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

    Perms and hair removal products both contain chemicals that smell like sulfur, often described as “like rotten eggs” (my experience with rotten eggs is miniscule so I can’t confirm). Cruciferous vegetables contain sulfur, as do eggs of course. Thinking back on what you ate, remember it could be more than 24 hours ago, or it could be gas from tonight getting ahead of the poop.

    Some diseases can also make poop smell different so it’s worth trying to come up with a more accurate description before searching the Internet. Also take into account how you feel in general.

    I worked at a paper mill shutdown one time. I ended up sleeping in my truck for four days in the parking lot because all the local places were full. It was a short shutdown so I took the first layoff and drove to a the next job. After I got a shower and something to eat my first shit smelled like a paper mill. The prompts that take me back to the ‘good old days’.

    Search ammonia and sulfur smells in bowel movements, and see if any typical causes match your current dietary habits or medical status/medications including supplements. If they don’t, see a doctor, then get to a gastroenterologist, if you can. Maybe just do that, anyway. Regular checks, and digestive health are extremely important, regardless of weird poo and especially because of weird poo, no matter how uncomfortable, it’s more comfortable than the alternative.

    I’ve noticed that it sometimes smells like epoxy glue. I wonder if we’re thinking of the same scent.
