Sticky foul smelling feces

Sticky foul smelling feces

I constantly have sticky foul smelling feces. Along with a serious problem with gas. Everyone tells me it's diet. I have changed my diet many times, with no changes. I usually have bowel movements everyday if that makes any difference.
I was told that the foul smell is a high level of bacteria. My blood tests come back normal.
Anyone have any idea what could cause this?

Willy, go to your doc and ask to have some stool tests done. The foul smell could be fat malabsorption or it could be due to skewed bacterial levels. It needs to be checked out and blood tests aren't the way to go.
