The chemicals maybe, I don't know which ones. I'm not a poop or perm expert.

I’m not a poop or perm expert.

So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn't return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.

*edit - just to articulate the urgency here, GI problems can fuck you up in terms of discomfort - we've all been there - but some of them can kill you. Idk if any of the ones that can kill you are the same ones that change the smell of your shits, but that's where the poop expert comes in.

Sadly, John McAfee has passed.

Unsure if you mean the guy named John McAfee, or if you decided to name your turd and that's what you landed on. There's a solid case to be made for either!

Calling it solid is being generous.

The idea that you should rush to a doctor if your poop smells different amuses me

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn't working the way it's supposed to, so yeah that's definitely a red flag.

The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.

I mean no doubt, the bar to visit a doctor for me is just higher than that. It would take a while for me to visit a doctor over a different smell. But I have the bar pretty high, admittedly.

Yeah fair enough. I couldn't even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically 'if I die I die', so I definitely get it.

But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.
