Flatulance, Arbitrary feaces texture

Hi I am a 24 year old male. For about 5 years I have had increasingly frequent flatulence. Usually It is foul smelling, with my stool type 5 on the Bristol stool chart (as on wikipedia).It is also quite warm, and I feel a burning sensation after doing my business . Also I have noticed if I delay a meal I start getting gas, both burps and farts. It is quite an embarrassing situation. Sometimes, during winters, I also get very thin poop (type 4 on the bristol stool chart). Please suggest a dietary or lifestyle remedy. I have not gained any weight for a long time now, and I think it is due to improper digestion of food. thanks

Short of there being any food tolerance issues - you should probably follow food guidelines as laid out by the USDA in the USA or the Canada Food Guide (in Canada!) to ensure you eat a relatively well rounded and healthy diet.

As for the burning sensation, there are a myriad of causes -

Hemorrhoids - A swollen vein or group of veins in the region of the anus

Fissure - A long narrow opening in the form of a crack or groove, e.g., any of the spaces separating convolutions of the brain

Anal fissure - A natural crack or tear in the skin of the anal canal. anal fissures may be noticed by bright red anal bleeding on the toilet paper, sometimes in the toilet. if acute they may cause severe periodic pain after defecation

Irritable bowel syndrome - A widespread condition involving recurrent abdominal pain and diarrhea or constipation, often associated with stress, depression, anxiety, or previous intestinal infection.

Crohns disease - A chronic inflammatory disease of the intestines

its is not haemmeroids or a fissure, there is no bleeding , and it is not just in the anus. I feel a fullness in my stomach due to gas and when the gas exits it is quite warm.
