What Does Diabetic Poop Smell Like?

Diabetes is a chronic disease that is affecting many human beings now. It happens when the pancreas can’t produce enough insulin or the body can’t use the insulin that is generated by the pancreas, which’s what the body needs for proper functions. Globally, there are 422 million diabetes patients now. Diabetes is a disease that affects all age groups. There are several types of diabetes, including type 1, type 2, pre-diabetes, gestational diabetes, etc.

Now we are going to discuss the main topic, “What does diabetic poop look like?” and the symptoms a person develops when he or she suffers from high blood sugar.

When a person suffers from diabetes, he or she develops many symptoms, like increased thirst. Frequent urination, weight loss, fatigue, blurred vision, numbness or tingling in the hand, slow healing cuts, dehydration, gastrointestinal issues, etc. These symptoms are caused by the high level of ketones in the body, and these ketones change the smell and color of the poop.

When the diabetic is not controlled, he or she faces many gastrointestinal issues, which result in a change in the odor of the poop.

The poop smells fruity or sweet due to the presence of a high level of ketones in the body.

So we have come to the conclusion that when a person is affected by diabetes, he faces many gastrointestinal issues that result in a change in the color and odor of the poop. And the fruity scent, or sweet smell, is due to the high level of ketones in the body.

Is there any other reason?

What do you think, besides being diabetic what can be other reasons for sweet smelling poop? 

Sometimes there is no issue in our body. It is just what we eat that results in poop. Let’s take an example. The smell of onion is so strong because it contains sulfur. When you eat onion, you can feel your poop smell bad because of what you ate last night. 

It’s not just a rumor. It’s a true fact that your diet can affect the smell of your poop. If you eat normal food which doesn’t have some strong smell or ingredients then your poop is natural just like your food. But if you eat junk foods and many other bad for health type foods, your poop also gets affected.

Sometimes the reason for sweet smelling poop can be some type of particular infection. It’s rare but happens. It is a bacterial infection which is rare in human poop. 

This bacterial infection affects the smell of the poop and makes it musty and sweet. You may be confused if you have diabetes or it’s some kind of infection. 

Is sweet smelling poop a sign of diabetes?
