Why does my stool smell like fish

Im having diarrhea like condition from a long time. Doctor gave me probiotics and rabeprazole. But after that also, there's a lot of explosive stool with gas. Yesterday i was sitting and i farted and a sticky fluid came out which smelled like fish 🐟. Is it amoeba? Doc told me its because of acidity and told me to do endoscopy.
