Question

The infant frequently farts but does not have stomach pain, and bowel movements are normal. What could be the reason?

Answer

The doctor indicates that there are many reasons for frequent farting, and it must be examined to determine the cause. Possible causes include dyspepsia. It is advised to avoid eating indigestible foods and legumes, eat less starchy foods such as potatoes, taros, and noodles, and avoid soda crackers.
