Phew! My three year old has suddenly developed bad gas. This has been going on for the past four days. And it stinks! Poor thing - she constantly smells like it. Just today she has started complaining that her tummy hurts, although she still has her appetite.

What can I do to help alleviate this? She hasn't eaten anything recently that is different from her normal food items. There is a tummy bug going around her school and I gave her a glass of kefir the other day - could that be causing it? Or the tummy bug itself? Or something else?

How can I make it better? Even when she seems to be feeling ok, the smell is so noticeable I wondered if her preschool teachers would be ok with her being in school.

... guess I should add that this morning she also had really runny stools (sorry TMI). But nothing since then. Poor sweet pea.

No one has ideas for what could be causing this strong gas!? It is really affecting our every day lives.

(DD's tummy feels better but still bad bad gas.)

Could easily be a virus or bacteria. It should go away in a few days.

for your little one and her bad tummy.

Sounds like a mild bug to me, considering the runny stools. I'd give it a few days!

It sounds like some type of virus to me too. I'd focus on foods that are easy to digest (soup with homemade stock is our go-to food) and fermented foods. I don't know of anything besides those.
