Neither of my boys have had recurring tummy issues (each had a 24 hour virus once, and Teddy had a 48 hour bug more recently).
Teddy is sort of a nervous/anxious guy internally. He gets anxious waiting for his favorite activities. Would that be why he is more fragrant? I definitely think his body chemistry is different than Max's.
