Poo consistency a concern

Hi.

My ds is almost three and has (forever it seems) had really sloppy poo. I thought this was down to the fact that he eats loads of fruit and veg and drinks a fair amount of water too but my nursery have told me that it's not normal and should probably be checked out. She said that the smell reminded her of another case where the doctors were able to help in prescribing something to make the poo not so sloppy.
DS is not concerned and is happy and healthy but actually I am getting concerned in that he might not be able to get to the loo on time once potty training starts if he continues like this.

Advice from all you lovely mums out there would very much be appreciated. Do I take a sample to the docs?

Thanks a mill.

definitley mention it to Dr...

the nursary staff will have probably seen alot more poo than you and realise its not normal!

they also mention that its smells.. different... healthy poo shouldnt have much odour at alland shouldnt rteally be that offensive

definitely worth checking out IMO.... what have ugot to loose?
