Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
A bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa is associated with production of sweet odor and it could be growing in your fecal matters. You can go through the following link:

You need not grow apprehensive as this organism, even if present, has not caused any infection. Various organisms are present in our bowels in any case.
Another possibility is the development of a substance called ketones which is also associated with sweet smell. Getting your blood glucose level checked will give an estimate whether that could be the case.
