A member asked:
My 6 year old has had rotten egg smelling farts for a week and a half should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
