Can Serious Diarrhea Smell So Bad That Eyes Start Watering ?

Yeah I just had some serious diarrhea and it smelled so bad I had to use the towel off the towel rack to filter the air around me. It was so bad my eyes started to water! Earlier I had some funky canned tuna, it didn t taste or smell bad, and its texture was the usual, but after I ate it (perhaps 30+ minutes later?) I had a headache and my belly hurt. The incident (diarrhea) took place the next day. Is this food poisoning or...?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Note the history eating some funky canned tuna and developed headache and pain in abdomen within half an hour. Developed diarrhea, with very bad smell,.
This surely is an infection called food poisoning.
I would advise you the following:
Rush to ER as this can be very dangerous as it is smelling so bad indicates there can be gram negative septicemia which has to be observed keenly. have clinical evaluation and proper treatment.
Take probiotics, curds and bananas along with activated charcoal.
You may need intravenous antibiotics, fluids and supportive medicines.
I find this answer helpful
