Hello
Thank you for writing to us on Health care Magic.
Based on your history the response to your question is as follows.
1. Change in bowel bacteria could be cause for foul smelling stools.
2. Hard stools could have damaged mucosa and this could be causing discomfort.
3. Take plenty of hydration along with fiber rich diet. it will soften stools. Also take probiotics and yoghurt. It will help.
Hope this is helpful to you.
