Foul-smelling and loose stools may be caused by improper diet, such as consuming spicy, irritating, or greasy foods. It could also result from indigestion or chronic pancreatitis. Additionally, gastrointestinal diseases cannot be ruled out as a potential cause. If foul-smelling stools persist without improvement, it is advisable to visit a正规 hospital to determine the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment.
