Question 1

i can't hold in farts ?

Accepted Answer

When alone why try: the passing of flatus is natural and promotes colon health.  When in someones company it is simply a courtesy, in most places, not to do so.

Question 2

is it bad to hold in farts?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Not if you are in a crowded room.  Flatulence is a normal bodily function.  Trying to "hold in farts" is normal if you are in public places, etc. But eventually the gas will dissipate or make its way out.

Question 3

what causes frequent bad smelling farts?

Accepted Answer

Noxious flatus: Noxious flatus, otherwise known as smelly farts are a natural occurrence but can be worsened by eating certain foods such as kale, broccoli,  and other foods high in nitrogen.  I hope this helps.

Question 4

what can i do to stop leaving such stinky farts?

Accepted Answer

Check diet: Ask yourself are eating at least 25 to 30 grams of fiber a day? Are you eating too many gas producing products? Do you digest beans well? Check out the fodmap  diet.
And of course go to your doctor for full examination and testing.

Question 5

why do some peoples farts stink more than others?

Accepted Answer

Transit time: Foods they eat, frequency of meals and time the bacteria in the bowel has expose to food. Among other things.

Question 6

my farts are very smelly!  i mean exceptionally. any advise?

Accepted Answer

Avoid certain foods: Eating a healthy diet can cause gas due to excess fiber. Since humans don't digest the fiber, intestinal bacteria will eat it and make gas as a byproduct. "beano" enzyme may help. Another reason is lactose intolerance, in which one can't digest lactose (milk sugar). "lactaid" tablets help. A third reason is sugar alcohols, like maltitol, that can cause gas. The doctor can search for other causes.

Question 7

true or false when ur farts stinks dose that mean ur healthy? seriously

Accepted Answer

Stinky farts...: Having flatulence (gas) that smells foul is generally a sign that the body is digesting foods appropriately.  Gas forms as a by product of the breakdown of nutrients (such as carbohydrates) by way of bacteria in our intestines.  They are essential to our survival!  all the best!

Question 8

why do some farts feel physically hot when i havent eaten anything spicy or in that matter? should i be worried if continues? what can i do to stop it

Accepted Answer

ToSmellOrNotToSmell: Light it with a match...NO!!..Just kidding (kind of).The gas formed in your colon is the product of fermentation which produces some heat,in addition to your own body heat.And the skin at your exit port is very sensitive and it can feel warm or even hot.I think at this point I'd worry more about how they sound and/or smell. Problem with that? Buy a Chihuahua and take it everywhere with you.

Question 9

why do i fart so much?

Accepted Answer

Gas: Diet is important. You may be lactose intolerant. Dairy products can be eliminated to see if that resolves it. There may be other food groups or particular substances like gluten causing it. Some people swallow air from anxiety(aerophagia) causing gas. See your md for an evaluation.

Question 10

does fart always have an odour?

Accepted Answer

Passing gas: An odor is not always associated with passing gas. There are many variables like type of food eaten, the intestinal bacteria, putrifaction in the gut. Most times there is a smell associated.
