Question 1

Not sure : Babies with hirschsprung's disease may not be able to have a bowel movement at all.  Some may just be constipated or only stool with stimulation of the rectum and anus.  There is no fixed frequency of bowel movement.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: There are other medications that can help with trigeminal neuralgia, including several of the medications that are most commonly used to treat epilepsy.

Question 3

for couple weeks, i have bathroom issue. like cramping at times but i have noticed possibly mucus in stool. like jelly-like and on stool like white mucus i think. no blood, i can eat still. stool frequency has changed. i tend to google so im scared?

Accepted Answer

Mucus: I regard this as mucus colitis or irritable bowel syndrome. The presence of mucus is not a sign of serious pathology. Can you identify any food or stress that triggers loose bowel movements? Have you noted bouts of cramping &amp; loose stools in the past? A fodmap diet(Google it) can be helpful. I don't think you have inflammatory bowel disease or an infection. Consult a gastroenterologist as needed.

Question 4

my baby stool color white,  is it normal?

Accepted Answer

Varies: based upon baby;s age, diet and nutition.

Question 5

is it possible for my baby to have a meconium plug without any underlying health issues?  all his newborn screening tests came back normal.   plus, he stools on his own.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, it's possible to have a meconium plug and not a serious condition like cystic fibrosis or bowel disease, but it's best to have the testing done to be sure.

Question 6

5months old baby having green,froathy stool  4times aday,exclusive breast feed,is this normal,when will my baby stool pattern comes normal?

Accepted Answer

Persistent Diarrhea: Your breast-fed 5 month old has a history of diarrhea and taking antibiotics. She continues to have abnormal stools. Your baby should continue breast-feeding and close observation by your doctor is important. The initial illness combined with antibiotics can prolong your baby's recovery. Monitoring for a chronic condition or additional diagnoses will be required until the stools normalize.

Question 7

how much time does it take for meth to exit a newborn babys stool?

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: A fetus begins to make meconium about 12 weeks into pregnancy. It remains one of the preferred markers for drug exposure because it is relatively inert. Meth exposure can leave small amounts of drug in the meconium that will remain detectable months after use.

Question 8

my 4 months old baby stool color is grey. what are the reasons for grey color of stool and treatments. he is bottel feeding?

Accepted Answer

?normal: This could be normal. White stools could signify liver disease. I would observe for a few days. Check with your dr. If persists.

Question 9

i changed the formula on my 3month old from enfamil infant to enfamil a.r he passes stools 5 times a day now: yellow thicker w/ mucus is that normal?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The difference between the two formulas is that the ar contains a rice starch to "thicken" the formula a bit so that the baby doesn't spit up as much. This can increase fiber content in the stool, making the stools a bit thicker. 5 poops a day for a 3 month old is totally normal. Babies poop a lot!

Question 10

when u see white spots in baby stool what do that means?

Accepted Answer

White spots: White spots in baby's stool may be due to medication, curdled milk or possibly lack of bile as long as your baby is feeding well and gaining weight i would not be concerned.
