How to Stop Flatulence Smell
Flatulence, or farting, is a byproduct of the body's inability to absorb all fibers and carbohydrates. The smell associated with flatulence is typically a sulfur compound as well as bacteria in meat and eggs. Changing diet can curb flatulence at the source, while smelly emissions after the fact can be curtailed with simple home remedies.
