10month old with prolific smelly poops!

[SassyPants19]

My little man has started eating clementines over the last 5 days and his nappies have been vile over the last three days. Is it possible he has an intolerance to oranges? The nappies are mushy in consistency and smell really tangy and pungent! He's bright as a button but the poops are two or three a day (he's usually a one day kinda of a boy!)

Clementines are the only new thing to have been introduced recently.

Does this sound like an intolerance? Is it normal? Or am I neurotic mummy? (Never been much of one in the past)

I wouldn't think it's an intolerance unless he seems distressed by the extra pooping or in tummy discomfort.

Lots of Vitamin C can cause loose stools. I'd just scale it back and let him have half of one per day or as much as his tummy can tolerate.

By the way I had this with one of my boys with a few foods when he was a baby - carrots, apricots, and something else. He few out of it and doesn't have any long term issues.

Ive had two babies without any food intolerances and both of them have been set off a bit by citrus fruits. You have to remember what is a small clementine to us is much bigger to his tiny body. Dd2 would eat as many as I give her but I stick to one a day at the most.

Thanks ladies....no citrus yesterday and today and (touch wood) no nappies on an Armageddon scale today...just a normal, almost pleasant bowel movement in comparison!
