how can i stop my flatulence from smelling so bad?



Flatulence is a common health problem experienced by almost everyone. This is mainly caused because of undigested food in the intestine. When your diet contains more of indigestible carbohydrates and fibers such as meats, eggs and beans, your body refuses to absorb those ingredients. Smelly flatulence can also be caused by spicy foods. These undigested foods enter the large intestine and interacts with various bowel bacteria. This reaction further causes formation of variety of gases that are expelled from the body through the rectum. The bad smell associated with flatulence is mainly because of hydrogen sulphide caused by excessive intake of sulfur or refined carbohydrates.
