Toddler With Lethargic, Foul Smelling Gas With A Low Appetite. Suggestion?
Hi my 2 year old boy is very lethargic, has foul smelling gas and gets very upset if the toilet is mentioned. He is preceding to lay quietly on his belly and frequently pulls his legs to his stomach . When he does get up he walks like he is about to poo himself and wants to be picked up. Last opened bowels yesterday and appetite is down a little bit.
