The odor of farts comes from small amounts of hydrogen sulfide gas and mercaptans in the mixture. These compounds contain sulfur. Nitrogen-rich compounds such as skatole and indole also add to the stench of farts. The more sulfur-rich your diet, the more sulfides and mercaptans will be produced by the bacteria in your guts, and the more your farts will stink. Foods such as cauliflower, eggs and meat are notorious for producing smelly farts, whereas beans produce large amounts of not particularly stinky farts.

At the risk of being graphic and a little vulgar, farts that stink are those that have to pass a mass of fecal matter (poop) on the way out. They pick up the odor as they squeeze by. Farts that don't stink had a clear passage, straight from the location where they were formed by fermentation, to daylight. Want to avoid SBDs? Just don't fart when you feel like you might have to defecate in the near future.

Because sometimes you don't have your head up your anus.
