Is this normal or abnormal?

[ddaw899833]

This is my first time posting, I've been reading in this forum for about 3 months.I have a few questions..I haven't been to the doctor yet just because I don't go that often and something really has to be bothering me.  So I've reached a point now that I'm alittle concerned.  Nothing major I'm sure, I'm just puzzled.
I'm 37 WF, general good health, slightly overweight. I've never had any test performed on me.  For the past 3-4 months I have noticed and everyone in the same room has noticed my stomach makes loud noises, gurgling, almost like a dishwasher(my husband says).  I've read in the forum archives that bowel sounds are normal.  Theres nothing normal about this, haven't done it for the past 36 years, why now?  Also, when I go to the bathroom , the smell from a bowel movement is almost unbearable.  That started about 3-4 months ago.  The odor is alot different than the past so I think something might be going on.  In reading in the forum I'm aware of all the test that can be performed...But my question is what could be causing the symptons.  I do get somewhat nauseous after I eat, but eventually goes away.  Also, this morning the bm was pencil like, its done that before but goes back to normal, so I never have pursued it.  No mucus or blood that I'm aware of....Any ideas
The only test I have had done is blood test about a 1 1/2 years ago, my primary doctor ordered  some due to fatigue, checked thyroid, several other things.  all were normal....Question?  Could something change in that length of time?(meaning  disease??)

You might want to start Metamuscil to bulk up and move things along, and sometimes lactose intolerance creates gas and smell - have you tried any probiotics or digestive enzymes?
