Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
Malodorous gas could be due to improper digestion or infection.
A stool test may be done for evaluation.

Take digestive enzyme supplements like Beano/Galto/ Digestal after consulting your doctor.
You may also discuss with your doctor about taking simethicone.
Try to avoid gas forming food items like beans, brocolli, cabbage , cauliflower, milk and milk products.

I hope that answers your question.
If you have no more questions kindly rate this service.
Regards,
Dr.Ratnakar Kini
