What Can Cause Amonia Like Smell From Bowel Movement?

My granddaughter had a diaper rash that went on and off for about 9 days and I took her to a pediatrician and they said the rash was a yeast type and they gave me a topical to use until it cleared up. It cleared up within 3 days but I have noticed an amonia smell in he BM s, and I was wondering what could be causing this odor?

Hello,

It could be a bout of gastroenteritis.

If symptoms persist you can consult a pediatrician and get evaluated.

A detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.
