My almost 3 year old has been having bad smelling sand like poop for the last week, what could the issue be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Malodorous stool: The bad smelling stool is within normal range and related to some food he ate. Observe for grey stools (malabsorption) with diarrhea, any fever, emesis, blood in stools requires further investigation. Otherwise, if no symptoms. not a worry.
