Should I Be Concerned As My Granddaughter Have Mucous And Foul Odor During Bowel Movements?

My two-year-old granddaughter has had bowel movements recently that appear to be stringy at times, sometimes look as though they have mucous in them, and have a different foul odor. I would love to know what the causes are and if we should be concerned.
