TMI farts question
Hi everyone,
So the last two days my farts started smelling SO BAD. I mean it smells like shit and sulfur and what not. I know people have smelly farts BUT..
This only started 2 days ago after I ate a homemade bread with eggs and cheese at an event. I usually don't trust people enough to eat food other than my home. But I had to because they would be offended. And everyone else ate the same. But I cant go back or call people to ask if they have the same symptoms after eating the bread.
My whole life my farts never ever smelled and I mean NEVER. Maybe when I eat something like beans. But other than that it's just air.
I started taking probiotics also.
Anyone have advice? I'm so embarrassed. I don't have any other symptoms just the farts

The digestive system slows down deliberately when your pregnant. The transit time for food to travel through the large and small intestines slows to allow sufficient time for your baby to absorb all the nutrients that it can. This typically means food stays there longer and ferments and breaks down a bit more than usual… it causes more sulphur. This then makes you smell more / have more gas. If you therefore eat more foods that are ordinarily going to cause you to smell more… (eggs, beans etc) this can make you smell a LOT worse… probiotics can also make you smell more for the first week or two until your body gets used to them…. I had a few weeks of smelling AWFUL… I wanted to run away from my own backside lol. Mine I believe was triggered more by changing the brand of my pregnancy vitamin. Hope this helps answer your question x
