -- not exactly sure why. If it bothers you, try using a food enzyme like Beano or look for over-the-counter antacids and anti-gas remedies with simethicone as the active ingredient.

most people actually release gas through the skin, There are obviously larger amounts needed to be realeased, for example after eating bean & lentils, which can cause us to fart. If you find that there is not a break and it is continuous then I would change the type of soap that you are using as it may be blocking the pores that theses gases can escape

if people didnt fart we'd be as big as houses. there are foods that make you more gassy than others, even healthy ones. and it could be genetics too. look up flatulence on the web and talk to ur gyno. milk products make u fart bigtime. dairy products arent really that good for you, its the calcium. so, cut down on the dairy, not the calcium

Sounds perfectly acceptable to me, as long as I aint behind you.
It will be a mix of the food you eat and the rate at which you assimilate it.
Some people 'fart' when they are nervous, so clearly it is a combination of things.
Certainly nowt to worry about anyway..

The fact that you eat healthily is the reason that you suffer from flatulence. Whole foods, fruit and veg all play their part.
If you ate white bread and lots of pastry etc you would get constipated and not suffer with flatulence.

healtheir foods(particularly vegetables and beans)tend to produce more gas than most processed foods, as there is a high fiber content in these foods, as opposed to refined sugars and fats(which are easily stored).
You may want to try bean-o, as it works for more then just beans. It works because our digestive systems lack a certain chemical needed to break down a certain type of acid found in beans, but a similar acid can be found in broccoli and cauliflower.
