What Causes Smelly Stool Of Abnormal Consistency Years After Gallbladder Removal?
My stool occasionally smells like burnt hair, and has not been normal consistency (a yellowish/clear fluid that floats on the surface, plus the stool itself is sludgy/semisolid). What could this be indicative of? I ve had my gallbladder removed about 3 years ago and I still have stomach pains on a daily bases.

Hello,
You can go for a stool routine examination to look for infection like gastroenteritis. As of now, you can take laxatives like lactulose for symptomatic relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
