What Causes Foul Body Odour?
For the last 3 months I have had rotten eggs smelling gas and everytime I go to the bath even if it is just to urinate I pass stool that is very light in color and appears in small drops/balls. Usually 30 minutes after I eat I have an urgency to have a bowel movement. I have never experienced this before.

Hi,
Most common cause for foul odor is infection either urinary tract infection or intestinal infection. So get done urine microscopic examination and stool microscopic examination for infection.
Also get done ultrasound examination of abdomen to rule out any intestinal pathology. You may need antibiotics and other supportive drugs. Drink plenty of fluids orally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
