Lately I have been having diarrhea on and off and to me my output actually smells like a wild animal lol! Has anyone else ever experienced this? I was checked for Cdiff but another doc told me they might have to get a sample from a stoma scope.

Hi, I had 2 small servings of yogurt, cambells potatoe soup and then instant oatmeal. Those were all eaten at different times in the matter of 4 hours today when it happened. I wonder if it's milk products? Like the yogurt? It's something that's been happening quite a bit lately but today was the first time I've had yogurt in a long while. It's hard to explain but it smells like a wild animal smell.
can you give me some good suggestions of what to eat for odors?

I'm the last person you want telling you what to eat, I eat anything and everything. However, reading what you ate, you need some solid food imo.

I agree with Alex t . I will tell you to though I eat potato soup and that will make your output smell oddly lol try not eating the potato soup and see if the odorstops.by wild animal do you mean a fishy smell?
Hi all a local bakery/ restaurant makes a great potato ham soup and when i eat that my output smells earthy is the only way i can describe it and i dont get that odor if i eat a bakedpotato or other type of spuds.
