Odd Smelling Stools
Posted: 10-11-04 13:44pm

I have been having odd smelling, light colored stools off and on for the last six weeks that have a chemical odor (that I can only describe as smelling like mothballs). I've had numerous tests (abdominal cat scan, ultrasound, and hida), radiologic and blood tests all of which are normal. I've recently developed itching all over with no rash. I am not overweight. My appetite has diminished lately and I have lost maybe 3-4 pounds in the last month. I think I must be crazy since all of my medical tests have been normal, but how do I imagine this type of problem with my stools?


Anyone ever heard of or had a similar problem?


Thanks,

ddl

I know the feeling i have been having trouble out of my stomach for over ten years and i haven't found out what is wrong with me yet. I have the fishy smelling stool, that is sometimes very loose and shapeless. I have had pretty much every test that i can think of but they turn out to be normal, but i don't feel normal. I was starting to think that maybe it was in my head, but after coming to this site i see that i am not alone. If you can find out what's wrong with you please keep in touch.
