What Causes Foul Smelling Stool While On Diet?

Hello, I have changed my diet over the last 6 months eating higher fiber, more fruits and green veggies, I still have some red meat and whole grain pasta and fast food maybe once a week. The councern I have is my bowel movements are still pretty normal as they been most of my life. However, they smell more awful than normal. In honesty just like a sewer. Is this because I have been eating healthier ?
