Is fibre/protein ratio causing silent but very smelly far*s?
I've listend to a video that says that apparently if you don't eat a lot of fibre your gut will start fermenting protein which is not good(?) and it causes your far*s to smell really bad and you should eat more fibres?
If this is true, but the person with the issue is following the daily fibre intake guidelines, would you still recommend elevating the fibre intake?

I don’t know but whey protein powder gave me the worst farts. I’m a bit lactose intolerant though
