    Yep, I'd be guessing something you're noshing on is upsetting him - DS handles my liking for sweet stuff and chocolate fine but went wonky when I ate tabbouli, and gets gassy/unsettled if I have a lot of cauliflower or cabbage in my dinner.

    DS had wind that smelt like DEATH! The poor Osteo who was treating him would do an adjustment which would relax his bowel and he'd fart up a storm... then the poor love would try and hide the fact that she was gagging!

    This, along with lots of grunting, arching, poor sleep etc led us to discover that he is dairy intolerant. He's still a bit windy since I cut dairy from my diet but there's not the stench there was before, and if I happen to eat the slightest bit of dairy the death-toots (as DH calls them!) are back... along with a whole lotta screaming.

    I'd try eliminating different wind-causing foods (dairy, sugars, chocolate, citrus, onions and garlic, spicy foods...) and see if that makes any difference.

    bugger. i had to cut dairy for a few months with DD, but then she was ok with it. haven't had any chocolate or spicy foods, but we did get a big bag of lollies please, let DS not be reacting to sugar!

    might have to cut out dairy for awhile and see if that helps.

    My DD2 developed terribly smelly farts at about 2 months. I couldn't link it to food but there was a mild bout of gastro in my DD1 who was 2.5 at the time (so mild I didn't really put it all together until hindsight made it clear). DD2's poos definitely did get runnier and I figured she developed a bit of diarrhoea too.
