How to stop stinky and smelly farts

Stinky and smelly farts or flatulence can have a negative impact on you and other around this does have to be so, you may want to stop farting altogether but this cannot happen so this post will look at the causes and different ways to fix, reduce or stop the smelly ones.

The reasons we have flatulence?

• Flatulence can be referred to as belching and farting, we all create gas in our gut and they come from a number of reasons some come into our mouth when we eat or drink for the person who likes chewing gum they would have excess gas entering their stomach through their mouth these are usually not smelly.
• The food we eat especially alkaline ones when mixing with acid in the stomach produces carbon dioxide further down in the large intestine.
• As the food down our canals travel millions of bacteria act on undigested foods residue often producing gas which they excrete.
• Various vegetable, beans, lactose, and beverages create extra gas because they contain certain sugars which our digestive system can’t properly digest so it goes into the large bowel unchanged and the bacteria there ferment them and produce gas.
•  Fiber is a carbohydrate that is great for our body but our body cannot digest it so travel through our Gi tract to our large intestine where it is broken down by bacteria that produce gas.

What causes smelly farts?

Non-smelly gas is usually the very loud farts they have about 59% nitrogen 29 % hydrogen 9 % carbon dioxide 7 % methane and 3 % oxygen they usually come from our mouth when we eat fast or chew. The bubbles of nitrogen and carbon dioxide are usually large so when we force them out of our butt the fart makes a loud sound but it is odorless.
Silent farts are usually smelly farts they are made from the bacteria feeding on food in our intestine they produce small bubbles of gas, so they exit our butt quietly. They are made up of the gas Indole, Skatole, Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) ( is the source of sulfur in the intestine) and  Mercaptans. Sometimes we do pass loud and smelly farts when the big gas bubbles mix with the small bubbles.

• If you eat a lot of fat it goes through your canal largely unchanged when it reaches the large intestine the bacteria there change them into volatile fatty acids they can smell really bad.
• There are some disorders such as lactose intolerant the inability of your body to digest the milk sugar lactose which will go through the gut and also create foul gases.
• Foods that give stinky farts are rich in sulfur this is because bacteria break them down and produce hydrogen sulfide which has a rotten smell.

Eggs, meats, cauliflower, sweet yam, beans, Brussel sprouts, cabbage, kale, mustard green, collards, onions garlic and horseradish.
Food which uses sulfides as preservatives can also cause bad smelling gas beverages such as wines, coffee, tea, cocoa.
Fruits such as watermelon, pineapple, and bananas.
Dairy products cheese, sour cream, milk and medicines with milk.
Nuts such as walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and cashews nuts.
