My husband has very foul smelling bowel movements. when he has one he clears out the house for a couple of hours. this is no exaggeration. could there be something wrong with him? they smell really nauseating to everyone in the house

Could be a bunch: Fat malabsorption due to pancreatic disease, intestinal disease like celiac sprue can lead to foul smelling, greasy, fatty, yellowish, bulky, frothy stools. Can also be due to diet, "aromatics" like onions, garlic, curry, etc. Worth talking to md about. Easy to screen for fatty stools, and for celiac sprue.
