Could Pantoprazole Cause Bad Odor Like Chemicals In Stools?

I have been taking pantoprazole sod 40 mg since 2-6-2014 & today my bowel movements include a horrible odor ( almost smells like a chemical of some sort). Is this a side effect of the medicine? Also, it s almost an apple sauce consistency, but not diahrrea,.
