Why does my son look like hes pooping sand?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sandy poop: It is not normal to poop sandy like stuff unless he is eating sand. Since sand is not digested it comes out as sand! talk to ur pediatrician to have his poop examined by him/her or the lab. How old is ur son? Young children will sometimes have pica, meaning they will eat dirt or sand or other non food items if they have anemia.
