What Could Bad Smell In The Feces And Metallic Smell In The Mouth Indicate?

I have ammonia pungent type of smell in my feces and sometimes have a metallic taste in my mouth. I wipe myself clean after going to the bathroom but the odour is still coming off me afterwards even when I have not had a bowel movement. I have also had the fishy smell coming from my vagina area and been checked for bacterial vaginitis and been told that this is clear but it might be a ph imbalance in my vagina. Are these two things connected and what can I do about it, the odour especially feces smell emitting off me is very depressing.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of bad smell in the feces and metallic smell in the mouth indicate which could be because of hormonal changese gum infection, dental infection, side effect of certain medication, vitamin and minerals,Acid reflux,diabetes, sinus infection, certain chemical poisoning, disorders related to Brain and kidney or liver disease can also lead to similar symptoms.

I would suggest you to take multivitamin for this. Drink plenty of water. Take diet rich in proteins and also take probiotic food thrice a day . Your symptoms will resolve soon. Keep chewing sugarless candies. Maintain oral hygiene with betadine gargles two times a day. Antacids can prevent feeling of dizziness. Take tablet acetaminophen.

If condition doesn't get better then consult oral pathologist , who may also refer you to gastroenterologist for acid reflux.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
