Smelly gas | Imamother

For some reason I can't remember this from my previous babies. My six month old passes really smelly gas throughout the day. He hardly ever has dirty diapers (not constipated, just infrequent), but when he does they smell like normal diapers for an exclusively breastfed baby. But the gas! Oh my! I can never remember to ask the pediatrician. Anyone familiar with this? Normal?

Bump. This sounds exactly like my six week old baby! Did you do anything about it?

Could be dairy sensitivity.

Funny, I was actually off dairy for about five months and it didn't change anything. But I recently took him for allergy testing and he's allergic to something else. I'm wondering if his smelly gas will stop once I adjust my diet accordingly.
