I have foul smelling flatulence.does it signify any health issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: If foods are poorly digested the bacteria in your colon can produce foul smelling flatulence. So I would start with digestive aids or see if a diet of foods easily digested improved the problem. I'm sure there are other possible reasons but I suggest starting with diet and herbs/supplements to aid digestion.
