Poop / Prep H / Hemerroids / malabsorption question

… TMI / Poop Warning…

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this, I’ve recently had hemerroids and have used the Preparation H clear gel 3 days in a row, I’ve noticed that my stools have a very distinct smell that is nothing like how a stool usually smells, at first I thought I had Covid and my sense of smell had been affected because it was more like a banana peel pulp without the banana scent / milk smell especially when I wipe (sorry)

This morning wasn’t as bad but I’ve noticed the stool seems to have some small undigested pieces in it. I’m a fast eater so it could be that I hadn’t chewed properly and that I’m noticing more because the smell was so strange the past few days that I’m scrutinising everything.

For context I drink a pint of lemon water every morning which has always made my movements looser.

Question is does the Preparation H make things smell different/ strange?
