I ate some protein soya chunks last night for dinner. It was my first time cooking them. It's a meat substitute. Damn... It had me sky riding.

Coli fam, what does your intestinal tract in?

Why do farts smell so bad after eating spicy foods?


The main constituents of intestinal gases include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane, oxygen and hydrogen. Under normal circumstances, these gases are odorless. The odor in smelly farts can be attributed to the presence of other gases such as sulfates. Basically, there're two main things that may cause smelly farts:

  • When the gases remain in the digestive system for an extended period, the bacteria within the intestines begin to add sulfates to the gases. This adds a foul smell to an otherwise odorless gas.

  • Taking foods that contain high amounts of sulfur such as eggs, cauliflower and the entire cabbage family, onions, meat, garlic and cheese may cause you to give out smelly farts. Additionally, sugars, including stachiose, verbascose and raffinose are rapidly acted upon by bacteria in the digestive system to give out gases.
