What Causes Burnt Poop Smell And Diarrhea During Pregnancy?
I'm about 12 weeks pregnant and im constantly going between constipation, diarrhea and then a burnt poop smell when I'm regular. The burnt smell really concerns me and the fact that sometimes I can only go to the bathroom If I eat something greasy which is upsetting cause my cravings are for anything but greasy and heavy. .

Dear member,
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Diarrhea can be due to fatty food. Indigestion, capsules taken during pregnancy especially iron supplements can cause constipated.
Besides pregnancy is associated with constipation due to high level of hormone progesterone.
I would recommend plenty of water. Try bannana and apples in your diet. Increased the salad vegetables like cucumber. This should solve your problem.
If still unresolved write back.
Thanks.
