What Causes Constant Farting Along With Bad Odour?

I seem to be farting without actually farting. People call it smoking anally. It is embarrassing. I don t feel it coming out at all and it is a horrible smell and sometimes it literally looks like smoke fills the room. Help me please. What is happening?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of constant farting along with bad odour . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like gastroenteritis, lactose intolerance, electrolyte imbalance, food poisoning, irritable bowel syndrome and crohn's disease. drinking warm water throughout the day and doing light exercises can help alot . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper examination. Doctor may order stool test , ultrasound , endoscopy along with that take history. Doctor may prescribe laxative , ornidazole or albendazole along with ranitidine. You should avoid food like seafood and nuts , take antacid after every meal and keep your head elevated while lying down. You should go for exercise daily and take diet rich in fibers.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
