Is foul smelling stool a good sign if one’s trying to detox and lose weight with an altered diet?
About two months ago, I decided to try and lose some weight and also to try and rid my body of toxins at the same time. I wanted to see if it would help my chronic fatigue syndrome and related disorders, since nothing else really has. I’ve been taking a lot of prescription meds for pain, anxiety, insomnia and mood regulation for nearly five years. Now, smoothies for breakfast and for most lunches have become my routine. I try to keep them very healthy and filling, using organic fruits and vegetables, Activia or similar Yoplait product, and sometimes soy milk (I’m lactose intolerant). My bowel movements have become very regular, and copious, once or twice per day. But my flatulence has also become very regular, and both my gas and my stool smell different and more foul than before the diet change. Does this mean what I’m doing is unhealthy, or can it mean that I am achieving my goal of cleansing my system of nasties?

Actually, your on the right track. Your intestines and colon build up ‘junk" on the walls…just like your kitchen shink pipes do. When you detox you are taking the "junk" off the walls off by Layers. Especially if your an eat meater before all the waste stuck in your system just was rotting. It takes time to remove all the years of bad eating from your system.
Your doing great..keep it up!
As opposed to lovely smelling stool?
Just because it smells a "certain" way could be a variety of things from what you are eating to your meds that you are taking.
Ask a doctor, they can give you the best advice.
