Question 1

i have lower cramps diarrhea lower stomach ache  for 9 days and then this morning my diarrhea  smelled really bad   .what is my problem?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhea: If you have had your symptoms for 9 days, I think you should see your doctor.  I wish you the very best.

Question 2

what do i have if i burp and loose stools smell like sulphur?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Some foods such as garlic do have sulphur and can make you breath and flatus smell of sulphur. You may have to do a trial and error of adjusting your diet.
Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Question 3

my daughter has sand coloured loose stools, which smell almost chemical as does her wind. she is very hot and had a sick bug 4 days ago, any advice?

Accepted Answer

Not sure what you: mean by "a sick bug," but if you mean she was vomiting, then it sounds like she might have a gastrointestinal virus ("stomach bug"). If she has fever, she can have acetaminophen. For the stools, try to give her a more binding diet, stay off dairy and lots of fluids. Have her seen by her doctor if she is not eating/drinking or not getting better.

Question 4

what could cause loose stools with ammonia smell?

Accepted Answer

Not sure I can: help you but clostridium difficile colitis as well as bacterial dystentery have been known to cause such smells.  We need further information about your stool consistency and other factors in digestion.  Please repost with more information or see a Healthcare provider on HealthTap or near you.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Gastroenterologist: You need to be seen ASAP by a GI doctor.  It sounds as if whatever is wrong with your GI tract has made you anemic and is now a systemic illness, You will probably require colonoscopy and this should be done soon. Best wishes. Please make appt now.

Question 8

having h2s burps (egg smell).  no vomit or loose stools.  third time in 3 wk.  poss pregabalin cause? other cause? will charcoal tablets help?

Accepted Answer

Could be normal: Foul belching that smells like that could be a normal variant or related to your diet. However, there are conditions that can cause this. A gastric beazor (collection of food particles in the stomach) or gastroparesis can produce this problem. You should see your primary care doctor or a gastroenterologist to look into these possibilities.

Question 9

Consider GI : You may want to consider a consultation with a gastroenterologist. The urgency of the appointment would depend on the severity and duration of the symptoms. You may need to go through your primary care for a referral. Hope this helps!
