feces normally have an unpleasant smell. foul-smelling stools have an
unusually strong, putrid smell.
in many cases, foul-smelling stools occur
due to the foods people eat and the bacteria present in their colon.
however, foul-smelling stools can also indicate a serious health problem.
diarrhea, bloating, or flatulence may occur with foul-smelling stools.
these stools are often soft or runny.
