A question, oh wise ones.
What could be the etiology of stinky gas in an exclusively breastfed infant
whose stools don't smell, only the gas?  He is not colicky, has normal seedy
stools about 4x/day.  I told the mom just "relative" lactose intolerance,
and that it would improve with time as his lactase enzyme increases, but
could there be something else?  Also I told her to try a little acidophilus,
if she wants to.
