Stool odor is mostly seen in Chinese medicine as a result of dietary stagnation, dampness and heat in the stomach and intestines. Eating too much food can lead to dietary stagnation, resulting in foul-smelling stools, accompanied by symptoms such as fullness in the epigastrium (stomach and abdomen), belching and acid swallowing (burping with foul taste and acid reflux in the mouth), and a lack of desire to eat and drink. Chinese medicines such as Baohe Pills and Stomach Enhancing and Eliminating Tablets can be used to regulate the condition.
Damp-heat in the stomach and intestines will lead to intestinal conduction malfunction, which is mostly caused by heat and toxin attack during summer, poor diet, and accumulation of damp-heat in the stomach and intestines. The symptoms include smelly stools, loose stools (unformed stools with a feeling of not being emptied), lack of appetite, decreased food intake, abdominal distension and pain. You can take Pueraria Mirifica Pills and Clearing Heat and Dispelling Dampness Granules.
Stool odor can also be caused by eating too much meat or too much spicy and greasy food. It can be regulated by changing dietary habits and eating more soft and easy-to-digest foods.
If you have any of the above symptoms, it is recommended to consult a doctor for scientific treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
