Or perhaps Fili was an exception, and the older dwarves had prostate problems? Small wonder Balin was waterlogged, and Thorin came out like a large dog who has been kept in a small kennel!
That's a nice idea, but let me tell you the real reason:
When Aulë first made the Dwarves, he simply forgot this minor detail. He never paid much attention to Biology, and concealed his little project from Yavanna (husbands tend to do this, and always pay for it); therefore, Dwarves had to absorb everything they consumed - and normally die of corpulent indigestion (if they were not violently killed).
Aforetime it was held among the Elves in Middle-earth that dying the Dwarves returned to the earth and the stone of which they were made.
You see, after never seeing any dwarf relieving themselves, the Elves assumed they just cannot be humanoid - as opposed to Orcs, which were bred in mockery of the children of Ilúvatar, and were always having bowel problems.
"Bard is known as someone who forebodes gloomy things like floods and poisoned fish. Floods I can see, but poisoned fish? How and why would Bard forebode poisoned fish? Or is this just a slander against Bard?"

Probably as bad as it smelled in the barrels.
