What Causes Odor To Stools With Loose Stools?

I have had 5 stool sample tests and so far 4 of the 5 came back negative. Reasons for tests was loose stools consistently, and a new, consistent odor to the stool. I ve been tested for CDiff, Giaria (sp?) and other bacterial infections. Why the same odor of the stool? Recently have been taking a probiotic, but it has been at least 12 weeks since starting it, and still loose stools and smell. Is my body just releasing the toxins I ve accumulated?

Thank you for contacting HCM. Sorry as we are s tugging to find an answer to your problem.

change is food habits can cause this. digestive problems like celiac disease or irritable bowel syndrome can cause this.

celiac disease is nothing but allegiance to gluten like wheet. please ask your doctor to check for this.

colon disorders can cause this. if all the lab work comes negative, probably you should have colonoscopy.

avoid certain foods like pulses etc to see if that helps you.

finally it could be irritable bowel syndrome with no cause.

please tell us your age and gender.

also inform us if you have any other symptoms like eye issues or joint issues or fecer. also let us know n if you have anemia.

hope you find exact reason soon.
good luck
