A member asked:

Occasional stools with odor. had stool tests for malabsorption/gut issues. all negative. normal to have occasional stools that smell a bit different?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Your stools will emit odors produced by the germs that inhabit the intestines. I recall that the gas produced by germ effect on beer & smoked oysters could clear a room, while usual feeds did not. You can change your dominant gut germ balance by ingesting probiotics. That may solve any odd odor issue you are concerned about.
