Can foul flatulence be caused because of constipation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Constipation results in a buildup of feces in your body, the bulk of which is bacteria, which produce gas as they digest the waste from your bowels. More stool=more bacteria=more gas, as you have noticed! more frequent bowel motions decrease the gas (and odor) so get on a good diet and use softeners--discuss with your doctor if you need help.
