My IBD cat's poop stinks! What food helps reduce the awful smell?

Question

Recently, the cat has been diagnosed with I.B.D. He is eating grocery store canned wet food. He was given a steroid shot. The same food the other cat is receiving. I was told to give him probiotics to help with digestion. He no longer has diarrhea but his bowel movements are still really stinky. Enough to where the land lady is complaining about the smell. Should I switch his food to other canned food or dry food if so what kind would you recommend? Thank You! Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | neutered

If he has IBD then you should talk to your vet about trying a prescription hypoallergenic diet like d/d or z/d or possible an OTC diet like Science diet sensitive stomach. These diets are easier to digest and may help with his IBD and the smell of his stool.
