Chemical smelling stool in 15 month old, should we be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your Doctor: 15 mos old, "chemical smelling stool". Stool odor is influenced by foods in our diet. Digestion breaks down food into its basic chemical components, causing distinctive odors. However, infants can be born with defects in a metabolic pathway. Buildup of naturally occuring chemicals can cause odor as such of body fluids. These diseases can cause physical & cognitive delays & more. See your doctor.
