Thanks so much mpdela! I always wondered what that hot feeling was and I noticed that I didn't have it until my fecal odor started to get bad. Everything you said makes sense but do you know what kind of doctor I need to go to in order to find out what is causing it to be so acidic? Would that be a question for a gastroenterologist or a colon and rectal doctor? Or maybe I should just eliminate dairy on my own and see if that works. This whole time I thought that maybe the hot feeling was gas escaping and that was causing the fecal odor. But what you said makes so much more sense. Thanks again for your help and I'm gonna get right on this to see what is causing so much acid.
