Stool odor change causes?
lately i'm feeling bloating in my stomach and change in stool odor. its like more gas i have to release and it smells bad when i poop. what might this be?
i've been really stressed lately and too anxious as well. i think i'm depressed coz of frequent mood swings and panic attacks. and after eatin when i feel like full and burp it feels kinda sour.
can IBS cause this or is it some kind of bacteria. i feel like this since after i made out with a girl.

Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
There are some bacteria in the gut that produce hydrogen sulfide gas. Sometimes this gas is produced in such huge quantities that the sulfide oxidase enzyme in the wall of the gut is not able to oxidize all of it and convert it to thiosulfate. This gas has a smell of rotten eggs. You need to cut down food items that contain sulfites. Most of this gas comes from sulfites a person consumes, which is a part of all preservatives. Sulfites are present in all juices, molasses, yellow dye in ready made food stuffs, and red wine. Sulfites are present in lesser amounts in mashed potatoes made from dry powder, pickles, tinned shrimp, cookies, crackers, and readymade pie dough.
If you have been taking these things in a good amount, then cut down the intake. Also take a lactobacillus preparation and yoghurt with your meals. In all probability the smell will go. Certain food items like cabbage, radish, turnip and certain meat products too cause a foul smell in stool and cutting down these food items also helps. If it persists, then talk to your doctor.
Other causes will have to be looked into such as intestinal infection, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, short bowel syndrome, malabsorption syndromes, chronic pancreatitis or hepatitis and cystic fibrosis. You will need to consult a gastroenterologist then. Hope this helps. Take care!

It could be but with you being stressed and anxious with panic attacks right there throws up red flags in my eyes! stress anxiety and panic attacks is very rough on the body! i know when i get stressed out i get diareha every time! i wouldnt worry too much about it... keep an eye on it and try your best to find a way to calm down... try meditation or even just a nice hot bath in complete solitude to keep yourself calmed down! i hope you get to feeling better!
Hi there,
Stress can really upset digestion, I would suggest getting some digestive enzymes from a health store to help with food digestion when you feel very stressed. It's best not to eat when you are stressed, wait until you feel more calm and relaxed otherwise your meal may just sit in your and become very acid, not digest properly, rot and ferment and cause bad smelling gas. Over eating regularly can also cause foul poops and foul gas, again, if you have a tendency to overeat, take digestive enzymes with every meal. Need more info, message me if you want, April
