By covering your : Nose , you would smell less! (pun intended) . When you're constipated & when u eat more meat than fruits and veggies, you accumulate more waste products causing the foul smell . Here are my suggestions - drink lots of water mixed with prune juice, also take stool softeners and/ or laxatives to have daily bowel movements
