Is it healthy if your fart smelly?

Smelly gas is not uncommon and is often considered normal. Some foods or medications can cause excessively smelly farts. There are, however, some instances where smelly farts can be an indicator of an underlying infection, digestive issues, or a disorder.

What does it mean when your fart stinks a lot?

Typical conditions that can cause smelly flatulence include lactose and gluten intolerances. In both of these conditions, the body’s inability to break down lactose or gluten causes smelly gas to build up and eventually be released. Other people may have food intolerance due to a disease such as celiac disease.
