CHART YOUR FART

We all fart! Some more than others! Some louder than others? Some smellier than others! And some funnier than others!

Project launched 15th November 2024

In 2021, 60% of Australians reported to us that they experienced excessive flatulence. This got us thinking, what is a ‘normal’ amount of farts per day? Dietary change is frequently a catalyst for gut changes such as increased gas production as our gut adapts.

The Chart Your Fart app is designed to better understand the flatulence patterns and concerns of Australians as part of our public-led research in the area of health and wellbeing.

So essentially, we want to know about your farting habits. We are looking for Australians aged 14 years and over to provide 3 days of flatulence data (inclusive of 1 weekend day).

For more information check out the participant information sheet.

You can download the “Chart Your Fart” app from the App Store on your iPhone or Google Play for Android. Follow the instructions and get ready to chart your farts!
