Yougurt helps with feces smell. Do you wear an appliance?
Hi, @henslee - having a colectomy is a big deal. Feeling like you smell like feces on the outside of your body afterward sounds not at all fun. Good thinking to have a friend confirm what you feel like you are smelling.
Have you had a chance to ask your colorectal surgeon about this smell you are noticing? If so, what did the doctor say about it?
