Dr. Donald Colantino answered

Loose stool: Stool odor is nondiagnostic. Loose stools for a month could be due to bacterial or parasitic infection, irritable bowel syndrome or food intolerance like gluten. While waiting to see a physician or gastroenterologist, try pinpointing any food causes. Testing will be ordered after the office visit.
