ELI5 Why do we humans get gassier as we age?

Yeah...not sure that's a fact.  If anything older people may lose muscle tonus in the sphincter and be less able to control when they let one out.  Plus, as others have said, they just don't care.  So they may release more often, but in still approximately the same volume.

If you eat fiber, you'll fart, period.  If you suddenly eat a lot more fiber than usual, you'll fart more than usual, then go back to average.  Pregnancy can put pressure on the lower intestinal tract, and cause them to slip out more often, but the volume of gas is roughly the same even then.

Fart.
