Question

I seem to be farting a lot and it's really embarrassing, especially because they're often wet and smell really bad. This is becoming a problem in places like the classroom and hostel. I'm also noticing that my stool has a strong odor, particularly in the mornings. What could be causing this and is there anything I can do to fix it?

Excessive, wet, and foul-smelling flatulence, along with bad-smelling stools, may indicate an imbalance of gut bacteria, poor digestion, or malabsorption of nutrients; consider incorporating probiotics, digestive enzymes, and fiber-rich foods into your diet, while also avoiding trigger foods like beans, cabbage, and dairy
