Understanding Flatulence
Passing gas is completely normal — the average person farts 5-15 times per day. Gas is produced when bacteria in your gut break down food, especially carbohydrates.
Common Causes of Smelly Farts
- Sulfur-rich foods — Eggs, meat, broccoli, cabbage
- Gut bacteria imbalance — Certain bacteria produce more odor
- Food intolerances — Lactose and gluten can cause issues
- Swallowed air — Eating fast, chewing gum, carbonated drinks
When to See a Doctor
While farting is normal, excessive gas accompanied by pain, bloating, diarrhea, or blood in stool may indicate a digestive condition that needs medical attention.
