I had xrays on my pelvis and knees a few days ago. having very frequent, discolored, abnormal (chemical) smelling flatulence and diarrhea since. why?

Not from x-rays: X-rays are ionizing radiation, which means they do cause some cell damage - but minimal and not enough to affect your bowel function. It's more likely that you have a mild illness. Start with a very bland diet, avoiding dairy products and meats. Give it a few days and see a doctor if you get ill with a fever.
