The most common reason why you farted water is a result of a shart, which is flatulence with a watery consistency.

Farting water or sharts can occur due to diarrhea from a digestive issue, medication, infections or even food intolerance's, like a lactose intolerance or gluten intolerance.

Some certain medications can cause watery farts and even swallowing too much air can result in watery farts.

A sudden onset of watery poop can come out along with the gas or fart, which is a phenomenon also called a shart.

The shart can be caused by viral infections or even bacterial infections and even digestive issues.

If you're intolerant to certain foods, your body might also have trouble with digesting the foods, which can lead to digestive issues, gas and watery poop.

Examples of these food intolerance's include lactose intolerance, gluten intolerance and even celiac disease.

Lactose intolerance is when you have difficulty in digesting the sugar in dairy products.

Gluten intolerance and celiac disease is when you have difficulty digesting gluten that is found in wheat and other grains.

Many types of medications can also cause watery farts as a side effect, including statins, fiber supplements, laxatives and antacids.

Habits like talking while eating, eating too quickly, chewing gum or even wearing loose dentures can cause you to swallow extra air, which can then be expelled as gas.

And even chronic conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS can cause a variety of other symptoms as well as watery farts.

If the watery farts happen frequently or you experience any abdominal pain, blood in your poop or persistent nausea you should see a doctor.

But if the watery farts happen just occasionally then it's usually nothing to worry about.
