15 Mo Old With Loose Stools And Foul Odor
My 15-month old son likes to put in his mouth anything that he can grab with his hands. He also loves to play in our garden digging dirt with his bare hands. We tried stopping him but he was still able to put his dirty hands in his mouth behind our backs. It's been a month now that we noticed he has loose stool with peanut butter consistency and the odor is so foul that we have to soap his butt several times just to get rid of the odor.
Is there any remedy that we can use to make his stool normal?
B: This would certainly be an infection of fungal or bacterial type. To remedy, purchase one or any number of these herbs ---Garlic, Oregano, Olive Leaf, Neem, Grapefruitseed in liquid form from health-food store and add to food or drink for your child. Amounts used are labeled on the container so start w/ the minimum and slowly increase until the issue is resolved.

Dear Beth,
Activated charcoal may also help in addition to Tim's excellent suggestions.
I have given it to my children for diarrhea of many different causes. Mine will just chew up a tablet, or you can mix 1/4 teaspoon of the powder in some juice. It will make the stool black.
I also give a charcoal tablet to little ones any time they have possibly taken something in that is of concern. All households with children should have activated charcoal on hand in case of accidental poisoning. You can find lists of what poisons will be adsorbed by charcoal at:
