What Causes Yellowish Foul Smelling Stool?

My 2yr old just had a bowl movement and it was horrible smelling and very jelly like. Also looked mustard yellow. She had a previous bad smelling bm earlier today but it was a normal consistency and normal in color. Should I be worried. She hasn t eaten anything she hasn t had before. And she isn t acting sick or anything.

stool consistency and frequency in a 2 year old can change from greenish to yellowish and mucoid to semi solid to hard stools. If the child has no other symptoms in form of abdominal distension, vomiting, fever, not feeding well,there is nothing to be worried about. The child is absolutely normal and requires no medication.
Thanks and regards.
