How do you get rid of the stinky farts caused by veggies?

The only way that I can manage my calories is by adding vegetables to my diet, but they cause a lot of gas and stinky farts. Recently I added yogurt to my diet which helps a little bit with the smell, but not a lot. I know most of you have veggies in your diet. Do you live with it or found a way to eliminate the smell.

    I mean, farts smell. Here's some info on what foods make farts smellier: https://www.thrillist.com/health/nation/why-do-my-farts-smell-so-bad.

    If you are concerned that you have excess gas or distress over it that much, you might visit with your doctor.

    Otherwise, I mean, everybody farts so just fart.

    Sometimes new foods will trigger excess smell, but your body slowly adapts. Have u tried taking Beano with your meal that is causing the gas for a week.

    Or gas x after?

    Uncooked black beans from a can will wreck havoc on my system if I haven't eaten them in months. However if I have been eating them frequently it isn't a problem.

    You don't actually. If you consume vegetables regularly, your biome will adapt to efficiently use the fiber in your food. Maybe that will change something.

    I've historically had a case of stinky after those rare occasions of consuming asparagus. In the last few months I've added asparagus to my food more often and I don't any longer notice the stinky.

    Beano if there is something in particular causing it. I wouldn’t want to be taking beano every time I eat a vegetable though. Farts just smell... maybe it will just take your digestive system some time to more efficiently break these things down, I don’t know. I wouldn’t worry about it though.

    Your gut bacterial will change over time and it will deminish.

    Some vegetables (and food in general) are more smelly than others.

    For gas I use simethicone (gas x)

    Yeah, it might be embarrassing, but you won't hurt anyone.

    You guys, Beano is expensive! Like $5 for 30 of them.
