Question 1

my 14-mo. old is having frequent blonde colored stools. i'm struggling to get him to eat and drink enough. what foods might cause this? nut butters?

Nothing particular: Stool color is dominated by the dark green bile that is added during digestion. This colorizer will go through various shades  from green to blond yellows and on to browns as the gut germs metabolise the residual nutrients. Color at exit  is basically determined by how long the debris is in the system unless an external additive (food dyes) alters the process.Yellows mean it went through quicker.

Accepted Answer

Not concerning.: Stool color can vary because of a lot of factors, most notably diet. It is generally not a concern unless the store is bloody or solid black in color, due to bleeding, or rarely very pale due to gallbladder problems. If it persists to be a change in your usual color despite eating your normal diet, you might mention it to your family doctor. Otherwise, it will likely return to normal. Good luck.

Can't tell from here: Stool texture (regardless of volume or frequency of movements) is defined by the bristol stool scale (bss), which ranges from 1 (hard, pellet stool) to 7 (loose, watery stool). Normal stool grades a 4 on the bss. On the other hand, "diarrhea" is defined by volume and stool frequency (typically more than 4-5 bowel movements/day). Tell your doctor as well about bleeding, fever, tenderness, &amp; pain.

Question 10

what causes black grit in stools ?

Accepted Answer

Seeds, blood...: Dark-colored stools may result from iron supplements, foods you eat (like a lot of spinach), substances (like peptobismol), but most significantly suggests bleeding. When blood is denatured by acid in your stomach, as from ulcers, stools will turn tarry ("melena"). Blood may also be ingested from nose bleeds, bleeding gums... Persistent melena (without obvious cause) &amp; symptoms warrants doc visit.
