What Causes Constipation With Strong Smell?
My 6 month old has a problem with constipation. I only give apple juice to help it and stopped using so much oatmeal in his bottles. But anyway today he had two hard poops then a normal one like usual but this time his normal poop had a strong, like very very strong chemical smell that you could smell through out the house. It was very over powering. Would you have a clue to what it could be and should I call a doctor?
