foul smelling stool

I would suspect that you have pouchitis or bacterial overgrowth to have such an obnoxious smell. You can call your doctor for a short course of antibiotics, or you can try probiotics and perhaps Pepto Bismol to turn this around.

Of course, if you are just self-conscious about normal smells that do not linger like a cloud, you can try travel size Ozium. It works pretty good.

cdiff infection also causes extremely rank smells. have you been checked recently?

If that's all clear look into Poopourri. Even comes in a handy purse size!

It sucks! I have horrible smelling stool since I no longer use antibiotics. Before I smelled like nothing! Was great.

Certain foods tend to make my poop smell linger through the whole house, no matter what I do. So gross. One thing you can try is "Just a Drop" I get mine off Amazon in packets of 3 and it goes in the toilet before you go to the bathroom and helps trap some of the smell. Works for me when I am at work and helps the anxiety of ruining someone's nose.

Avoid fish and pork. those 2 will make me real stinky,

Vanessavy,

Thanks so much for that recommendation, i'm definitely going to try it! I just have anxiety over going to the bathroom over a guys place in the first place and it doesn't help when your stool is no longer normal ha. I will let you know how it works!

Because I alternate antibiotics one week with lactulose and no antibiotics the next, I am noticing I have foul-smelling stools during the no-antibiotic weeks. I am not sure if it is the lactulose or BO or what, but I don't have the foul-smelling stool during the weeks when I am taking antibiotics.

That is one thing I forgot to mention to my doctor. My stool smells horrible.
