Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I am Dr.R.K and I am pleased to assist you.

Constipation itself can lead to accumulation of gas which can be foul smelling. The other important cause being bacterial infection.

For relief from constipation you need to do the following -
1. Take Miralax
2. Take high fiber diet ( lot of vegetables and fruits)
3. Drink enough fluids

If in spite of getting relief from constipation you still pass foul smelling gas, get a stool analysis done and take a course of probiotics.

Let me know if you have any more questions.
Regards,
Dr.R.K.
