What Causes Flatulence?
Hi,
I am a 22 year old male. Height 186 cms, Weight 87kgs. I have had no major illnesses in the past.
My query is that since the last two months I have been experiencing a lot of flatulence with a very foul odor.
There is a feeling of bloating also. My bowel movements are very irregular and the stools exhibit a very foul odor.
I also experience occasional pain in the left side of the abdomen and just below the stomach.
I moved to new city two months ago and my meals mainly consist of restaurant food and rarely do I consume home cooked food.
I was diagnosed with colitis about a year ago and with a course of antibiotics I was fine. Requesting your help.
