What Causes Smelly Gas And Loose Motions?

For some months I've been having poorly formed (loose) motions about 3-4 times a day, and very smelly too. I also pass smelly gas all day. Generally the need to run to toilet is great - as if it's all going to come out before I reach the pot. My stool test is absolutely normal and there are no other symptoms, like loss of appetite, vomiting, blood in stool or fever. Do I need to do something about this or can I just ignore it?
