Why do my stools smell like sulfur? i always have diarrhea and sometimes it smells like sulfur.

See a GI doctor: If you are always having loose to watery stools you should see someone and be evaluated. The odor of stool is related to diet and the bacterial flora in your colon. Some of these bacteria may produce sulfur containing materials.
