There was a time when medicine put a lot of focus on the smell and consistency of bowel movements. There's probably something to it but we have better diagnostics now. That said, normal bowel movements can have a bit of an odor but it should not be strong or particularly foul-smelling. If it is, consider changing your diet or getting it checked out if that doesn't help. I found that just cutting out fast foods made that particular bodily function nearly odorless.
- bluGill 8mo agoDoctors have better tools than smell and consistency. However you as a layman don't normally have/use those tools.
- HarHarVeryFunny 8mo agoNo, poop is meant to smell repulsive. This is evolution's way to discourage you from doing anything unhealthy like touching it or eating it.

- Fire-Dragon-DoL 8mo agoYou can make poop smell horribly by eating healthy stuff. Broccoli smells bad as vegetables, eat enough and it will smell similarly. Fart smells changes too based on what you eat. Krauts have a terrible smell and the resulting poop is as terrible...
- dinfinity 8mo ago"Nearly odorless"? I call bullshit.
- SoftTalker 8mo agoHonestly just a fairly mild earthy smell. Nothing terrible. When I was a kid my dad could render the bathroom unapproachable for 15 minutes. But he drank whiskey and smoked.
