Yes poop coming out your belly button is possible but very unlikely and it's rare that someone has poop come out there belly button.

Your belly button is sealed up so there should be nothing coming out of your belly button unless your belly button comes open somehow.

I've heard of a few cases where some people experienced poop or fecal matter coming out there belly button but it's rare that it happens.

Poop can sometimes come out of a persons belly button due to the umbilical fistula, an abnormally developed passageway between the intestines and umbilicus which causes the poop to come out the belly button.

You're very unlikely to have it happen though although it happens and is entirely possible.

Bacteria and Fungal Infections are the most common cause of a belly button smelling like poop or even just smelling bad in general.

You can use some rubbing alcohol to help clean out your belly button.

Dip a cotton swab in some rubbing alcohol and then use the cotton swab to clean out your belly button.

You should clean your belly button daily or at least every few days to help keep bacteria and fungal infections from occurring in the belly button.

Your belly button smelling like poop is most likely caused by a fungal infection that can be cleared up using some fungal cream and washing out your belly button.

You can also clean the belly button using some rubbing alcohol or vinegar which helps to kill the bacteria causing the fungal infection.

Some other causes of a smelly belly button and a belly button that smells like poop is due to an unclean belly button that has dirt and bacteria, and other germs inside it.

Even when you shower sometimes dirt and germs and that other bacteria may still reside in the belly button especially if you don't clean it good enough.
