Gut germs: The action of intestinal bacteria who digest material you don't assimilate creates a variety of gasses.The amount and quality reflect what you eat and the types of germs in the gut.Probiotics, which are composed of living cultures of healthy germs can help alter the odor produced during this natural process.Avoiding foods like beans/cauliflower etc can also help.
