You : You may be dealing with lactose intolerance which basically means you are having difficulty digesting dairy products thus resulting in foul smelling gas. Try a week free of dairy (no milk, butter, cheese, sour cream, yogurt etc. If you improve then you have your answer. There are pills you can buy over the counter that help aid in the digestion of dairy products. If this proves not to be the problem visit your doctor for a medical evaluation.

Diet change: You may need to think about diet change. Please check whether any of the medicines you are taking can cause this problem too.
