There is no blood in the stools.

This may sound gross, but are your stools more foul smelling than normal? Are they oily? This could be a sign of something called steatorrhea...i.e. a high content of fat in your stool. It could be because you're either eating a huge load of fat, or else your body is having trouble processing fats on its own.

Does this apply to you?
