Stool smells like Gasoline/Acetone or motor oil

dailyyy
I know it's graphic, sorry, but my poop smells very strong of gasoline or a chemical smell.  I took antibiotics about 5-6 months ago and started probiotics thinking it could be an imbalance thing.  Im not sure.  Im 40 years old male.  This has been going on for over a month now.  What do you think it could be?

Update: I have been taking Lacto-Fit (a Korean probiotic powder) twice a day for a week and the smell is going back to normal.
