is the presence of a mixture of gases known as flatus in the digestive tract of mammals. Flatus is expelled under pressure through the anus, usually accompanied by a distinct odor and sound, a process known informally as farting. The non-odorous gases are mainly nitrogen (ingested), carbon dioxide (produced by aerobic microbes or ingested), and hydrogen (produced by some microbes and consumed by others), as well as lesser amounts of oxygen (ingested) and methane (produced by anaerobic microbes). Odors result from trace amounts of other components (often containing sulfur compounds, see below).

gases from a food you ate alot of that day. IT is not frequent cause not all food you eat has bad gases that make you fart.

Fragrant, not frequent. The last thing to want is frequency. Methane gases mostly.
