Why Your Fart Stinks so Bad and How to Get Rid of It
Be honest, it’s not farting that worries you, but when it really stinks . Avoiding fiber may make you fart less, but it won’t get rid of the rotten egg smell we all fear. Instead, take a close look at the sources of your cysteine protein.
Cysteine is an amino acid (one of the building blocks of protein) that contains sulfur. Microbes in your gut can convert it into hydrogen sulfide , a gas that smells like rotten eggs. New research, presented at the Australian Gastroenterology Conference but not yet published or peer-reviewed, found that cysteine-rich foods were the worst culprits when it comes to room odor.
A lead researcher told New Scientist that fiber makes you fart more, but that’s not a reason to avoid it:
“When we were digging, people were not worried about fart, but the smell,” she says. “But the worry is that all these people walk around with constipation because they are too scared to eat fiber in case they fart badly.”
In fact, if you are looking for sources of protein that are low in cysteine, beans are one of your best options. Fart fear is not a reason to avoid fiber .
