Child Has Foul Smelling Flatulence, Has A Good Diet, No Instance Of Pain Or Food Allergies. Is Dairy A Better Choice For Detecting Allergy?
my 7 year old son has very foul smelling flatulence and has had it for a few years. He eats a fairly healthy diet with fruits, veggies, lean meats, wheat breads and cereals, eggs, nuts , milk... (very rarely fried foods or candy or soda ) No pain associated that we have noticed at all and he s never been diagnosed with any food allergies . If I were to try and determine a food allergy causing this, is dairy the best start, or something easier ? Also, how long should i remove a food before moving onto another to test it?

normally we dont need milk afte 2 years of life
when we add milk and diary many children start with different problems
you eliminate milk and diary
every thing will be fine
for confirmation can get blood serum tests for milk wheat potato specific antibodies
