Hello,
Bad smelling farts are commonly due to Indigestion, malabsorption, food/lactose intolerance, IBS or gastrointestinal disease.
Avoid red meat, milk & milk products, plant-based proteins are food with a high sulfur composition that produces noxious gases.
Take fiber-rich food, stay well hydrated & avoid constipation. Take laxatives at bed time.
You are suggested to get clinically examined by a GP. Get assessed & get all blood/imaging tests done.
Your treatment will depend upon the severity of the pathology detected.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Nupur K, General & Family Physician
