Fruity breath and stool, not diabetic?

I have had a very strange symptom for about two weeks now. I have a taste in my mouth/on my breath that is not typical. It doesn't taste foul or bad, but it's constant, and tastes more on the sweet side. Not to be TMI but I've also noticed everytime I've had a bowel movement, I notice the same profile smell (albeit it doesn't smell "good", but my first guess is "sweet"). I haven't had any recent illnesses or taken any new medications. I haven't changed my diet. I am not diabetic, and do not have a low carb diet, so I don't think I am in DKA. I don't really have any other symptoms either. I feel like I will be taken as crazy or just an "anxious woman" if I go into my doctor and say I have a weird taste in my mouth and a weird smell in my poop. She would be like ok try mouthwash? Even though I am not in pain or having any super impactful symptoms, I just can't shake the feeling that it isn't right and it's unsettling.
