A member asked:

In a 16 mo old boy is 11% fecal fat considered normal? what about a stool ph of 8.5?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stool is alkaline: The best way to evaluate stool fat is by collecting 24 hours stool. The normal is less than 7 grams. The stool is usually alkaline so ph of 8.5 is not worrisome.
