Hi Doc, My stool smells like burning rubber. It's not solid but not watery either. I have trapped wind and cramps. I take the mini pill, don't bleed, and I'm having menstrual symptoms. Are they connected? or could the rubbery smell be something else?

I release different kinds of smells from my nose frequently, though I don't have sinusitis. Type of smell (sewage, rotten meat, fart, burning cloth, stool smells) depends upon the food I ate. Is this because of SIBO or IMO? Suffering since 10 years?
