Can teething cause a change in poop?

General Question/Discussion

I have a late teether! My 2 year old is just now getting her top/bottom canines and they’re all coming in at once. Honestly though, she’s still been pretty happy - she’s eating normal, sleeping (mostly) normal, and acting her usual self.

The only thing that’s changed: her poops!

This girl has dealt with constipation for a long time. Mostly firm poops and very few soft ones. The last few days they’ve been alternating between her usual to very soft, mushy stools. One being a big blowout on Sunday morning. We had to change her bed sheets, etc! Since Sunday, she’s had some normal/firm poops with these random mushy and messier ones.

As I stated, she’s acting normal and eating normal. No fever. Just very inconsistent bowel movements.

Is this teething?!
