Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Metallic odor in stool might be due to malabsorption most probably. It can occur generally after minor infection in your GI tract. It will subside on its own and no need to worry as you don’t have any other symptoms, like fever or blood in stool. As of now, take plenty of fluids and have fiber rich diet.
Wishing you good health.
Thanks.
