Is it normal to get gas this badly?

I plan my veg-heavy meals on the basis of when I'm least likely to come into contact with people I know because they make me fart so much.

I get this with kale and onions in stews and soups. The farts are frequent (once every 5 minutes or so) and a lot of gas is passed per toot. This lasts up to 3 hours after eating.

Can this possibly be normal? I once heard a medical source say that doctors don't tend to worry if you're farting too much because it's a sign of a GI tract that's working and that 'too much' is relative anyway, BUT...

From a human perspective, how can I be expected to eat healthily and have a social life at the same time if I'm emitting this much gas, this frequently, and it smells so bad? Is this normal??

    There's a product called Beano that can help with your problem.

    A good probiotic should help. Its a question of having a sutiable population of the right "bugs" in your GI tract to handle the food you are eating. Now things will naturally adjust over a week or two if you constantly eat certain foods during that period. A probiotic with multiple strains of bacteria usually cuts that down by half.

    Until then... Have a tooting good time.

    Change up your diet, keep eating healthy foods (theres plenty trust me) but sounds like the particular diet you're shooting for just doesn't agree with your composition.

    That being said I used to get crazy bad gas from eating too much humous I dialed it back a tinyyyy bit and now it's no problem at all so just keep altering up your diet see what suits you

    • I did have a very big portion, and cooking the raffinose and fructose out into the broth, then consuming the broth, probably didn't help, either.

    • One or two of them 🙄. It really offends my veg-heavy meals.
