my 6 year old has had rotten egg smelling farts for a week and a half should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No,unless he's ill: Smelly farts are sometimes seen with some foods that tend to be gas producing, which includes the bean and cabbage foods.  If there is a digestion problem, such as lactose intolerance, recent antibiotic use or a diarrhea virus, it can cause more gas.  Occasionally if a  person is a constipated, they will often pass more gas than normal as well.  If he acts ill or is losing weight, see his doctor.

That's normal.: Flatulence contains methane, a gas which has a rotten-egg or sulfur odor. This may be more common or noticeable if you consume a lot of meat. You probably pass gas during the day as well as at night, but you're more likely to smell them during the night when you aren't walking around.

Dietary factor?: If this is completely new &amp; there is no diarrhea, it sounds suspicious for a dietary cause: are there any new/different foods?  If not, perhaps a medication or supplement? Or major change in stress leading to irritable bowel?  If it persists more than a few days see Dr for eval. 
You could also try probiotics

Question 9

i have a 7 week old baby who spits up a lot and his burls and farts smell like rotten eggs?

Accepted Answer

Needs followup: Need more information about feeding.  Is baby breastfed or bottlefed or a combination of the two?  Spit up may be due to overfeeding if baby is bottlefed. Also baby may spit up due to rapid bottle feeding and taking in excess air. Bowels and farts may have foul odor if formula fed.  Follow up with baby's doctor re feeding issues.
