What Causes Excessive Farts?
Hi. My 2 year old daughter farts alot. She has been eating purity until recently when she became comfortable with rice. But the farting was there even before she started eating rice. They are also really smelly at times. What could be the cause and what should i do about it?. Should i be worried?

Hi...you need not be worried. Usually farting is due to the gases produced by the disintegrating of protein in food by helpful bacteria in the gut. It is quite normal. Do not worry.
