Yes — passing gas 10–20 times daily is normal and reflects a fermenting microbiome. Sudden change in pattern, foul-smelling stools with weight loss, or gas with pain and bleeding is what warrants attention.
High-fibre Indian diets with dal, rajma, chana and cabbage naturally produce more gas. Soaking legumes well and discarding soaking water reduces it somewhat.
Worth investigating if accompanied by diarrhoea, weight loss, blood, or if it started suddenly rather than being lifelong.
