Interesting and funny article about smell of farts at http://www.abc.net.au/spark/smelly/begone/begone04.htm
"The compounds in a typical flatus are hydrogen sulphide (1.06 micro mol/L) methanethiol (0.21 micro mol/L) and dimethyl sulphide (0.08 micro mol/L). The judges thought that hydrogen sulphide smelt like "rotten eggs" and methanethiol like "decomposing vegetables", while dimethyl sulphide actually smelt "sweet"."
I don't think this answers your question, but it's good to laugh.
Rubber smell...I've had this...thinking retrospectively that it could have been breaking down of bad bacteria in the bowel, perhaps a tummy bug.
I now take turmeric as a supplement and this smells a bit iffy too. :-]
