SMELLY STOOLS- 1.Typical metabolic disorders may lead to peculiar smells in stools. 2.Metallic smell is specially due to occult blood discharge from the rectum or anus which is mixed with the stool. Its main cause may be worm infestation in the gut, rectal ulcers, colon lesions and cancers. Blood as one knows is the combination of haemoglobin and other components like platelets, WBC's, RBC's etc So haem specially means iron. This is the metal that smells so peculiar when mixed with enzymes in the liver and afterwards with stool formation.
