The smell of Keflex

So recently I had to start taking Keflex (an basic antibiotic.) Whenever I open the bottle it smells like a mixture of sulphur and garbage juice. Seriously disgusting 
The pills are nearly impossible to take without gagging because of the awful smell, and i've got to take them everyday, 3 times a day.
Anyone else ever noticed the rank smell of keflex? Or any other medication that you've had to take?
EDIT: I also forgot to add that there are a lot of gastrointestinal side effects with this antibiotic as well. Any idea on how I could combat those?

I've never had any experience with the antibiotic your are referring to, but I have a question for you:
Whenever I've had to take the "Z-Pak" antibiotics it would leave a really weird metal taste in my mouth as well as stomach discomfort. That led to me not really being able to eat while on the medicine. Have you been experiencing something similar with the Keflex?

Yes. My stomach has been churning since I started taking it (it's been about 5 days now.) I have a decrease in appetite, and whenever I do eat I immediately feel sick afterword.
I didn't notice the metal taste though.

Jeep the bottle open as this helps and eat before you take the pill

I had to have a couple of ingrown toenails removed, and they were infected.
