Sign of Allergy?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
DD is 5 months old and exclusively breadtfed. The past few weeks her dirty diapers have been smelling awful! Pretty much like rotten eggs. I'm not totally sure but there's a chance this could have started around the time I started eating more eggs and taking fermented cod liver oil (we are recent converts to traditional foods). Could this just be because those foods are smelly, or maybe an allergy to them? They are also sometimes green, but not always. Nothing about it seems to bother her though- she is happy and poops with almost every feeding. Does it sound like an allergy? Should I try cutting out the eggs?Thanks for your help!

It could just be a reaction to too many high sulfur foods. Some people do well with lots of foods high in sulfur, some can only handle limited amounts. Eggs are really high in sulfur (and that's likely the rotten egg smell in her poop). So maybe just pull back on the quantity some, and see if that helps?
