Sulfide and Methane production in humans : FBO connection ?

This is a very speculative post.
It is said that in the HUMAN MICROBIOME, that people tend to be either :
Sulfate reducers (so, sulfide producers)
or
Methane producers

It's not clear how much is known about the microbiome but the word seems to be the population is split 50/50 being either dominant in Methane or Sulfide producer.

It would be interesting to see if those who identify with FECAL BODY ODOR and the spectrum including fart, raw cabbage etc tend to be in the SULFATE REDUCER group.
Nothing has shown up in Ubiome results yet, or at least what I have seen.

Methane in humans would tend to be produced by Archaea microbes, which funnily have been suggested as a potential TMAU therapy (they would break down TMA).

Sulfide producers would probably be mostly due to DESULFIBRIVIO bacteria, but possibly other sources.

It seems odd that in 2018 humanity still doesn't seem to have documented what cause stool smells exactly. Good guesses can be made but there seems to be no consensus and few papers.
