Sorry not nice I know but there's been a funny iron type odour to my stools in the past week or so, I don't take supplements but I have been using chia seeds and cacao in my smoothie maker, could this be the cause? No blood visible and they look normal otherwise. I've had a fullness feeling under right rib cage for about 3 weeks and lots of flatulence . My gp suspects gallstones.

That's raw cacao powder not cocoa. Could it be old blood in stools? Should I go back to gp?
Yes it sounds like gallstones but could just be that your stomach is making too much acid. Has it was with me. If you go for a scan it is very quick and they tell you right away.
If we eat different things that can cause funny smells and are discoloration
Very best wishes
