Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Occasionally I have diarrhea that has a smell that reminds me of burnt wood. It usually starts with huge, long belches that taste like sulphur. What in the world could be causing this? I take several prescription medications, but I can t figure out if it s any of them.
