Re: strong smelling stool??????

January 22, 2004

my daughter has been on the ketogenic diet 3 years.

we noticed her stool in the last year has gotten almost a medicinal smell to

it. a really really strange odor.( it reminds of us of an okra smell not to

be gross) we asked our pedicatrician and he commented maybe it was her

water intake. she weighs about 29 pounds. she is 3 1/2 years old and takes

in about 1000ccs of fluid a day. 750ccs of ketocal and 350 ccs of fresh

water with either vitamins or meds.

anyone have any suggestions what this could be caused from. we definately

dont want to increase her water intake. we usually give her glucerine

suppositories every other day to stimulate a Bowel movement. she has soft

stools usually nothing like diarhea.

i am worried and i wonder if i should see a GI doc since our pediatrician

didnt think much of it.

it will knock you out the smell is so strong

thanks so much

tasha
