Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Loose Smelly Stools After Having Food?
My 3 year old has had loose stools since Mid Aug. They are foul smelling and runny. She ran a low grade fever. Doc has tested her urine samples twice now and say she's fine. We did an abdomen x-ray 2 weeks ago - thought she was impacted so they suggested MiraLax, pear juice, caro syrup. we did the caro syrup tonight because nothing has changed. We took her to the chiropractor and her running nose stopped. Today at daycare she had another wet runny diaper and a runny nose. She doesn't act sick. She had red rings under her eyes. We've stopped giving her apple juice. She eats fine but after a few bites says her tummy is full. Lately she doubles over and then has a massive wet messy smelly diaper and she's fine. What next????
