When expelling gas, anus feels like it is burning from acid (not fire) but i dont eat anything acidic. foul smell. virus or bacteria the cause?

Could be: related to diet (i.e. spicy foods) or infection. Hard to say at this time. See your doctor, he/she will be able to evaluate further with stool studies and possibly a scoping procedure. Best of luck.
