Brian “The smell of farts has become terrible”… Because I ate a lot of ‘this food’?

Singer Brian confessed to having a strong fart smell.

Singers Brian and Hyoyeon appeared on SBS Power FM’s ‘2 O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show’ broadcast on the 22nd and talked.

On this day, Hyoyeon was asked, “Tell me about an interesting TMI (Too Much Information),” and answered, “I gained weight.” DJ Kim Tae-gyun said, “I have no idea. It’s the same,” and Brian also added, “Everyone was more angry than funny.”

In response, Hyoyeon explained, “You can tell by looking at the way you wear pants. If your pants are too tight these days and you have to unbutton the pants you normally wear when eating, you know that.”

When asked about Brian’s TMI, he confessed, “I ate a lot of protein, so my farts smelled really bad,” which made everyone laugh.

Protein foods rich in sulfur can make farts smell bad

As Brian mentioned, protein-rich foods actually make your farts smell stronger. This is because nitrogen and sulfur, which are abundant in protein foods, are fermented by intestinal microorganisms, making farts smell terrible.

For example, foods rich in animal protein such as eggs, pork, beef, and fish contain a lot of sulfur, which is converted into hydrogen sulfide by intestinal bacteria. It gives off a foul odor similar to rotten eggs.

Manufactured protein sources such as protein shakes, powders, and bars contain lactose, sugar alcohols, and fiber, which can cause frequent farting if the body lacks the enzyme to digest them.

Therefore, when consuming protein foods, it is best to eat and drink slowly to prevent additional gas from forming in the digestive tract. Additionally, studies have shown that consuming protein after exercise can reduce gastrointestinal symptoms such as farting and indigestion compared to consuming protein before exercise.

Onions, garlic, and cruciferous vegetables also make farts smell strong.

In addition to protein foods, foods that cause unpleasant fart odor include onions and garlic. The sulfur content contained in onions and garlic breaks down during digestion, producing gas with a characteristic odor. Foods high in sulfur include eggs, meat, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower.

On the other hand, there are cases where people worry that the strong smell of farts may be due to a problem in the large intestine. If the smell of farts is strong and is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain, loss of appetite, weight loss, and bloody stool, it may be a sign of colon disease, so it is recommended to undergo an endoscopy. It’s good.
