Symptom #10: Smelly, Greasy Stools
Before modern medicine, medical practitioners would regularly check a patient’s stools to get an idea of their overall health. It was very effective and was able to tell the doctor a great deal about the patient. In fact, stools are often still requested in some cases to help reach a diagnosis.
People with cystic fibrosis will have a thick, sticky mucus throughout their digestive system, and this will be visibly noticeable in their stools. It will also lead to stools that are considerably more malodorous than usual. If you are producing stools that are abnormal in some way, you should seek advice from a medical expert.
