What Causes Light Colored And Bad Odor Stools In A 22 Month Old?

Hello, my son is 22 months. He has had 3 very light colored, beige stools today. I would compare it to the color of oatmeal. They smell very sour. This color is out of the ordinary for him. He is not on any medication. I recently introduced gummy bear multi-vitamins into his diet. Should I be concerned?

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...Unless the kid's having low urine output or very dull or excessively sleepy or blood in motion or green bilious vomiting...you need not worry. I don't think this is related to the gummy bear vitamin supplements. If any of the above mentioned signs develop, I suggest you consult your pediatrician.
