Brief Answer:
Hi XXXXX. Excessive gas with bad odor can be due to what you eat

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX. Excessive gas with bad odor can be due to what you eat or a medical problem. Look out for excessive fibre consumption, radish, garlic, dried beans of all kinds, or anything you normally find hard to digest.
A gall bladder or liver problem can cause the same.
You can try an over the counter multi enzyme preparation, before meals two to three times a day.
Rule out any dietary cause and get a sonography of your abdomen and Liver function tests. You can revert back. Regards.
