exposed to a virus (her brother was sick with what seems like a virus), and she

started having runny, watery poop, that smells HORRIBLE- not like ammonia, but

like gasoline! It's been going on for about a week. Child is already off of

gluten and dairy and it doesn't seems o be due to any food changes. Anyone know

what this smell can be? No behavioral changes have been noticed other than a

little irritable- what you would expect from a tummy bug.
