A member asked:

For the last week, my stool has been narrow and soft, but hard to come out, and i go a day without pooping. but my farts burn and smell like eggs. whats going on here?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Narrow stools: The odor comes from ingesting sulfur containing foods including meats, sea food, beans,peas. Narrow stools aren't necessarily worrisome. Difficulty passing stool can be helped by inserting a glycerin rectal suppository prior to the BM. Continue drinking adequate fluids,take fiber like Metamucil daily and exercise regularly for more regular BM's.
