Constipation: Yes, keep doing what you are doing. I would also recommend you try some senna. Good gentle laxative. Eat and apple too.

Lifestyle change: Constipation is a symptom, not a disease.-Foul smelling stools can be a side effect of taking more than recommended daily allowance of a multivitam or mineral. Foul-smelling stools can occur due to the foods people eat & bacteria that resides in their bowel.Malabsorption such as celiac disease, CHO & Dietary protein intolerance, Food allergy,IBD and many GI infection can cause foul smell.
