thank you for asking. you don't give the age of the child but it's worth noting that most people's flatulence (farting) has an odor. sometimes it's worse than others and the odor of a person's farts can vary from hour to hour or day by day. usually the smell of farts doesn't mean anything bad. many foods produce gas in the intestines. different foods can cause smelly farts in some people but not in others. eggs frequently cause stinky farts in many people as does broccoli. i wouldn't jump to the conclusion that a child's smelly gas indicates a medical problem. if the child has a good appetite and is eating a balanced diet with no other digestive problems (chronic diarrhea cramps bloating) then there's probably nothing wrong. just because one parent has a family history of digestive problems doesn't mean a child will inherit these. it's worth mentioning this history to the child's pediatrician who can help you monitor for diseases. wishing you well!
what could be the cause of child's consistent stinky farts? . father has chrons disease. father's family has history of other gastro problems.
