Reason For Foul Smell In Child's Stools?
Hi. My son, now 12 has always had very foul smelling stools. Sulphur. He is healthy, optimum weight, lots of sports and eats well. 4-5 pieces of fruit daily. Meat 3-4 times wily. Limited take away food. Limited sweets.
The smell seems to be getting stronger. He is embarrassed.

hi having smell with the stools is associated with irregular toilet habits ie withholding the stools or due to intake of high spicy oily diet with less fibre,fruits and vegetables.My advise is to give him atleast half a kilo of fruits along with banana,carrot.cucumber veggies which will be helpful.Hope it answers your query and ready to help you further
