Watery, clear, foul-smelling rectal discharge

I've had a clear, watery rectal discharge for a couple months. The liquid has a fishy/sewer smelling odor. The discharge worsens when I'm anxious and smells like a flatulence when I'm sitting/trapping the moisture. I have also noticed that my stool has had a particularly foul smell lately. My symptoms are anal itching, some burning with the discharge and anal discomfort. I payed the GI a visit and recieved a physical exam. The doctor couldn't find anything and put me on a week's dosage of antibiotics which did not solve the problem. I am not sexually active and have been taking one seven-billion unit probiotic tablet every day. My age is seventeen. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like a yeast infection. unfortunately, antibotics make this worse. Doctors are quite ignorant when it comes to yeast. Your probiotic is not strong enough. I'd try one that is at least 20 billion (the ones that require refrigeration are much better). You also should try cutting down on sugars, carbs, and starches as that is what feeds the yeast.

Thank you, I was thinking about going on a vegetable broth/salad candida cleanse with psyllium husk and liquid bentonite clay. The only thing holding me back is my appetite. I suppose I'll just have to embrace hunger for a bit.
