What Causes Stool Odor After Defecation?

Ok so after I poop and wipe clean, I hear people commenting on me smelling like poop. So I go back to the restroom and wipe some more and sometimes there would be small spots of poop on the tissue. I even would dig in a little (which is what some people call rimmimg). I have asked people about this online and got mixed answers. A lot of it was the stereotypical comments you expect to hear about not being hygienic enough. I did come across some people who mentioned diet, exercise and fiber others mentioned leaky gut, parasites or tmau. I love your feedback and to know if you ever heard of anything like this. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood your concerns.
The smell after going to the bathroom and yet remaining on your body is not due to the traces of feces but sue to the sweats that smells this way.
People have rightly suggested you the cause: diet, exercise and fiber; you will have to change the diet to pure veg, stop onions and garlic and strong spices.
There will be benefit.
Stop using medicated soaps as they kill the helpful bacteria that control the gas producing bacteria on ski,
Get rid of all the stress and anxiety as it has negative effects.
I find this answer helpful
