Smelly Farts and throat clearing

2 replies

I have two unrelated (I think) concerns about DS2.

Firstly, his farts are really pungent and people comment. His father's are too. Do you think DS2 has just inherited his dad's smelly guts? Or should I ask a doctor? Other children do comment on DS2's farts as recogniseable :(.

Secondly, he has to do a lot of throat clearing in the morning. He used to have a lot of anxiety and throat clear in class so I used to wonder if anxiety was the main problem. But this troat clearing has stayed as other anxiety symptoms faded. Do you think it is postnasal drip and if so can we do anything about it? He is 8.

Thank you.

My brother used to have really bad farts and we figured out it was related to milk, he generally only did them after drinking a lot of milk. Maybe it's something similar with ds? A food allergy?

The same brother also had issues with his throat feeling like he had something in there, doctor said he had OCD as nothing there.

In all honesty I'd just get him checked out at the docs as both things could be caused by a multitude of reasons

thank you.

Hmm, doctors. I guess I need to keep a diary....
