If it's been a while since you've gone number two, all that poop is just hanging out in your colon, which can result in some nasty side effects. “There's more time for bacteria to begin to metabolize these compounds, making for a more malodorous smell to gas that's produced,” says Bridgers.

The only way you'd burn a few calories when farting is if you strained to do so — and that's not healthy or normal. If you strain when you fart, the calorie burn is negligible, maybe one or two calories. It's not enough to make any difference in your health. You certainly should not rely on farting to lose weight.

Regularly farting is normal, even healthy. Farting a lot isn't necessarily bad, but it could be a sign of a digestive issue or improper diet. One of the easiest adjustments for gas issues is making sure you're getting a good balance of protein and plants, like fruits, vegetables, and grains, in your daily diet.

Some air is caused by gas seeping into our intestines from our blood, and some gas is produced by chemical reactions in our intestines or bacteria living in our guts. ... Only about one percent of a fart contains hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans, which contain sulfur, and the sulfur is what makes farts stink.

Tiny amounts of hydrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane combine with hydrogen sulfide (say: SUHL-fyde) and ammonia (say: uh-MOW-nyuh) in the large intestine to give gas its smell. Phew!

When you have a bad smell in your nose for more than 1 week and there's no external source, you should see your doctor. Because a rotten smell in your nose often means you're also dealing with a sinus infection, nasal polyps, or other condition, it's likely you also have other symptoms.

Rotten Eggs The two most common sources of a rotten egg smell are a natural gas leak, and escaping sewer gas. In its natural state, natural gas is actually odorless. That's why utility companies inject a substance called mercaptan, which emits an odor that smells like sulfur or rotten eggs.

Beans make us fart because they contain sugars and fibre that our bodies have a hard time digesting. When these sugars meet up with the bacteria in our large intestines, it produces gas and so we fart.

Although very good for people's overall health and well-being, these slow-digesting foods break down or ferment in the digestive tract. The fermentation process produces odorous gas. In some cases, foods higher in fiber have a distinctive odor. The natural odor from these foods can also cause flatulence to be smelly.

The first thing to do is make sure the smell is sewer gas—usually a rotten egg smell—and not a natural gas smell, which usually smells like a skunk. If you think it's a natural gas smell (skunk!), call you're natural gas company immediately.

I never saw them as resembling “farts” but they can be quite unusual. If you have fluctuations in stomach size, the shrinking that comes with reducing intake or fasting can generate an array of internal gas sounds.
