What Causes Foul Smelling Stool In A Child?

My 6 year old son has very stinky poop and sometimes he has to go a few times a day. He usually is in a hurry to go (like diarreah) but he spends a lot of time in there ( like he is constipated) Its been happening for a few months now. Can you give me any ideas of suggestions to try
