What Causes Burnt Hair Smell For Stools?

My stool smells like burnt hair. There have been several occasions where this is the case. I do not have consistent bowel movements and go several times a day. Most days. Right now it is pretty much just fluid and I've also been throwing up. That is also just fluid.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your complain you have a problem of fluid stool with a bad smell that may be because of simple gastritis or infective condition.

Any other symptoms present like fever or pain at a particular site than think about other condition. Irritable bowel also leads to this type of symptoms. Liver problem also causes this type of symptoms with pain at the particular site.

Mention a duration and aggravating factor also. Anti-diarrheal drugs are helpful. After taking this if there is no improvement than do a stool examination test for further diagnosis. Keep your body hydrated. Consult a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
