A member asked:
Any doctors here able to review some pictures for me in order to get to the bottom of this fecal odor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, not enough: Information is available from photographs alone. Foods ingested and bacterial types and amounts, not to mention certain disease states, or the presence of blood, for example, in stools all contribute to odor. If this is related to feeling ill, you should see your doctor. Or, referral to a gastroenterologist may be in order if this is an ongoing or severe issue. Good luck. Dr. Tholen.
