What Causes Metallic Smell In Stools?
for the last 3-5 days my stools have had a metallic smell. i have crohn's disease, but am currently medication and symtom free. i do take some supplements and probiotics, but i have been taking the same "cocktail" of supplements for months, so I wouldn't think that would be the cause. What could this be from and should I be concerned?
