The chemicals maybe, I don't know which ones. I'm not a poop or perm expert.

I’m not a poop or perm expert.

So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn't return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.

*edit - just to articulate the urgency here, GI problems can fuck you up in terms of discomfort - we've all been there - but some of them can kill you. Idk if any of the ones that can kill you are the same ones that change the smell of your shits, but that's where the poop expert comes in.

Sadly, John McAfee has passed.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Unsure if you mean the guy named John McAfee, or if you decided to name your turd and that's what you landed on. There's a solid case to be made for either!

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

Calling it solid is being generous.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The idea that you should rush to a doctor if your poop smells different amuses me

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn't working the way it's supposed to, so yeah that's definitely a red flag.

The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I mean no doubt, the bar to visit a doctor for me is just higher than that. It would take a while for me to visit a doctor over a different smell. But I have the bar pretty high, admittedly.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah fair enough. I couldn't even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically 'if I die I die', so I definitely get it.

But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

Perms and hair removal products both contain chemicals that smell like sulfur, often described as "like rotten eggs" (my experience with rotten eggs is miniscule so I can't confirm). Cruciferous vegetables contain sulfur, as do eggs of course. Thinking back on what you ate, remember it could be more than 24 hours ago, or it could be gas from tonight getting ahead of the poop.

Some diseases can also make poop smell different so it's worth trying to come up with a more accurate description before searching the Internet. Also take into account how you feel in general.

N... No?
No.
No, I'm pretty sure I haven't.

I worked at a paper mill shutdown one time. I ended up sleeping in my truck for four days in the parking lot because all the local places were full. It was a short shutdown so I took the first layoff and drove to a the next job. After I got a shower and something to eat my first shit smelled like a paper mill. The prompts that take me back to the 'good old days'.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Paper Mill Shit should be a Yankee Candle.

I've had poops that smelled bad enough to give perms to anyone in range. Does that count?

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 3 weeks ago

I picked the wrong week to stop huffing hairspray.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yes. But only after eating cut hair with perm chemicals.

Sometimes my dog takes a shit that smells exactly like Nair.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Now that you mention it, I did have some kibble last night...

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Just kibble? Who eats JUST kibble, but not the bits??? That's like eating lucky charms without the marshmellows.

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

i've been to a hair salon that smelled like shit, does that count?

[–] Window_Error_Noises@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Search ammonia and sulfur smells in bowel movements, and see if any typical causes match your current dietary habits or medical status/medications including supplements. If they don't, see a doctor, then get to a gastroenterologist, if you can. Maybe just do that, anyway. Regular checks, and digestive health are extremely important, regardless of weird poo and especially because of weird poo, no matter how uncomfortable, it's more comfortable than the alternative.

I've noticed that it sometimes smells like epoxy glue. I wonder if we're thinking of the same scent.

Stop drinking formaldehyde
