Farting is a very normal phenomenon. However, if you fart a lot and have an unpleasant smell, it is due to your lifestyle. The causes of bad smelling farts are usually on the following list:
Eat a lot of fiber supplements Your body has poor food intolerances Some antibiotics get you in trouble You have problems with your system Digestion especially constipation Gastrointestinal bacteria are accumulating and growing. Usually when you fart it is rare that the scent makes people extremely uncomfortable. However, if you have problems with genital herpes or colon cancer, the risk of an unpleasant odor is higher.
Some food groups are listed as indigestible such as beans, broccoli, rice bran, milk, carbonated drinks. These foods are said to be rich sources of fiber and they also contain a large amount of sugar that affects the body's digestion. Not all, but most people who use this food group easily lead to uncontrolled farting.

If they accumulate for too long, it will lead to fermentation and odor. So you fart will have an unpleasant smell and affect everyone around.
