Foul smelling stools on vacation. did i pick up a bug?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: More pungent stool with travel can be common due to different diets and/or different bacteria or viruses that we ingest. If the symptoms occur with a fever, diarrhea, or abdominal pain, best to follow up with your doctor and be sure to tell him or her of your recent travel.
