Undigested food in your large intestine is eaten by bacteria that live there. The waste produced by these bacteria becomes a fart. A fart is a mixture of carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane (not smelly) plus indole, skatole and hydrogen sulfide (smelly). The official scientific term for farting is "flatulence".
