Brief Answer:
Try to modify your diet.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Gas is usually produced by bacteria present in the large intestine. Bad smell can be a sign of some strange bacteria infection of your bowels. And so is constipation.
Diet containing gas-producing foods can also be the reason (especially beans, broccoli, cabbage, fruits, fatty foods, sweets, carbonated drinks). Even eating too fast, smoking, chewing gum can be the case.
I suggest you to start with diet modification and probiotic intake. If this wont help, stool test and stool culture test can help in choosing possible treatment (antibiotic).
Hope this helps. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
