Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted the history of farting without smell, but the last 2 days you have wet farts, which are leaving skid-marks on underwear. This is in spit of no change in diet or lifestyle.
The commonest cause of such an occurrence of development of the mucus which makes the anal canal wet to make it easy for any leakage.
The causes of gases are usually in the imbalance of good and bad bacteria, the bad bacteria making more gases which may be odorless.
I would advise you the following:
Stool tests of 3 consecutive days.
A 5 day course of an antibiotic and metronidazole and probiotic should help to solve the problem.
I find this answer helpful
