You can recognize complex carbs because they’re whole foods, such as carrots, potatoes, beans, and corn. Since many of these foods are high in fiber, they’ll still produce gas, but less than with simple carbs. Fewer carbohydrates often means fewer breads and sweets, which is a healthy part of any diet plan.
When bacteria in your colon breaks down hydrogen sulfides as your food is digested, your body produces gas that smells like sulfur. This means stinky farts! Foods that typically create a sulfur smell include eggs, meat, fish, beer, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage.
