Question 1

all of the sudden for the past month, ive had loose stool and it has a funny smell. sort of like burnt rubber but not quite. my gas smells the same. no matter what i eat it always smells the same. what could be the cause of this?

Accepted Answer

: The gas smell may be because of the nature of the gas produced by the type of bacteria you have in your bowel. They probably act on components of the food you eat mainly the sugars to ferment and produce gas that smell also in your stool. You could attempt to change it by using probiotic, eating fermented food. If you do not have pain with the loose stool and not too frequent probably not worry.

Question 2

felt great all day, suddenly sharp pains in abs, get home and completely liquid poo and smells like burnt hair. a lot of poo, gas, and slight sweating. i haven't eaten anything that strange? don't feel bad now.

Accepted Answer

Food poisoning: What you described fits with pre-formed Staphylococcal toxin food poisoning. It is usually short lived and self limiting. Make sure you drink enough water to avoid dehydration.

Question 3

hi. my3 month old who is strictly on fornula has the worst farts. they smell like rotten eggs and smells up whole room.  do you think it's the formula?

Accepted Answer

We are: what we eat, and fart that way too.  So yes, the food we eat is  turned into gas by the bacteria in our intestines and that makes the farts.  However, changing his formula is not going to make a big difference, some kids are just smelly.

Question 4

sweat smells like fart?

Accepted Answer

Smelly Sweat: The primary cause of strong-smelling perspiration is bacterial flora. Sweat is naturally odorless, but when it reaches the skin's surface, bacteria that normally live on the skin digest sweat and excrete the strong-smelling waste associated with smelly sweat.
Treat the bacteria and the smell goes away.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

GERD: One reason for  rotten egg/ sulfur smelling burps is gastroesophageal reflux disease. I see that you carry that diagnosis.

Question 7

why do i have always fart and it smells?

Accepted Answer

Diet: Most likely your gas is related to your diet.  If you notice gas happens after certain foods, try to avoid those foods.  If you frequently have  cramping, pain or diarrhea,  you should consult your  physician.  Gi problems including celiac disease or lactose intolerance are not that uncommon. You may wish to avoid dairy foods for an interim. Wolfing food - eating very fast - my also contribute. Bno.

Question 8

i fart a lot and it smells really good. is this normal?

Accepted Answer

?: Everyone is different.  As long as  other issues are occurring, no worries.

Question 9

hello, i was just wondering why, sometimes when i fart it smells metallic?

Accepted Answer

Can vary frequently: The gas released rectally is related to the process of digestion and breakdown of the contents ingested.  The smells will vary dramatically depending on the type of food, amounts, and the fluids ingested.  It can be common to have smells of metallic nature or any number of smells.  This is generally not an indication of anything bad.  See your provider if other symptoms.  Hope this helps.
