Is that what you think it is? Yes, fart walks are a trend that took over TikTok this year about a couple who goes out after dinner to walk and toot. They love to walk to enhance digestion and have the freedom to fart at will while walking outside. Read on fiber friends to learn more about farts, walking, and digestion.

What Causes Gas?
We have a deep dive blog post on gas here but the highlight is that flatulence occurs when undigested food in the colon produces gases.
Why Does Walking Make You Fart?
Even walking or moderate movement can help get things in the body moving. Exercise is a great way to kick on your digestive tract and post-meal walks are beneficial for digestion and reducing bloating.
Walking stimulates the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract (the scientific term is peristalsis), aiding digestion and helping to expel trapped gas.
